President Duterte To Personally Supervise Constructions Of Hospitals, Highways In Jolo And Basilan
To ensure the speedy construction of hospitals and highways
in Mindanao, President Rodrigo Duterte has directed the Armed Forces of the
Philippines to take the lead in the projects.
In a speech Thursday, December 9, President Duterte said he
would personally supervise the constructions of infrastructures in Jolo and
Basilan.
The projects will be spearheaded by the Office of the
President and handled by the military.
“At ako mismo ang magtingin doon, the hospitals and all.
Otherwise, walang dadating doon,” he said.
“Ako na mismo ang mag-supervise. Ibigay ko sa engineering
battalion. You go down Sabah. Construction of the roads there. Mga engineering
brigades there. So may makuha po ako diyan kabutihan,” the President added.
President Duterte said he is not casting any aspersion
against anybody, but it’s the reality.
“It’s either he does not extend help, withhold the money or
help and do it,” he said.
President Duterte had several times declared he will order
the building of military hospitals, and improved the highways in
conflict-ridden areas in Southern Philippines.
He added that he wanted easy medical access for soldiers
injured in battles. Infrastructure projects will also hasten development in the
area.
