IN his second SONA on Monday, President Marcos shared with the nation the government’s blueprint to enhance the country’s physical connectivity infrastructure. He said: “One of the keys to continuing economic growth is infrastructure development. So, we will build better, and more. Our P8.3-trillion “Build Better More” Program is currently in progress and being vigorously implemented.”
Marcos said the country’s road network plans must link not only our three major islands, but also all prospective sites of economic development. “The 1,200-kilometer Luzon Spine Expressway Network Program will effectively connect Ilocos to Bicol from 20 hours to just 9 hours of travel,” he said. The President reported that as of June this year, the government has constructed, maintained, and upgraded more than 4,000 kilometers of roads and around 500 bridges across the country. Crucial airport and port development projects across the country have also been completed, including Cebu’s Pier 88 smart port, and the new passenger terminal buildings of Clark Airport and the Port of Calapan.
