MANILA -- President Rodrigo Duterte will start all 100 flagship infrastructure projects within his term and complete "around 38," an economic adviser said Friday.
Duterte's "Build, Build, Build" list of trains, railways, airports, roads and bridges was recently expanded to 100 from the original 75. "We commit to start ALL the projects in this revised list, complete around 38 of them within the President’s term while the rest will either be partially operable or have substantial accomplishment moving into the next administration," Presidential Adviser on Flagship Projects Vince Dizon said in a letter to Albay Rep. Joey Salceda.
Salceda earlier proposed the filing of a bill to grant Duterte "emergency powers" to move "Build, Build, Build" faster.Under the revised list, 35 projects are currently ongoing, 32 will commence construction in 6 to 8 months, 21 are in advanced stages of approval and 12 in the advanced stages of feasibility study, Dizon said.
The new list is categorized into 5: Transport and Mobility, Power, Water, Information and Communications Technology, and Urban Development and Renewal.
