Pacquiao vows to prioritize Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridge project

Presidential aspirant Senator Manny Pacquiao pledged to prioritize the construction of the bridges linking the islands of Panay, Guimaras and Negros if he wins the upcoming elections.

Pacquiao stated that the bridge project will be realized as part of his commitment to continue President Duterte's "Build, Build, Build" program.

He emphasized that infrastructure development is crucial for economic growth not just in Iloilo but for the entire country.

The Chinese government, which had previously pledged to finance the first phase of the bridges, backed out.

Pacquiao has joined other presidential candidates in supporting the realization of the Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges.
