MANILA, Philippines- Sinabi ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. nitong Sabado na naglaan ang pamahalaan ng P2.9 bilyon para sa infrastructure projects sa Lapu-Lapu City sa Cebu ngayong 2024.
“The government, for its part, will also continue to invest in its success, which is why in 2024, the DPWH [Department of Public Works and Highways] is funding about 2.9 billion pesos in infrastructure projects here in Lapu-Lapu City alone,” pahayag ni Marcos sa capsule laying ng Mactan Expo Center sa Mactan Newtown.
Saklaw ng nasabing infrastructure projects ang road widening, maging konstruksyon ng Cebu-Mactan 4th Bridge at coastal road.
“These include road widening projects that will help decongest traffic along major thoroughfares such as Mactan Circumferential Road and the Mactan Airport Road,” ayon sa Pangulo.
“The government will also pursue major projects aimed at improving road connectivity and addressing traffic congestion such as the ODA-assisted Cebu-Mactan 4th Bridge and the Lapu-Lapu City Coastal Road,” dagdag niya.
Sa event, inihayag ni Marcos na ang world-class Mactan Expo Center na itinatayo ng Alliance Global Group “will be a source of pride not just for Cebu, but for the entire country.”
“Currently, there has yet to be a standalone convention center in the province and this 1.5-billion peso Mactan Expo Center is truly a first-of-a-kind development here in Cebu,” wika ni Marcos.
