President Marcos said his administration is fast-tracking key infrastructure projects—from internet expansion to dam construction—to bring lasting progress under his "Bagong Pilipinas" vision.

- By ARGYLL CYRUS GEDUCOS

Marcos said this as he led the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas campaign rally in Batangas City on Saturday, May 3.

In his speech, the President said connecting Filipinos to the internet and building critical water infrastructure are central to his push for development that reaches even the country's remotest communities.

"Itong taon na ito, lahat ng mga lugar na hindi makabitan ng internet, makakabitan na (This year, all areas that don't have internet will finally be connected)," he said.
