President Marcos made the vow during the distribution of land titles, support services, and financial assistance to farmers and fisherfolk at the Fuerte CamSur Sports Complex, Pili, Camarines Sur on Friday.

The special occasion was attended by thousands of Bicolanos eager to receive government assistance.

Among the infrastructure projects identified by the President are the Camarines Sur Expressway, Pasacao-Balatan Tourism Coastal Road and the New Naga Airport Development Project. They are all expected to provide better transportation system and improve the economy in Bicol.
