MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Friday inspected the ongoing rehabilitation of the Maharlika Highway in Pinabacdao, Samar, which is projected to cut travel time between Tacloban City and Catbalogan City from three hours to 45 minutes.

The rehabilitation project is scheduled for completion this August and is expected to improve connectivity between the two cities and the entire region.
