12 August 2017 – At the latest Dutertenomics Forum organized jointly by the British Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines and the Presidential Communications Office, and supported by the Makati Business Club and the Management Association of the Philippines, I was impressed by the dynamic president and CEO of the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA), Vince Dizon. In answering a question from the floor about the difference between the current administration and previous administrations in the ability to deliver much needed infrastructure projects, he focused on three words: unity, decision and action.
5 August 2017 – We have been reading and hearing a lot about the Duterte administration’s “build, build, build” infrastructure program. The vision is to give the nation a golden age of infrastructure development that will not only address perennial and worsening traffic congestion, but, more importantly, build a much better transportation and logistics system across the archipelago that will spur more jobs, more trade and more investments. This reminds me of former finance secretary Roberto de Ocampo’s call at one of his Arangkada Forum presentations during the previous administration, when he said that the problem is simply “infrastructure, infrastructure, and infrastructure.”
