Lamentillo presents a thorough examination of major infrastructure projects, including Skyway, NLEX Connector, Metro Manila Subway, Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge across all 18 regions of the country. In the book, she lays out key information about the Philippines' Infrastructure Program, offering invaluable insights into the EDSA Decongestion Program,[9] Luzon Spine Expressway Project,[10] the Mega Bridge Masterplan, the Metro Manila Logistics Network,[11] and the Mindanao Road Development Network.[12]
