Roque vows LRT for Cebu Province
CEBU, Philippines — UniTeam senatorial candidate Harry Roque said Cebu must have its own Light Rail Transit (LRT) to facilitate easy travel and address the worsening traffic situation in the province.
Roque said the province needs a railway system that would connect northern and southern Cebu.
“Iimplement natin ‘yung mga infrastructure projects para maibsan narin ang lumalalang problema sa traffic,” Roque said in a statement.
“Kinakailangan ng mass transportation sa Cebu, kinakailangan nang ituloy ang LRT dito. Sa tingin ko, it’s the trains that we need. Makakatulong ito sa mga Cebuanos na makaiwas sa traffic at mapadali ang transportation system nila,” he added.
Aside from the railway system, Roque also assured Cebuanos that they would have potable water.
“Lulutasin natin ang malaking problema sa Cebu which is lack of potable water. Malaking problema po ito ng Cebu. Kagaya po ng isinusulong natin na right to water at food bill, bibigyan po natin ng sapat na potable water ang probinsya,” Roque said.
Roque, who has been pushing for clean and potable water for every Filipino, said he will work hard to make potable water for all Filipinos a reality by 2028.
“Isusulong din po natin ang right to water bill gaya ng pitong taon na ibinibigay natin para matigil ang kagutuman, pitong taon din natin para magkaroon ng ligtas at malinis na tubig na pang-inom para sa lahat ng Pilipino,” the former Presidential spokesperson further said.
Roque, a former human rights lawyer, was in Cebu recently joining the Uniteam grand rally headed by its presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. and his runningmate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte. — FPL (FREEMAN)
