Manila, Jan. 31 -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is prioritizing the completion of the Sto. Cristo Flyover project in Angeles City, Pampanga, which has been delayed for three years.

Secretary Vince Dizon inspected the project on Saturday, and ordered the release of funds for its construction, which is targeted to be completed in June 2027.
