The P7.3-billion Panguil Bay Bridge is 97-percent complete and expected to be open to traffic before the end of September this year, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways .
The 3.17-kilometer bridge, the longest in Mindanao, will connect Tangub City in Misamis Occidental and Tubod in Lanao del Norte, Northern Mindanao. The current two-and-a-half-hour journey, which relies on roll-on/roll-off vessels, will be cut down to just seven minutes by land once the bridge is operational.
The completion of the cable-stayed suspension bridge is expected to spur economic development and improve the quality of life for residents in both provinces. The project implemented by DPWH UPMO Roads Management Cluster II is financed through a loan agreement between the Philippine government and the Republic of Korea, facilitated by the Korea Export-Import Bank under the Economic Development Cooperation Fund Loan.Infinix unveils the XPAD: Its first-ever AI-powered tablet for work, play, and everything in-between
