Excerpt

The Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) said three reclamation projects have a good chance of resuming this year when the suspension on reclamation projects is lifted, including fisheries-related projects in Bacoor and Navotas and a logistics project that forms a part of the Bulacan airport development. “The Bacoor project is only 90 hectares, but it will have a big impact since it addresses food security… I think (it may resume) within this quarter or next quarter,” PRA Assistant General Manager for Reclamation and Regulation Joseph John M. Literal said in a briefing. Mr. Literal is referring to the Bacoor Inner Island Project. The second is the 15.62-hectare reclamation works at the Navotas Fish Port Complex, while the third is the 650-hectare air support facility for Bulacan Airport.
