The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has started the construction of the Foundations of the Panguil Bay Bridge which will connect the Provinces of Misamis Occidental and Lanao del Norte in Mindanao.
The Bridge’s cost of Php 7.4 billion is funded by a Loan from South Korea and it is scheduled to be completed by December 2023.

The Duterte Administration officially just opened the Bonifacio Global City (BGC)-Ortigas Link Bridge (also known as the Santa Monica-Lawton Bridge and Kalayaan Bridge), and as usual the Dilawans are very busy insisting that this Project should supposedly be credited to Benigno Aquino III (also known as PNoy or AbNoy Panot) and NOT to President Rodrigo Duterte since AbNoy “started it”.
The truth is that the AbNoy Administration did plan this Bridge back in 2014, but at the same time the plan then was to finish it by 2016. An Article by The Philippine Star News Publication back in January 2014 said construction was to start in July 2014 and the Bridge completed by June 2016.

The Contract for the Detailed Engineering Design (DED) work worth Php 3 billion for the 32 km long Bridge connecting Bataan to Cavite over Manila Bay has been signed and the work will be completed by January 2022.
The Design Work is expensive because of the nature of the Bridge, at 32 km long it will be the longest Bridge in the Philippines and within the Top 20 Longest Bridges in the World as of this writing.
