ZAMBOANGA CITY, Dec 2 (PIA) – President Rodrigo Roa Duterte together with Senator Christopher ‘Bong’ Go personally visit Zamboanga City to inaugurate the 143 Social and Tourism Ports in the country and the Zamboanga City Seaport Development Project.
President Duterte emphasizes to complete all projects before he steps down from the position and he commended the efforts of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) for meeting the expectations and finishing almost all the infrastructure projects in the country.
“I hope that these newly enhanced projects will support not only Zamboanga City but the entire Mindanao. This administration will continue to implement vital infrastructure projects to improve the life of Filipinos and we remain committed to provide sustainable projects for all kababayans even beyond year 2022,” President Duterte added.
The Seaport Development Project is envisioned to provide better accessibility to coastal and island communities in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, particularly in displaced areas due to rasping sea conditions and those that are in straitened circumstances.
Moreover, these aim to provide better port infrastructure to enhance maritime mobility and connectivity, and open doors for economic, tourism and income-generating opportunities.
Mayor Beng Climaco expressed her gratitude to President Duterte for the numerous projects and continuous development in Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi area, “these projects are more than enough for the city and the neighboring islands, all these projects became possible because of our president,” she added.
The series of events also included the visit of President Duterte, who is accompanied by DOTr Sec. Arthur Tugade in Zamboanga International Airport to inspect the development including the Malasakit Hall at the Zamboanga International Airport. (RVC/MLE/PIA9-Zamboanga City)
