00:00The longest bridge in Mindanao that crosses the sea has been opened.
00:04It will shorten the distance between Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental.
00:09Here is the report of Cyril Chavez of GMA Regional TV.
00:16From the previous 2 hours, the distance between Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental is only 7 minutes.
00:24If you will pass through this 3.17km bridge that connects 2 provinces,
00:30that is the newly opened so-called Bay Bridge.
00:34It is the longest bridge that crosses the sea in Mindanao.
00:38Because it has 62 ton capacity, many types of vehicles can pass through these 2 lanes.
00:45Except if the weight is more than 30 tons like a big truck.
00:51It was spent by more than 8 billion pesos that the government borrowed from a Korean bank
00:57and modern Korean bridge technology was used.
01:01But more than just a physical bridge, we are connecting the dreams and aspirations
01:08of the people of Lanao del Norte and of Misamis Occidental.
01:12Our business, agriculture, education, tourism, health, investment opportunities and more will be improved.
01:25The completion of the project will surely contribute to the attainment of our provincial vision
01:31of Misamis Occidental living peacefully, progressively and happily.
01:37The possible completion of the 60km per hour speed limit in Tulay is being studied.
01:43And if the toll will increase or not,
01:45Misamis Occidental will benefit from Tulay.
01:48Formally declared insurgency-free province.
01:52We have succeeded in our campaign to end the decades of conflict in the 60 barangays in your province
01:59that were once in the clutches of insurgent movements.
02:04Of course, we are happy.
02:06We have received a lot of aid.
02:10There are no more insurgents in our area.
02:17The number of insurgents here is zero.
02:20We were able to end all the insurgents here in Misamis Occidental in the last month.
02:28A total of P10,000 financial aid was given to the 120 former rebels in the province.
02:35There is also financial aid for the poor there and to the beneficiaries of the program.
