The Government of the Philippines has urged the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to support Senate Bill No. 2, also known as the Masterplan for Infrastructure and National Development (MIND) Act. The bill aims to institutionalize a 30-year Comprehensive Infrastructure Development Masterplan (CIDMP), outlining the Philippines’ long-term vision, goals, and strategies for infrastructure projects.
The proposed masterplan would cover large-scale, multi-administration projects such as railways, dams, and skyways, with the goal of ensuring consistent implementation and reducing the risk of anomalies.
As a longtime advocate for transportation and infrastructure, the bill seeks to elevate the Philippines’ infrastructure to meet current and future demands, laying the foundation for inclusive economic growth and supporting the country’s broader development objectives.
