(Davao City, September 3, 2026). The Joint Infrastructure Development Committee (IDC) – Regional Project Monitoring Committee (RPMC) XI approved the RPMC XI 3rd Quarter 2026 Project Inspection Report during its Joint 3rd Quarter Regular Meeting on September 3, 2026.
The RPMC XI Monitoring Team reported continued progress in several of Davao Region’s flagship transport and logistics infrastructure projects following the RPMC XI 3rd Quarter 2026 Project Inspection Activity conducted on July 21-23, 2026. The activity assessed the implementation status of priority projects aimed at improving the Region’s urban mobility, road connectivity, as well as, airport and seaport operations.
Among the projects monitored was the Davao Public Transport Modernization Project which aims to establish a modern, efficient, and environmentally sustainable public transport system for Davao City. As of June 30, 2026, the project posted an overall weighted physical accomplishment of 7.53 percent.
Meanwhile, the Expansion of the Passenger Terminal Building at Davao International Airport registered 38.17 percent physical accomplishment. The ongoing expansion is expected to increase passenger handling capacity and improve airport facilities, further reinforcing Davao Region’s role as a major gateway in Mindanao.
The monitoring team also visited the Davao Sasa Port, where operations continue under the Port Terminal Management Regulatory Framework following the turnover of port operations to Globalport Davao Terminal, Inc. The initiative remains a strategic intervention aimed at improving cargo handling efficiency, increasing port productivity, and strengthening the region’s maritime logistics capabilities.
During the meeting, the IDC-RPMC XI also endorsed the proposed Construction of the Quimpo Flyover in Davao City. The proposed project has an indicative cost of PHP 2.4 Billion and is designed to complement the existing six-lane roadway and help alleviate traffic congestion, improve traffic flow, and support increasing transport demand in one of Davao City’s major urban corridors.
The Body likewise endorsed the Infrastructure Sector Component of the FY 2028 Annual Investment Program for Davao Region. The sector has programmed a total of 1,058 programs, activities, and projects (PAPs) with an aggregate investment target of PHP 190.58 billion for FY 2028. These investments are aligned with the region’s development priorities and are expected to contribute to the achievement of 55 infrastructure-related indicators monitored by the RDC XI.
The IDC-RPMC XI emphasized that the sustained implementation of major transport and infrastructure projects, coupled with strategic investment programming, remains essential in advancing Davao Region’s long-term goal of becoming an internationally competitive logistics hub in Mindanao.
