The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said a total of 1,313 region-specific infrastructure projects worth P157.44 billion included in the Three-Year Rolling Infrastructure Plan (TRIP) 2018-2020 will be rolled out in the next three years in the five regions that have the highest poverty rates.

“This is in line with the country’s National Spatial Strategy in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022. We want to set the country’s direction of future growth to one that strongly involves the regions and maximize this connectivity of sustainable urban and rural communities,” Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said in a statement on Tuesday.
