President Duterte has always put the interest of the Filipino people foremost in his governance. He would always stress that he was the people’s servant.
Perhaps it is that humility, despite being the most powerful man in the country, that has truly endeared him to the Filipino people.
Moreover, it mobilized the largest workforce in Philippine history—6.5 million Filipinos—to implement an infrastructure plan consistent with the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity that aims to facilitate flow of capital, goods, and people nationwide in every region in the country.Six years won’t be enough to solve all of the country’s woes, especially of a nation which has a history of chronic underspending on infrastructure.
While these projects were completed, many others were also being constructed. No time was wasted. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Filipino workers continued building roads, bridges, and many other infrastructure projects.
Among the flood mitigation structures that have been completed include the Mandaluyong Main Drainage Project, the pumping stations at Barangays Wawang Polo and Coloong, the Flood Risk Management Project for Cagayan River, the Flood Risk Management Project for Tagoloan River, the Leyte Tide Embankment Project, and the Pasig Marikina River Flood Control Project.
Among the major road and bridge projects that have already been completed were the Northern Luzon Expressway Harbor Link Segment 10; Radial Road 10; Mindanao Avenue Extension Segment 2C; Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3; Fort Bonifacio-Nichols Road ; NLEX Harbor Link C3-R10 Section; Bonifacio Global City-Ortigas Center Link Road Project; Estrella – Pantaleon Bridge; and the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge.
