During his speech before the crowd at the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV) in Cebu City on Saturday, May 27, Marcos said his administration is facilitating the implementation of big-ticket infrastructure projects to accelerate the development not only of the province but also of the entire Philippines. “Nakita ninyo naman, marami tayong kailangan pinapaspas, minamadali doon sa trabaho ng paglagay ng mga pagbabago, paggawa ng lahat ito, lahat nung nakikita ninyong problema na hinaharap natin. Precisely, lahat talaga nung ating isinisigaw noong kampanya (You have seen it, we are expediting the works that need to be done for the improvement and for all the problems that we are facing. Precisely, these are all the things you have cried out for during the campaign),” Marcos said. The President said these areas include agriculture, energy, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). He told the Cebuanos that the administration is in the right direction to fulfill his campaign promises as he boasted to them that the Philippines is "the fastest growing country in the world" in economic terms. “Tama yung ating direksyon. Tama yung ating mga iniisip. Tama naman yung ating mga ipinaglaban. Talagang ipinaglaban naman talaga natin ‘yan dahil hindi naman naging madali. Syempre wala naman kampanya na madali (Our direction is right. Our mindset is right. What werare fighting for is right. We are really fighting for that because it was not easy for us. Of course, there is no easy campaign),” the President pointed out. Marcos also took the opportunity to thank Cebu residents, one of the biggest voting blocs in the country, for their overwhelming support during the last presidential election. “Dahil sa tulong ninyo at napakalaking bahagi syempre ang Central Visayas, napakalaking bahagi ng voting population ng buong Pilipinas (Because of your help, considering that Central Visayas is a big part of the voting population in the country),” he said. The chief executive was in Cebu to attend the grand launch of Pier 88 seaport project in Liloan. Pier 88, which will serve as a port for passenger ferries and cargo vessels, is expected to become an economic gateway for Northern Cebu.
