Online Casinos in the Philippines PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. directed the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, to ensure the timely completion of the Airport to New Clark City Access Road (ANAR) in Mabalacat City.The project is expected to boost tourism and investments in Pampanga.Together with national and local government officials, Marcos inspected the ANAR at the Sacobia Bridge located within the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone (CFEZ), Pampanga.ANAR, which connects Clark International Airport to New Clark City, reducing the travel time from one hour down to 20 minutes, is a vital component in the government's strategy to elevate Clark's status on the global investment map.The 19.81-kilometer highway will remain toll free, according to Marcos.“This road is much more than just an access road. It is part of our plan to propel Clark as an alternate growth area. It is a red carpet rolled out to those who will partake in all the best things that Clark can offer. It shows the path forward, of Building Better More so we will never lose our competitive advantage because unlocking the full potential of Clark is a continuing task,” Marcos said.“Project such as this all convey one message to prospective investors. It conveys the message that we are committed to building world class infrastructure that can host businesses in a high-growth area. That the government is ready to provide adequate infrastructure and facilities to ensure the growth of their future investment,” he added.As of February 14, the ANAR is 95.21 percent accomplished, with the remaining carriageway, or six-lane runway already fully completed while all remaining works are expected to be completed by June 24.Marcos highlighted a rail link to Metro Manila from Clark as among the key initiatives aimed at enhancing connectivity and facilitating economic activities in the region, as he noted the city’s potential to host various economic activities, including innovation labs, creative workshops, manufacturing concerns, leisure complexes, and cyber corridor, among others.“In short, the Clark metropolis has what it takes to be a mecca for tourists, a magnet of investments, and a market of goods and services. We must leverage these attributes into higher visitor traffic, attracting more investments that generate better jobs and spur economic activity,” he said. (TPM/SunStar Philippines)

But Daluz said he receives around P40,000 per month, excluding benefits and allowances, for attending four board meetings. Meanwhile, Feliciano said they have been conducting board meetings outside the MCWD headquarters in Cebu City so as not to cause unnecessary conflict.On Jan. 31, 2024, Bonachita and Ortiz filed a criminal case against ousted Daluz, Pato and Seno for usurpation of authority or official functions after they refused to step down from their positions.Feliciano told SunStar Cebu that they are praying for the Office of the Cebu City Prosecutor to side with them. As for the legitimacy of his appointment, Feliciano said Rama’s appointing power and the “power to remove” have already been ruled valid by the Regional Trial Court and supported by a previous LWUA decision.He said they are waiting for the LWUA’s affirmation and reply to their earlier request regarding their appointment.Better and more efficientFeliciano said they are focusing on formulating policies to improve the water district’s efficiency in providing better service to its consumers and the management structure.They are reviewing all bulk water supply proposals and agreements entered into by their predecessors. This includes reassessing the water district’s assets and resources, particularly the possibility of additional water sources. Feliciano said the old MCWD BOD ventured into sourcing water from desalination plants that convert brackish and salty water into potable freshwater, which is expensive. He said this will be detrimental to consumers, as their monthly water bill will abruptly increase due to the cost of the desalinated water. Online Casinos in the Philippines .
