Duterte wants ADB to boost support for ‘Build, Build, Build’

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday he wants an improved relationship with the Asian Development Bank to further push his administration’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ infrastructure program.

ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa paid a courtesy call on Duterte at the Department of Finance office on Monday to discuss the bank’s assistance in different government programs.
