00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. insisted on five projects for the implementation of a new Philippines.
00:07What are those? Let's find out in the news of Kenneth Faciente's country.
00:14That's impossible.
00:16That's what President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. insisted on his participation in the ceremonial signing of the five infrastructure projects of the Department of Transportation
00:25that will make it easier for Filipinos to live, especially in Visayas and Mindanao.
00:31Among the signed projects is the New Cebu International Container Port Project, which is worth P17 billion.
00:37According to the President, it will help to prevent congestion in Cebu Bay's port.
00:43He will also support the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit Project for the expected and efficient transport system for Cebuans.
00:51Costing over P28 billion, this modern bus network will connect key parts of Cebu City,
00:57making daily commuters easier in their commute and more comfortable.
01:02The President also insisted that tourism in the province of Bohol will be strengthened
01:07through the Bohol-Panglao International Airport PPP Project Concession Agreement,
01:12which aims to develop the so-called Paliparan using a fund of P4.5 billion.
01:18Through the Executive Board, it is expected that this project will generate P15 billion in revenue in the first five years,
01:25which will increase to P200 million per year after the concession period of the project.
01:31But more than just the revenue, its true success will be the number of lives that it will change for the better in Bohol.
01:40It is a promise to our beloved people that they will be the first to benefit
01:44from the continued arrival of tourists and of investors.
01:48The agreement was also signed for the New Dumaguete and New Siargao Regional Airports,
01:53which, according to the President, will comply with the limited connectivity of the two places
01:57to make it more accessible to tourists.
02:00The government will also ensure that the new Paliparan will comply with the strict monitoring.
02:06But beyond the technical aspects, what is important is a positive change that they will bring.
02:12These projects shall allow our farmers to efficiently bring produce to new markets,
02:18tourists to discover more of the charms of these islands,
02:22and entrepreneurs to expand their businesses.
02:25The Chief Executive also agreed that these projects will serve as a pathway
02:29to opening opportunities, especially job opportunities.
02:33The President also agreed that the government will continue to strive to implement projects
02:39that will greatly benefit the Filipinos.
02:43These projects are not just structures.
02:45They are representative of every Filipino's dream of more comfortable travel,
02:52better opportunities, and a clearer path towards their goals and dreams.
