The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has conducted a public forum and
engaged the project stakeholders in Zamboanga City in a bid to further develop
infrastructure projects that will enhance Mindanao’s economic productivity and tourism,
agriculture and trade industries.

DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain met with the concerned parties to properly
coordinate with them on the proposed 300-kilometer new road development project under
“the Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project-Phase 2 funded by
Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Zamboanga Peninsula including provinces of Basilan,
Sulu and Tawi-Tawi, and Davao City.’’

He stressed that the forum was an opportunity for relevant interested parties that included
other government agencies, utility service providers and local government units (LGUs) to
learn more about the upcoming road network projects that will “improve travel and
connectivity in Western Mindanao and in Davao City.’’

“Phase 1 of Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project, a flagship


project of the national government in partnership with ADB covering 151.9-kilometer in

infrastructure development under the “Build Better More” infrastructure agenda of President
Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,’’ the DPWH said.
The meeting was highlighted by discussions and exchange of ideas that allowed the public
to express any concerns about the proposed scope and component while the project is under
