Build Build Build Program

The Build Build Build program is the Duterte administration's initiative to accelerate infrastructure development in the Philippines. It aims to increase public infrastructure spending from 2.9% to 7.3% of GDP and invest $160-180 billion in projects like airport and port expansion, railways, and roads from 2016-2022 to address the country's infrastructure backlog.

Build Build Build Program

Build! Build! Build! (BBB) Program is the core program of the Duterte administration
that targets to usher the “Golden age of infrastructure” in the Philippines. Lack of infrastructure
has long been quoted as the “Achilles’ heel” of Philippine economic development.
This program seeks to quicken public infrastructure expenditure from an average of 2.9
percent of gross domestic product (GDP) during the Aquino regime to about 7.3 percent at the
end of the Duterte administration. Around P8 trillion to P9 trillion from 2016 to 2022 will be the
cost to address the huge infrastructure backlog in the republic.
The Featured Projects are:

1. Clark International Airport Expansion Phase 1 – Engineering, Procurement, and


Construction
2. New Clark City- Food Processing Terminal and International Food Market
3. Subic-Clark Railway Project
Despite the lockdown and quarantine measures in the past few months due to the COVID-19
pandemic, a number of flagship infrastructure projects were completed. These include:
(1) Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project;
(2) Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway Rosario Exit;
(3) Newly opened four-lane Sorsogon City Coastal Road;
(4) New Clark City [Phase 1A];
(5) Harbor Link;
(6) Sangley Airport;
(7) Broadband project with Facebook [Luzon Bypass Infrastructure];
(8) Bohol-Panglao International Airport;
(9) Laguna Lake Highway;
(10) Cagayan de Oro Port, the country’s biggest passenger terminal port;
(11) TPLEX Rosario;
(12) TPLEX Pozorrubio;
(13) New World-Class Terminal in Mactan-Cebu International Airport;
(14) Lal-lo International Airport;
(15) Puerto Princesa International Airport

Moreover, numerous projects are still pending and are continuously on progress in the
program. To note, the “BBB” program was able to ample around 121 airport projects – 114 are
ongoing and 75 are for procurement; 369 commercial, social, and tourism seaports – 108 are still
in the process of completion; 23,657 kilometers of roads; and 4,959 bridges.

This Build, Build, Build Program will surely benefit Filipinos and address the common
issue that the Filipinos face long time ago – traffic. Through road widening, the overpopulated
cars travelling in the streets will now have ease of passing these avenue. Likewise, many people
will now be able to access to different parts of the country as seaports and airports are now built.
This will attract more tourists and add the country’s income. This Build, build, build program is
the key to address the problems in transportation as of now. Upon further success of the project, I
believe the country can now turn into industrialized country with automated facilities in order to
help decrease the number of cases due to COVID-19.

The city’s plans in terms of Transportation planning are mixed. Some continued the
project, some postponed it to allocate the budget for the COVID-19 response. Both are good
decisions – if the building of the transportation system is continued, people can now have ease of
transportation once everything goes back to normal. On the other hand, if the cases are too high
and there is no more budget to handle the situation, it is better to pause the construction and
allocate the cost since the welfare of the people must come first. It depends on the priority of
LGUs.

Some of the current plans which continued the construction of transportation systems are

1. Clark International Airport New Terminal Building


2. Oriental – Occidental Mindoro Road
3. PNR Clark (Phase 1)
4. Metro Manila Subway
5. Mindanao Railway Project
6. MRT – 7
7. Common Station
8. LRT – 1 Cavite Extension
9. LRT -2 East Extension
10. Airport Projects

All in all, the cities’ plans are to reduce the massive amount of people in a certain place by
expanding the transportation system, to make easier travel. The completion of all these
infrastructure projects, in the long run, would not only to a greater extent, sustain, accelerate, and
achieve the desired economic growth of the country but most importantly, will improve the
Philippines’ global competitiveness.
