Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez applauded the launch of Pier 88 in Liloan, Cebu, saying the enhanced mobility in the region will generate new business opportunities, bolster economic growth and create jobs for the people.
Romualdez was among the top government officials who accompanied President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in the launch.
“The significance of this project cannot be overstated, as it will create countless opportunities for businesses, create job opportunities, and contribute to the overall development of our community,” Romualdez said.
He also commended the local government of Liloan, the private sector, and the people of the municipality for working together to bring the concept into reality.
“This project would not have been possible without the collaboration and support of our government partners, private investors, and, mostimportantly, the resilience and unwavering support of the people of Liloan,” he said.
The Pier 88 project was a product of the partnership between Liloan and the Topline Group of Companies and Pier 88 Ventures.
“The House of Representatives remains firm in our support for the Build Better More infrastructure program of the Marcos administration that would uplift the lives of our people by enhancing the quality of critical infrastructure in our transport sector, digital connectivity, power and energy, and health-related initiatives,” Romualdez said.
On Monday, the House of Representatives approved on third and final reading a consolidated bill providing for a 30-year national infrastructure program for 2023 up to 2052.
House Bill 8078 or the 30-Year National Infrastructure Program Act focuses on projects of national significance that would serve as the country’s infrastructure backbone.
