00:00 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has allowed
00:03 several projects to be initiated in Zamboanga, Cebu.
00:06 The so-called projects are under the Mindanao Road Sector Project
00:12 which aims to bring services and economic development to the Zamboanga Peninsula.
00:18 According to the President, this is part of a series of government projects
00:23 such as new roads, roadways, and roads to the country.
00:29 Alan Francisco has more.
00:31 As the rest of these structures reach completion,
00:36 they embody the promise and commitment of the government
00:40 to push infrastructure development beyond our metropolitan areas.
00:45 The development of infrastructure should not only be centered in the cities
00:50 but also in the faraway provinces.
00:53 This is the message of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:56 when he visited Alicia, Zamboanga, Cebu to lead the inauguration of three core projects
01:03 under the Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project.
01:07 After four years since it started,
01:10 finally we are here to open the three core projects
01:14 that have originally formed the backbone of the IGC-MRSP.
01:20 I would like to note that these projects have expanded from their original scope
01:26 to include additional road and bridge developments across the Zamboanga Peninsula out to Tawi-Tawi.
01:33 The three core projects have a total length of 69.07 kilometers
01:39 including 11 bridges.
01:42 Among them are Alicia Malangas Road and Lutiman Guicam Olotanga Road
01:47 which are located in Zamboanga, Cebu and Tampilisan-Santayong Road in Zamboanga, North.
01:54 The project is expected to accelerate the development of infrastructure in the Zamboanga Peninsula
02:00 and to provide assistance to the residents there.
02:03 Because of this, President Marcos believes that the project will greatly help the economy of Zamboanga
02:09 and the peace and order in Mindanao.
02:11 At the same time, it will also help to expand the Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia,
02:17 Philippines East Asian Growth Area Road Network.
02:20 What we are doing, the reason that the BINPIAGA is important,
02:24 we can see and hear that in all the problems that the economies are facing,
02:31 not only in the Philippines, but also in the whole world,
02:35 are the so-called supply chain problems.
02:39 The President also thanked the Asian Development Bank
02:42 for their support for the project.
02:45 President Marcos also promised that the government will continue
02:49 the construction of roads, bridges, bridges and roads to the country.
02:55 Improved physical connectivity will always be a vital facet of our development efforts
03:01 as outlined in this administration's Philippine Development Plan
03:05 and the Eight Points Socio-Economic Agenda.
03:09 That is why this government is more determined than ever
03:12 to pursue projects that will recognize our dream of a stronger and more interconnected Philippines.
03:18 Philippines.
