President Rodrigo Roa Duterte leads the simultaneous inauguration of eight ( integrated seaport development projects in the provinces of Mindoro and inspection of the Calapan Port Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro on November 18, 2021.
Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade and Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) General Manager Daniel Santiago join the Chief Executive in the inauguration that includes two (2) port projects in the Port of Abra de Ilog in Occidental Mindoro, as well as port projects in the Ports of Calapan, Puerto Galera, Bulalacao, Mansalay, Bansud and Roxas.
Highlighting the simultaneous inauguration is the ongoing expansion of the Port of Calapan’s PTB which can now accommodate 3,500 passengers at any given time. The PPA also completed the port's access road to prevent traffic build-up in the area.
Puerto Galera’s new gateway port, the Port of Balatero, now offers comfortable passenger travel with an expanded PTB and an extended jetty and back-up area. The port’s PTB can now accommodate 500 passengers at any given time as Puerto Galera reopens to tourists.
The improvement of the Port of Bansud’s reinforced concrete (RC) platform, RoRo ramp and RC pier, meanwhile, will bolster the port’s operational capability.
On the other hand, the Port of Bulalacao can now use its maximum capacity and space with a completed and expanded back-up area.
With the expansion of the Port of Mansalay, the port can now accommodate the demands of shipping trade in the area. The seaport plays a major role in the Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) and has been identified as one of the major routes.
Development projects in the Port of Roxas include the expansion of its back-up area, RC platform and RoRo ramp and the installation of a new port lighting system.
Development projects for Occidental Mindoro’s main seaport, the Port of Abra de Ilog, include the construction of its RC pier, RoRo ramp and access trestle, and construction of the port’s new operations building.
The simultaneous inauguration of the seaports paves the way for business and employment opportunities for Filipinos. The upgraded seaports will also improve inter-island travel as well as the movement of essential goods between Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro and neighboring provinces.
The development of the Occidental and Oriental Mindoro ports also round up the 484 seaport projects under the 'Build, Build, Build' Infrastructure program for the country’s economic recovery and growth.
