Govt pours P100-B projects for Mindanao

THE Aquino government will have poured at least P100 billion worth of infrastructure projects in the vote-rich region of Mindanao by 2016 as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is determined to finish an ambitious project that will connect the entire region.

This was disclosed on Wednesday by Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson who briefed President Benigno Aquino 3rd and other government and private sector officials on the status of ongoing projects in the province of Misamis Occidental, which will benefit from the Mindanao Logistics Network Program (MLNP) that was broached in recent years.
