CEBU CITY, Cebu, April 26 (PIA) -- President Rodrigo Roa Duterte will visit Cebu for the second time this year on April 27 to attend two important events. 

 
President Duterte will join the 501st anniversary of the Victory of Mactan and closing ceremony of the 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines in Lapu-Lapu City.
 
The commemoration marks the triumph of the warriors of the island under chieftain Lapulapu over the Spanish conquerors led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
 
On the same day, President Duterte will be the guest of honor during the ceremonial inauguration of the 8.9-kilometer Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) or the Third Bridge connecting mainland of Cebu and Mactan Island.

It can be recalled that Pres. Duterte was present during the groundbreaking of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project on March 17, 2017 in Cordova town.

CCLEX is envisioned not only to help decongest traffic in Metro Cebu but also spur economic development and improve the lives of the people in the area.

Work on the CCLEX started on July 5, 2018, with ceremonies marking the beginning of civil works.

It is Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation’s first toll road project outside Luzon.

CCLEX has a design speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour (kph) and a navigational clearance or height of 52 meters to allow large vessels to pass underneath the bridge. (HFG/PIA7 with reports from CCLEX)
