THE GOVERNMENT said it is ready for the resumption of all big-ticket projects under its “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said continuing the implementation of “Build, Build, Build” would help the country recover from the negative impact of the Covid-19 crisis. “Kasama po sa ating stratehiya kung paano tayo babangon sa trahedya sa Covid-19 ang ‘Build, Build, Build’ at kasama na po diyan ‘yung mga flagship projects natin. All systems go para sa projects,” he said.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has allowed the resumption of all key infrastructure projects under the “Build, Build, Build” program despite the threat posed by Covid-19.
Roque said the construction of infrastructure projects is underway.
“In-allow na po ng IATF yung konstruksyon muli ng priority projects natin at lahat po iyan ay ongoing na ngayon,” he said.
The Department of Finance also signed loan agreements with the Japan International Cooperation Agency for two flagship infrastructure projects – the P57-billion loan to support the Cebu-Mactan Fourth Bridge and the Coastal Road Construction in the Visayas, and the P18.5-billion supplemental funding for the Davao City by-pass road project.
The government has expressed optimism that “Build, Build, Build” would revitalize the Philippine economy as it is expected to create jobs in the country. About P1 trillion would be spent this year for the implementation of the program. (Ruth Abbey Gita-Carlos)
