Does Max Planar 3-SAT admit a PTAS?

Suppose we are given a formula $phi$ of 3-SAT, with variables $x_1,dots, x_n$ and clauses $C_1,dots, C_m$. Consider the graph $G_phi$ where there is one node for each clause $C_i$, for each positive literal $x_i$ and for each negative literal $overline{x_i}$. A literal is adjacent to a clause if and only if this clause contains the literal. $phi$ is a planar instance If $G_phi$ is planar.
Max planar 3-SAT is defined as the restriction of Max 3-SAT to planar instances.
This problem is known to be NP-hard. Is this problem also APX-Hard or there exists a known PTAS for this problem ?

Yes, a PTAS for Max-Planar-3-SAT can be constructed by using Brenda Baker's approach.
This has been observed, for instance, in Theorem 17 in
