President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. highlighted on Thursday the government infrastructure projects designed to uplift the lives of residents in Davao as he recognized the huge developments in the region.

In his speech during the distribution of assistance to farmers, fisherfolk, and families in Tagum City, President Marcos said the administration is working double time to ensure residents will benefit from those projects.

“Tunay nga pong malaki [na] ang [pinagbago] ng Tagum mula noong huli kong pagbisita dito noong panahon pa noong kampanya. Naging memorable po sa akin ang Unity Caravan na iyon sapagkat napakainit po ang binigay ninyong salubong para sa amin. Kaya't maraming, maraming salamat po,” President Marcos said.

“Kasing-init at kasing-sigasig ng ating kasalukuyang administrasyon sa pagsisikap na ipagpatuloy ang nasimulan at tiyakin na [makikinabang] ang mga mamamayan sa ating mga programa at  ating mga proyekto,” he added.

Some of the projects are the Mawab-Maragusan-Caraga Road, Carmen-Tagum City Coastal Road, Tagum City Bypass Road and Mindanao Railway Project Phase. The projects are nearing completion and are expected to fast track development in the area once finished.
