Marcos says gov't looking for solutions for projects left unfinished by APECO

BALER - President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. said Friday that the government is looking for solutions on the P800 million projects left unfinished by the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO). 

During the distribution of presidential assistance to fisherfolks, farmers, and their families, Marcos said the decision to rebid the contracts was made in order to finish the projects and programs at the soonest possible time. 

''Isa ring hinahanapan natin ng solusyon ay ang mga inabandonang proyekto ng APECO na nagkakahalaga ng halos walong daang milyong piso. Sadyang napakalaking kasayangan ang nangyari po rito na sana ay ngayon ay pinapakinabangan na ng mga mamamayan ng Aurora,'' Marcos said. 

''Kasalukuyang [inaaksyunan na po ito ng] ating APECO president at CEO na si Gil Taway IV at napagdesisyonan na na itigil at i-rebid [na] ang mga kontrata upang tuluyan nang matapos ang mga proyekto sa lalong madaling panahon,'' he added. 

A pioneering green economic zone, APECO was established to promote economic growth and development along the Pacific Northeast seaboard. 

Its mission is to create a thriving business environment that harmonizes with the natural beauty and resources of the region.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
