MANILA— President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday honored China and the public works department for the completion of a Beijing-funded bridge that would connect the cities of Mandaluyong and Makati in the capital region.
"This is not my work, this is the work of the people involved directly... the People’s Republic of China, who provided the money, and the workhorse of the DPWH and its dedicated workers, at ‘yong mga taong naghirap dito . Sa kanila ito ang proyekto ," said the President. Duterte said the funding "highlights the goodwill of the Chinese people and its government and further cements the good relations between our two countries"— even amid unresolved maritime disputes between Manila and Beijing.
"It is a testament to the strong commitment of this administration to improve mobility and promote ease of travel among motorists and commuters in Metro Manila and its adjacent communities," he said.
