Aksyon Demokratiko presidential bet Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso said he will build bridges to connect the country’s major economic and tourism centers.
During a visit to the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway on Saturday, Domagoso said he will support the construction of similar infrastructure in other parts of the country.
“We have to create more public transport, ‘yang mga MRT na nakukuha ng Metro Manila, LRT, more public transport in an efficient way.”
“Sometimes, kailangan mo talaga ng leader yung nakikita what’s behind the wall. Ordinary people will see the wall. But leaders will find a way to create a bridge to cross that wall and this is the testament of it,” he said.
“Someday, somehow, we’ll duplicate this. Maraming pwedeng i-connect na isla. And that will generate more economic movement in those particular provinces,” he added.
The 47-year-old mayor said the next administration should invest in the development of the country’s provinces, especially in the construction of efficient public transportation systems.
“I hope some of you will agree with me. Someday, we will invest more in the provinces because in Metro Manila, if we spend one piso in Metro Manila, wala siya masyadong epekto sa Metro Manila,” Domagoso said.
“We have to create more public transport, ‘yang mga MRT na nakukuha ng Metro Manila, LRT, more public transport in an efficient way,” he added.
Citing his plans to outdo the country’s current infrastructure boom, Domagoso asked the country’s foreign partners for their full support should he be elected President.
“To our foreign partners, you will be very busy in the next administration,” he said.
