Duterte admin pushes 'Build, Build, Build' despite pandemic

The Duterte government is continuing to push its 'Build, Build, Build' infrastructure program despite the ongoing pandemic.

Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez claims that infrastructure spending remains the best driver of economic growth due to its employment and prosperity benefits.

Despite the pandemic, construction works are gradually resuming with the Inter-Agency Task Force greenlighting private and public construction projects.

The government plans to proceed with 13 big-ticket transport projects.
