Status of Duterte admin's flagship infra projects funded through China ODA

Requested from NEDA by M. Cepeda at 09:42 AM on Jan 08, 2024.

Cepeda 09:42 AM, Jan 08, 2024 

Good day.

I am Mara Cepeda, Philippines Correspondent for Singapore's The Straits Times.

We are currently working on an article looking into the status of flagship infrastructure projects of the previous Duterte administration that were or are set to be funded through China ODA. 

The latest available list of flagship infrastructure projects of the Duterte government that is readily available in the NEDA website is the 2021 list. May I thus request for the status of these infra projects? Will they continue to be funded through China ODA?

Thank you.

Hello,

I understand the need for more time to accommodate my request. But the story is set to be published on Feb 24 and we're hoping to get the information within the next two weeks to give us enough time to incorporate the responses into the article. 

Is there a way to somehow expedite my request? We want the article to contain the most updated information from the Philippine government. 

Thank you so much.
