“Rehabilitation and improvements of ports in ARMM is one of priority projects,” Macabalang quoted Adiong as saying.
Mohamad said the concreting and rehabilitation of the wharf road network would ensure smooth, efficient and effective movement and delivery of services at the Polloc Port, which has a land area of more than 123 hectares and has the potential to become one of the country's international seaports.
Sinarimbo also said that efficient sea ports operations are imperative in the socioeconomic uplift of the Muslim autonomous region.
ASFP has been implementing vital projects in ARMM that include education, health, infrastructure and other socio-economic concerns. While JICA aims to contribute to the promotion of international cooperation as well as the sound development of Japanese and global economy by supporting the socioeconomic development, recovery or economic stability of developing regions.
