“Nandiyan po yung tinatawag nating the ‘golden renaissance of Philippine infrastructure yung ‘Build, Build, Build’, at ‘yung matagumpay na giyera laban sa droga,” he added.

Roque said Duterte will also ask Congress to pass his priority bills, such as the establishment of the Philippine Virology Science and Technology Institute and the Philippine Center for Disease Prevention and Control

“Bukod po diyan meron din tayong mga ‘yung pag further liberalize po natin ng ekonomiya atsaka ilang panukalang batas tungkol sa West Philippine Sea,” the spokesperson also said.
