Marcos Jr. to learn from the lessons of the Duterte administration’s Build, Build, Build program, and ensure a more consumer-friendly and transparent infrastructure program.Non-resident Fellow and De La Salle University Department of Political Science Assistant Professor, urged the Marcos Jr.
“It is very clear that the issues are the same and recurring in these projects. Most glaring is the trademark lack of transparency that strongly suggests irregularities. It has been argued that there is no need for confidentiality if everything is above board,” Santiago argued. In his presentation, University of the Philippines-Virata School of Business Professor Emeritus Dr. Epictetus Patalinghug listed the challenges the previous administration faced that led to the inefficient implementation of the Duterte administration’s Build, Build, Build program. He is also Stratbase ADRi Trustee and Program Convenor.
Patalinghug, however, noted that the institutional problem of departments lacking absorptive capacity cannot be solved within the next six years of the Marcos administration.
