RE-ELECTIONIST Senator JV “Mr. Healthcare” Ejercito on Friday batted for the development of a “Luzon Growth Triangle” which would stimulate rapid economic boom as well as sustain growth in the region. He said the growth triangle should also include the full development of Clark International Airport, a modern railway system, and vital road networks “to ensure seamless delivery of goods, services, and people.” “I have been very vocal in pushing for the creation of a ‘Luzon Growth Triangle’ composed mainly of Subic, Manila, and Batangas. This will not only bring economic growth in the region, which will benefit the whole country also, but also create jobs for our workers,” he said.

I am running now for my reelecti...
