MANILA – Undoubtedly, infrastructure projects are one of the hallmarks of the Duterte administration, which will end in a month.

According to the report of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) acting Secretary Roger Mercado at the Duterte Legacy Summit held at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City on Monday, the Duterte government delivered what it promised five years ago.

President Rodrigo Duterte made the vow during his State of the Nation address on July 24, 2017, and major infrastructure projects have become synonymous with the government since then.

“Build, Build, Build” (BBB) chief implementer Undersecretary Emil Sadain delivered the report of Mercado.

“We will make the next few years the golden age of infrastructure in the Philippines to enhance our mobility and connectivity, and thereby spur development growth. In other words, we are going to build, build and build,” according to the DPWH report.

With the notion that economic activities cannot be conducted properly without adequate infrastructure, the BBB program was initiated.

“The fundamental objective of the ‘Build, Build, Build’ program is to invest adequately in infrastructure to support and sustain the country’s growing economic activities represented by its Gross Domestic Product,” Sadain said.

From 2016 to 2020, all initiatives created 6.5 million jobs to Filipinos.

Projects

The final section of TPLEX (Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway), Plaridel By-Pass Road Phase II, NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) Harbor Link Segment 10 and C3-10 Section, Skyway Stage 3, and Alabang-Sucat Skyway Extension are among the completed projects.

For the road sector, notable accomplishments are the completed road sections of Central Luzon Link Expressway, Cavite Laguna Expressway, and Manila Cavite Toll Expressway.

According to the DPWH, the country’s highways and expressways were expanded to pave the way for regional development and eventually decongest highly urbanized areas, which include the construction of Davao City-By-pass Road Project featuring the country’s longest road mountain tunnel that is still under construction.

“One game-changing projects of DPWH is the Luzon Spine Expressway Network Program. Once these projects are completed, travel time from Ilocos to Bicol will be reduced from 20 hours to 9 hours,” he added.

Bridges, roads

The Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge, the Bonifacio Global City-Ortigas Center Link Road Project, and the recently completed Binondo-Intramuros Bridge were the three major projects completed under the Metro Manila Logistics Improvement program.

Through the construction of short and long span bridges, the Inter-Island Linkage/Mega Bridge Program will establish connections among the several islands of the country.

DPWH is also expediting the construction of the Panguil Bay Bridge, which will connect Tangub, Misamis Occidental and Tubod, Lanao del Norte, as well as the detailed engineering design of several mega bridges.

Under the Duterte administration, 40,080 kilometers (km) of roads were constructed, maintained, widened, upgraded, and rehabilitated, among them 3,101-km tourism roads; 999-km completed roads leading to industries and trade corridors; 573-km access roads that will enhance linkages toward seaports, airports, and railway stations to further augment the logistics, transport, and economic activities in these key transport hubs; and 2,712-km completed farm-to-market roads.

There were 6,854 bridges constructed, widened, upgraded, rehabilitated, and strengthened.

Infrastructures provided basic social services, like 259 projects under the Center and Residential Care Facility program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development; 245 projects that will enhance the capability and readiness of the military and police; 157,383 classrooms and 2,315 school workshop buildings; 302 evacuation centers; 7,369 projects under the Health Facilities Enhancement Program; 901 facilities equivalent to 33,236-bed capacity in We Heal As One Centers in response to Covid-19.

Other projects

In response to the effects of climate change and the rising frequency of floods, the government has undertaken initiatives that expanded the country’s protected flood-prone zones.

A total of 13,917 flood control projects have been completed as of March.

There is also the National Broadband Program (NBP) that will provide faster, efficient, and equitable broadband connectivity nationwide, including in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

As of March, the overall accomplishment rate of Phase 1 of the NBP is 73.5 percent.

As mandated by Republic Act 10929 or the Free Internet Access in Public Places Act, signed by the President Duterte in 2017, the Free Wi-Fi for All program established 7,977 operational Wi-Fi sites in public areas nationwide.

Ports

Ports were improved and modernized, along with access roads, to provide reliable inter-island shipping and connectivity under water transport.

To improve the country’s air connectivity, the capacities of existing airports were improved and new airports were built.

A total of 579 commercial and social tourism ports were completed and 248 airport projects were completed as of March.

To ensure that all rail projects will be interconnected both physically and operationally, rail networks were expanded by developing new lines and efforts were made.
