Presidential aspirant and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno will continue the Duterte administration’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ legacy should he win the presidency in the 2022 elections.
“Pag meron bagong, tulay, highway, airport, sea port, at MRT, siguradong nandyan ang maraming trabaho at maraming opportunity para mas kumita ang tao. ‘Yan naman ang prayoridad ng aking administrasyon, Buhay at Kabuhayan,” Moreno said on Saturday.
Moreno is currently on his listening tour in Central Visayas to hear their struggles and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Just imagine if we can build a bridge wherein Bohol and Cebu are being connected? The islands of Visayas being connected by bridges, which is not rocket science. It’s a matter of priority by the national government,” Moreno told reporters.
He highlighted the importance of connecting regions to boost economic activities.
“Kapag iyon nangyare at naging sentro ng susunod na administrasyon na pagdikit-dikitin ang Visayas, hindi na lamang Luzon ang ating economic center. Visayas can be an economic center,” he said.

Moreno said that based on their data 60 percent of the country’s economy was from Metro Manila.
He also adds that private partnerships will prosper under his term.
“We need the private sector to invest more in infrastructure and they can build fast and it will save government resources which it can use for social services like health care and education,” said Moreno. (TDT)
