Infrastructure Projects Of Duterte Admin In Sulu, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi Not Reported By Media
It’s already five months since President Rodrigo Duterte
stepped in Malacañang Palace and his name has always been in the headlines,
often in a negative light.
On the other hand, many of his supporters maintained that
the President has been true to his promise of change and has done a lot since. One
of these improvements is infrastructure developments in Basilan, Sulu and
Tawi-tawi.
The Department of Public Works and Highways - Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao (DPWH-ARMM) started different projects in the said
provinces, but were left unfinished.
However, in line with President Duterte’s ultimatum to hasten the constructions, more improvements took place.

More than 35 bridges were added, 45 ports are now in
operation and projects like shore protection, drainages, flood control and
water systems have been taken care of.
The infrastructure projects were estimated to be worth of
P10-billion and were initiated by the previous administration under President
Aquino, but President Duterte aims to finish the projects as soon as possible
to avoid long-term delays.
In addition, many supporters noted how mainstream media
failed to cover these stories which speak highly of President Duterte’s
commitment to change.
Read the Full Statement:
The most advanced
drone technology hovering over most isolated and most dangerous areas of the
Philippines - but also most beautiful and enchanting places you may never see
in your lifetime - unless you watch these videos.
Fly over Abu Sayaf,
MNLF, MILF and ISIS terrorist havens and realise that it’s not like Syria or
Iraq or Afghanistan - it’s like paradise islands.
Roads that scale up
planes and mountains, bridges that connects islands, ports that welcome
tourists and make trading goods easier – this is Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
(BaSulTa) seen from above.
Watch in this video,
massive infrastructure projects implemented by the Department of Public Works
and Highways of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao’s (ARMM) island
provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
With focus given on
infra support for tourism, trade, agriculture, and industries, BaSulTa is
changing landscapes. Image of conflict is now over turned as roads are now laid
to provide access to breathtaking nature carved waterfalls, pristine white sand
beaches and lush mountains.
Infrastructure to
support farm to market connectivity and access to once isolated barangays and
municipalities in ARMM, are what the 250 kilometers of road implemented in
BaSulTa afford its constituency.
Aside from roads, more
than 35 bridges were built, 45 ports are now in use and other numerous projects
including shore protection, drainages, flood control and water systems have been
put in place over the past five years.
Since 2012, more than
10 billion worth of infrastructure projects have been implemented in the three
island provinces.
These infrastructure
projects meant to improve the lives of every Bangasamoro in the ARMM, which was
once a dream hard fought hard in the battles. These projects attest to the
aspirations of every Bangsamoro – a legacy every Bangsamoro ought to preserve,
support and celebrate.
