MANILA – The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) is updating the list of approved infrastructure projects given the impact of the pandemic and the recent typhoons.
During a virtual briefing Thursday, NEDA Undersecretary Jonathan Uy said they aim to release the new list by the end of this year.
“It would appear that we are now reaching about 100 projects and some additional ones being proposed for this particular update,” he said.
The Duterte administration recently identified about 104 priority projects for its flagship Build, Build, Build program, higher than the 75 projects earlier announced.
