Emphasizing the importance of collective planning in realizing development projects, Poe’s endorsement of the bill underscores a vision of progress and prosperity for Bulacan, aligning it with the trajectory of new opportunities and hope. The Bulacan Airport City Economic Zone stands as a testament to the senator’s commitment to fostering economic development and enhancing the quality of life for Filipinos.
