As the Duterte administration enters its final year, only nine big-ticket projects out of targeted 119 have been completed under its flagship Build, Build, Build infrastructure program.
The list of projects has been revised several times in the past five years, indicating a constant reality check on what an economist calls "overly ambitious" program.
