The projects aim to improve travel comfort and boost economic activity. Notable projects include the New Cebu International Container Port (NCICP) and the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT), both with significant budgets.
PRESIDENT Marcos is banking on five new infrastructure projects in Central Visayas and Northern Mindanao to deliver more comfortable travel and boost economic activity.
“Let us remember: These projects are not just structures, they are representative of every Filipino’s dream of more comfortable travel, better opportunities, and a clearer path towards their goals and dreams,” he added. Meanwhile, the CBRT will establish a network of modern buses connecting key areas in Cebu, making daily commutes faster and more efficient.
Marcos said the expanded airport can support Bohol’s booming tourism industry and provide more jobs in sectors such as hospitality and services.
