Senatorial candidate and former Deparment of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar has underscored vital infrastructure developments that were started under the Duterte administration’s “Build, Build, Build’ initiative.
In a press statement on Tuesday, May 3, Villar highlighted 11 Visayas-based projects that were begun during the current administration.
Four of these projects have already been completed, namely the Kalibo Bridge 3 in Aklan, the Iloilo Esplanade park in Iloilo City, the Candoni-Gatuslao-Basay Road in Negros Occidental, and the Himamaylan City-Negros Oriental Boundary-Tayasan Road between Negros Occidental and Oriental.
Meanwhile, the seven projects that are currently being developed are the Boracay Circumferential Road in Boracay, Aklan; the Ungka and Aganan Flyovers in Iloilo City; the Maayon-Sara Road in Panay Island; the Panay East-West Lateral Road in Western Visayas; the Comon-San Pedro Coastal Road in Antique; the Guimaras Circumferential Roadin Guimaras; and the Bacolod Negros Occidental Economic Highway between Bacolod City and Victorias City.
“The ‘Build, Build, Build’ program continues to implement high-impact infrastructure programs and successfully provided quality infrastructure facilities and services responsive to the needs of every Filipino”, Villar said in the same statement.
Villar’s main platform as a senatorial candidate in the May 9 polls is the continuation of the Build, Build, Build infrastructure modernization program. This includes seeing the completion of the infrastructure projects currently in development.
