Cebu is getting a major facelift and physical upgrade as it gets preferential attention and funding amounting to 458 billion pesos of infrastructure projects in the next 5 years. A strategic component of Dutertenomics for the central Philippine island that is now undergoing unprecedented growth.
Dutertenomics is the blueprint of the current administration designed to jump start the economy by pumping funds in much needed infrastructure of the country. It is committed to spend between 5% to 7% of its GDP to new roads, bridges and airports. With the slogan, Build, build, build, it is aimed to catapult the country to the 21st century to make it competitive in the global market.
While construction for the iconic third Cebu-Mactan bridge or CCLEX is yet to start next month, plans for the 4th bridge is already underway together with the much ambitious Cebu- Negros linkage.
Also included in the master plan is Metro Cebu bypass expressway which when finished will reduce travel time from Danao city to Carcar city to just 85 minutes.
