Poorest regions take in P157-B infrastructure projects

http://www.philstar.com/business/2017/05/03/1696071/poorest-regions-take-p157-b-infrastructure-projects

 

MANILA, Philippines - Thousands of infrastructure projects collectively valued at P157.44 billion will be rolled out in the country’s poorest region under the reinstated Three-Year Rolling Infrastructure Plan (TRIP) for 2018 to 2020, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said yesterday.

 

The region-specific projects totaling 1,313 will be rolled out in the five regions that have the highest poverty rates: the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Caraga (Region XIII), Eastern Visayas (Region VIII), Soccskargen (Region XII) and Northern Mindanao (Region X).

“This is in line with the country’s National Spatial Strategy in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022. We want to set the country’s direction of future growth to one that strongly involves the regions and maximize this connectivity of sustainable urban and rural communities,” said Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and NEDA director general Ernesto Pernia.

Among the five regions, ARMM, which has the highest poverty rate of 48.2 percent, will have 995 projects worth P50.71 billion under the three year programming for infra spending.

The two words that the yellowtards fear the most has been declared in Mindanao: Martial Law. Haha! Good call by Duterte.

Great post..shows your class.

 

Magkakamatayan na its still about your trolling vs the yellow.

[niceNslow.2]

sana lang lahat ng mga may fault and nakinabang sa pera ng bayan ay managot sa batas! napoles and company, abaya and company, abad and company etc... para matakot lahat ng mga tao sa gobyerno! at mawala ang corruption.

He visits the Kremlin, looks at Putin and showcases what he can do with his country from a continent away and requests a loan to fund this war. Loan = a cache of firearms.

 

Whatever strategy he's executing, it was carefully planned. His tactician skills are expert level 1000. Who is not impressed.

Its wasn't Martial Law per se that was the problem in in the past, but rather the abuse of power and human rights violations that came with it. As long as Duterte doesn't do a Marcos and overstep his boundaries then it shouldn't be a problem. Case in point - Arroyo declared Martial Law once during her term without objections.

That's the problem when one generalizes everything by just looking at the surface.

[juan t]

Don't overanalyze what I said. I said that "Martial Law" are two words that yellowtards feared the most. Your yellowtard cheerleader is joining in the fun. Pansinin mo naman.

 

Speaking of alleged abuses, Marcos dismissed a couple of thousand men in uniform for alleged abuses during Martial Law.

 

 

Of course! What a convenient excuse... blame your subordinates then wash yourself of all the atrocities. Why did it take thousands of deaths, rapes and other abuses before these "offenders" were dismissed. Dapat sa umpisa palang itinigil na.

[juan t]

Blame? Did you understand what you highlighted? Pakisulat nga ulit ng nahighlight mo.

 

 

I understand it perfectly. Your implying that Marcos was clean and that it was his men that were the abusers.

 

Im asking, if that was the case, why did it take so long for him to remedy the situation.

Why did thousands have to be victimized before he pretended to take action?

[juan t]

How sure are you it took him that long to remedy the situation? The fact of the matter is Marcos did something about the abuses and that is by disciplining the uniformed men who allegedly committed abuses which you label obtusely as "blaming." If Marcos did not declare Martial Law, what do you think the Philippines would be today?

 

It is easy for you to conveniently blame Marcos but you obviously have no idea how difficult it was to monitor the AFP in an area of 300,000 square miles.

 

 

Its all there in the history books. If you prefer to believe the alternative stories being circulated in social media today, then that is your prerogative.

[alamark]

I'm with Juan T. It is all in the history books. A bit of common sense would also help.

 

Although there have been attempts to "alter" history.

[juan t]

History books? Are you still a high school student? You can't even answer my question what the Philippines would be like if Martial Law was not declared.

NO ONE can answer that question definitively.

[pinpoint015]

james cutter and rooster69ph, nandito pa rin pala kayo at nagtatalo pa rin? Hahahahaha.

 

Anyway, good call on declaring Martial Law. Atleast he's decisive on his actions and doesn't wait for his advisers to "think" of other reactions. And kaya mas napansin tong Martial Law ni Duterte compared dun kay Arroyo is: 1. Mas mabilis nakita ng taumbayan yung mga pinatay compared ngayon, 2. Maguindanao lang ang sakop nung declaration, and not the whole island of Mindanao; and 3. Duterte has always hinted on declaring Martial Law and/or that Marcos is a good president. So yun.

[pinpoint015]

juan t is rooster69ph?

 

Anyway, yes, I agree with Duterte's call on Martial Law. He's nipping the situation in the bud.

 

That I don't know.. Hahaha

 

Those critics don't even suggest a "better" response to the crisis. For me it's just fight fire with fire. Those scumbags don't negotiate, so why think of negotiating, right?

[camiar]

Think about this:

 

Remember the Zamboanga siege? They accused Enrile of funding Nur Misuari and MNLF to terrorize Zamboanga to divert the public attention away from the PDAF investigation vs Enrile et al?

 

Now that Mar Roxas and Pnoy will be investigated by the Senate for DAP and MRT fraud, how far fetched would it be that the LP-Yellows are behind this Maute attack in Marawi?

 

And now there are intelligence reports that the NPA are also planning to launch their own terror attacks in the south. Coincidence?
