First Look: Cebu’s 30BILLION PESO Bridge! (Cebu Cordova Link Expressway)

This bridge is scheduled to open in a month but we get the very first look at this massive bridge right before it opens! Get up close and personal with Cebu's 30 Billion peso CCLEX bridge! It's an awesome feat of engineering that took into account how it may impact the environment around it. Plus, it was mostly built with Filipino workers! Super stoked about this one!

soooo proud!!! we are getting more and more competent. can't wait to see more bridges like that all over our country

[@lionhearted1969]

@Abby Cacho....Not a chance in a foreseeable future while we continue to have a corrupt government. Cebu and Cordova are only able to have this CCLEX built because of their own effort by seeking partnership with private investor. Cebu has been clamoring for 2 more bridges in addition to the 2 existing bridges but the national government continued to ignore Cebu and continued to focus on Metro Manila region and select provinces around Metro Manila area. When MPIC submitted its unsolicited proposal to both Cebu City and Cordova councils in August 2014, the latter two readily and thoroughly studied it and, in no time, unanimously approved it after a year. By August 2015, the two councils formally placed the unsolicited proposal of MPIC to a Swiss Challenge for 6 months to allow other interested investors to submit their own proposals as counteroffer to MPIC. Having none, the two councils awarded the project to MPIC and by January 2016, they broke ground. CCLEX is done fast because it's a local PPP project. All the planned projects for Cebu as promised by Villar and Tugade in 2017 were never started. For 6 years, Duterte has no major projects in Cebu and failed the Cebuanos big time.

All Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects that encompasses many local government jurisdictions like the Luzon expressways & CCLEX needs the approval of the NEDA & the President.

@Redmond Alib You just have a malicious mind. A PPP approved by the NEDA & the President should be included in the program of infrastructure of an administration to be permitted to be constructed. Aquino didn't include it so it was not constructed. But CCLEX was included in the program of Duterte so, as we now see, it was constructed. It just so happened that the infra program of Duterte had a name & it was called "Build Build Build". Ergo, CCLEX was constructed because it became part of the program for infrastructure of the Duterte government which was called "Build Build Build"

@@misss.7863 yes, indeed it is under the PPP JVA scheme, meaning both gov't and private sector owns the project, along the responsibilities... I think what's making the fuss online is that there are some who thought that CCLEX is part of the highlighted infrastructures in 3B when it isn't... but there was no part in the video at all where he discredited the government naman... the claim, "this is a private owned project" is still valid although by understanding how PPP works, people should already be aware that the government also owns this, it's just that the private sector is the major shareholder at this point in time... of course, this video is a feature type, just like other vids uploaded in his channel, so kay MPTC naka highlight yung contributions, particularly sa technical and engineering works and consultation...

​@@abriaviguetero1111 while the way he stated his claim is half-truth/disingenuous as it is formally called, it isn't equal to the expression of untruth, i.e. lying... slater did not lie because indeed it is partly owned by private and by public sector, nor did he explicitly say that the government has no part in it, regardless of audience reception and assumption... both are equally deceptive but not equal to each other... lying and disingenuity may be forms of deception, but not all forms of deception are lies/disingenuity nor is it considered totally false

[@kemekopikat]

which is why I believe this is a challenge for people in this field to feature certain projects and their nature as simple and as whole as possible because the general public is really a wide variety that sometimes ina-assume na ng person in that field na alam na ng public ito yung mga dapat common knowledge kumbaga in eng'g sense, for example... besides hindi naman ito documentary, like I said in a separate comment, it's a feature although it isn't perfect in all sense but who knows baka may follow up naman ito soon...

Ang nakakatawa sa issue na ito ay mga educated pa mandin kuno na Cebuano ang maingay sa issue na to. Eh mga ignorante pala, ni di alam kung ano ibig sabihin ng PPP at BBB. BBB simply means the program of infrastructures of the President. BBB is financed in 3 ways: 1) ODA, 2) PPP, 3) Grants in Aid. The main ignorance in Cebu is that only ODA projects are included in BBB. BBB includes all the ODA, PPP & Grants projects. PPP is just a method of financing public infra, it will be paid by the people in terms of toll & ODA is paid by taxes.

The topography of Cebu is like Hong Kong because they are both mountainous. The only difference is that the Island in front of Cebu City, which is Mactan Island, is all flat lands unlike Hong Kong, they are mountainous.

[@geminivega2219]

there's actually a little Hong Kong city in the Philippines located in Mindanao Called the Pagadian City

[@geminivega2219]

@Love Pagadian is called the “Little Hong Kong of the South” because of its rolling terrain, reminiscent of the former Crown colony. Shops and restaurants also litter the city, said Co.

WOW! At least Cebu is having a expressway already since it is considered as the most traffic city in the Philippines. For how many year of hoping that Cebu will be having a expressway, there is now 1 gonna open but there is actually another expressway underconstruct called "Metro Cebu Expressway". Kudos MPTC and Duterte Admin for building this bridge! Thank you too Slater Young for showcasing this expressway! Actually the name is kinda confusing since there is another expressway called CLLEX that connect Tarlac to Cabanatuan and San Jose and the name is kinda similar to this CLLEX and CCLEX hehehe.

Thanks for pointing out that this is not a government project as a lot of people, especially Cebuanos, were misinformed.

[@lionhearted1969]

That's correct. Many Cebuanos who were scammed by Duterte in 2016 really believed that CCLEX is a national government project. They don't know that Duterte has no major project in Cebu since 2016. That's why it's very important that big social media influencers or vloggers/influencers like Slater, would, at least, make a video to correct these misinformation about CCLEX. Even the Nustar Resort, the New Carbon Public Market redevelopment, among others, were reportedly credited to Duterte.

[@leonavida7954]

Then who approved it. Private company invest depend on government performance. Lahat naman ng ginagawa ng government is not from them it from the people taxes. Pero ang tanong who approved it? Its still the government.

The main ignorance in Cebu is that only ODA projects are included in BBB. BBB includes all the ODA, PPP & Grants projects. PPP is just a method of financing public infra, it will be paid by the people in terms of toll & ODA is paid by taxes.

CCLEX is the first PPP Expressway in Cebu so the Cebuanos are not familiar with it & sinamantala ang ignorance nila ng political provocateurs. In Luzon, all the expressways were financed PPP but we already know all of them require the APPROVAL of the SITTING PRESIDENT. If the incumbent President doesn't agree with it, he can disapprove it (even stop it if it has already began construction like what Aquino did in the Philrail train to Bicol) & not include it in the list of public infra that is allowed to be constructed. Duterte is the reason why CCLEX was built because he included it in his BBB program

[@lionhearted1969]

@@leonavida7954 Of course, the local government councils of Cebu City and Cordova and their respective mayors. Didn't I say over and over again that CCLEX is PURE LOCAL PPP PROJECT and it didn't need the approval from the national government? CCLEX is a joint venture of Cebu City and Cordova in partnership with MPIC. CCLEX only went through the councils and mayor of Cebu City and Cordova for approval because it's a local project. CCLEX IS THE FIRST LOCAL PPP PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES.

there was a crucial detail that wasn't included on this VLOG to avoid misinformation For the record - public private partnerships operate under a concession agreement - a contract that gives a company the right to operate a specific business within a government’s jurisdiction. Once the duration of the concession has ended - control (including operations and maintenance) of the infrastructure reverts back to the State. Are PPP’s privately owned? NO.
