A Cabinet-level government body has approved restructuring the ongoing Samal Island–Davao City Connector project, and approval for the revised plan is now being sought from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported.

The connector project, which is already under way, links Samal Island to Davao City. The Inquirer's report, by Bong S. Sarmiento and John Michael Lacson, did not specify in the available excerpt which body approved the changes or what the restructuring involves.

Details on the revised scope, cost or timeline of the project were not included in the source material available to DavaoNews. DavaoNews will update this story as more information becomes available.

Why it matters for Davao

The connector is a major infrastructure link between Davao City and Samal Island, so any restructuring could affect the project going forward for commuters, residents and businesses on both sides.
