The government has many ongoing projects under the Build Build Build program that aims to eventually ease commuting in Metro Manila, according to Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go.

Reacting to government critics’ accusation that there is a transportation crisis in the metropolis, the senator said Friday the Skyway is being expanded while a New Clark City (NCC) is being developed in Capas, Tarlac.

“Napakahirap i-solve ang traffic ng Manila, kaya po, panahon na siguro na magkaroon na tayo ng bagong siyudad, labas tayo ng Metro Manila, sa Clark,” said Go referring to the NCC.

“Ngayon may New Clark City. Siguro sa Batangas, kahit sa Davao din po gumawa tayo ng bagong siyudad. Doon na lang po natin ilagay para malalapad pa po ang mga kalye. Eh dito (Metro Manila) wala na pong lugar, no space for expansion dito,” he said.

Go added that the new airport to be constructed in Bulacan will help decongest Metro Manila.

“So kung may airport doon made-decongest na po not only the air traffic. Pati ‘yung mga pasahero na pupunta dito sa NAIA, pupunta na sa Bulacan,” said Go.
