The Build! Build! Build! (BBB) Program is the centerpiece program of the Duterte administration that aims to usher the “Golden age of infrastructure” in the Philippines. Lack of infrastructure has long been cited as the “Achilles’ heel” of Philippine economic development. The BBB Program seeks to accelerate public infrastructure expenditure from an average of 2.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) during the Aquino regime to about 7.3 percent at the end of the Duterte administration. This will cost around P8 trillion to P9 trillion from 2016 to 2022 to address the huge infrastructure backlog in the country.

The Philippines will receive the biggest single day delivery of vaccines by far today, June 10, with the arrival of one million doses of Sinovac vaccines earlier this morning and the expected arrival of more than 2.2 million doses of the Pfizer vaccines. Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made this announcement in a press briefing today, where he mentioned that today’s delivery is part of the 11 million vaccine doses that are expected to be delivered this month of June. “Sisiguraduhin natin na ang ating mga lokal na pamahalaan ay magkakaroon ng mga bakuna,” said Secretary Roque. This is in response to reports that some local government units have run out of vaccines and that some vaccination centers have stopped operating. The Palace official added, “Tiniyak ng ating Vaccine Czar Secretary Carlito Galvez na magkakaroon ng steady supply ng bakuna at bibigyang prayoridad ng ating vaccine deployment ang mga lugar na most vulnerable sa COVID-19 surges, alinsunod sa direktiba ng ating Presidente.”
