President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Wednesday directed the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to address concerns about the funding and implementation of the Samal Island-Davao City Connector (SIDC) project, according to the Inquirer.

The SIDC is a major infrastructure project meant to link Davao City with Samal Island. The Inquirer's report did not specify which funding or implementation issues the President raised, what steps the DPWH is expected to take, or whether a deadline was set.
