c) Accelerating Infrastructure Development

The Region implements various programs and projects to attain
accelerated and strategic infrastructure development. These include
projects in transportation, flood control, water resources, power and
energy, social welfare, and information and communication
technology. The Region is pushing for the study and implementation
of inter-regional connectivity transport projects with Northern Luzon,
Central Luzon, National Capital Region, MIMAROPA, and Bicol
Region. Transport projects include railways, highways, bridges,
airports and water transport systems.

Completion of these infrastructure facilities will help boost industry,
tourism, agricultural productivity, power/electrification, and mobility
of people, goods and services and generate investments. However,
infrastructure development is hindered by right-of-way acquisition,
and obstructions along major roads.
