Saturday started for Moreno with a visit to the 8.9-kilometer expressway that is already near completion and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2022.

Moreno said he was honored to have witnessed the unique venture of the local government units (LGUs) and the private sector, citing that such cooperation would serve as a role model by other LGUs as it bolsters economic growth.

He was accompanied by local officials including Third District Rep. Pablo John Garcia and Cebu City Councilor Joel Garganera.
