The elevated expressway is part of the supplemental toll operation agreement among the Republic of the Philippines, through Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), Citra, and the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) in relation to the business and joint venture agreement covering the project. “At the government side, we are fast-tracking all projects—that will be the trademark of the Duterte administration, all infrastructure projects will be moving at a fast pace,” he said. The project, estimated to cost P62.4 billion, is called the NLEx-Cavitex Port Expressway Link. Mainly traversing the Manila Bay area, it is envisioned to link North Luzon Expressway and the Cavite Expressway, both controlled by Metro Pacific, via a 15-kilometer, four-lane toll road. The proposal was made by Metro Pacific unit Manila North Tollways Corp. It was recently submitted to Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar, according to the department’s public-private partnership (PPP) service. ...

However, Monreal said that he didn’t want NAIA’s problems identified with the new administration of President Duterte, so he has recommended that the airport name be changed temporarily to that of the previous president. “After all, these problems started or became worse during the past administration,” he said. “Once NAIA is taken off the list of the world’s worst airports, the permanent name change (back) to Manila International Airport can be implemented,” the airport chief said. Newly-appointed Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) General Manager Ed Monreal told reporters today that he will recommend to President Rod Duterte to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to NoyNoy Aquino International Airport — at least temporarily. Reading RA 6639, one can't find a valid reason why the country's main airport should be named after Ninoy Aquino, Jr., who was a former senator and convicted in 1977 by a military court of subversion and murder. Thus, N...

"I'm just going to take a little rest from basketball for awhile," Helterbrand said. "Kind of miss basketball and then come back later on." Looking back at his 17-year career, the Ginebra guard only had fond memories. "I've had a great career, I have no regrets whatsoever," he said. "I think this is the perfect time for me to hang it up, and on my own terms. I don't want to retire from basketball because of injuries." The 41-year-old guard played his entire PBA career with Barangay Ginebra, ever since coming into the league in 2000 as a direct hire. With Ginebra, Helterbrand formed a celebrated backcourt partnership with Caguioa, who are fondly referred to by fans as "the Fast and the Furious." "This is one of the most special ones for me because it’ll probably be my last as a player," Helterbrand said, referring to Ginebra's championship-clinching Game 7 victory. Seated beside longtime backcourt ...

The  Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike  is a proposed expressway in the  Philippines  that will start from the coastal area of  Laguna de Bay  from  Taguig  in  Metro Manila  to  Calamba  and  Los Baños  in  Laguna . The project will involve the construction of a 47-kilometre-long (29 mi), six-lane dike including bridges, pumping stations and ancillary flood gates. “This newly opened highway is part of a road network that we are building to ease congestion in this particular area and provide a barrier that would prevent back flow of water coming from the Laguna de Bay going to industrial and residential areas in Metro Manila,” said Mark Villar, DPWH Secretary.

North Korea's continued threats have put its neighbors in the Pacific on high alert. In September, Pyongyang flew a ballistic missile over Japan. When North Korea it carried out its sixth nuclear test, it claimed to have detonated a hydrogen bomb that could fit atop a ballistic missile. North Korea carried out the strongest of its six-ever nuclear tests in early September, claiming to have used a hydrogen bomb. The official, Ri Yong Pil, told CNN in an exclusive conversation in Pyongyang that the threat made by North Korea's foreign minister last month should not be dismissed. North Korea "has always brought its words into action," Ri said, visibly angry. The threat came hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea in a speech to the UN The thing with nuclear tests is that they aren’t harmless. Currently, scientists are concerned that the numerous nuclear tests inside Mount Mantap could end up having long-term ...

“If my duty fall short of the expectations of the people or would have a different view of how things would be run, I’ll accept it. I can go to prison even. What I’m afraid of is the wrath [of] God. It’s always God that counts,” President Rodrigo Duterte said. “My God says that I have to do something because God says that you were elected to really serve the people. And if I go down, I will go down. If I go up, I go up. I place myself in this. Whether I go up or I go down, I will do the things which I have to do because it is my work,” he added. “You know God, if it’s really 10,000 and they are dead, why don’t you ask them? They are here already in hell. And you’ll get the true answer. And you say, ‘Why are you dead? What’s wrong with you? For what?’” he said. “Tell me now, what is my sanctuary in the face of all this onslaught against the people? Do I kill innocent people? What will I get? You think God will like it? I will ask you,” he said in Malacañang. Earlier this we...

President Rodrigo Duterte has told the United States and the European Union to "go ahead" and withdraw financial aid to the Philippines if they're unhappy with his bloody anti-drug war.  "Go away, bring your money to somewhere else. We will survive as a nation,"  Duterte said in a speech to police officers  on Thursday in the southern city of Butuan.  President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines threatened on Thursday to expel the ambassadors representing the European Union, suggesting that he would give them 24 hours to leave his country.

Certain politicians, such as US Senator Patrick Leahy, suggested cutting off aid to the Philippines in September, but Duterte maintains that foreigners simply do not ...
