Good day!

I am Viktor Cabuenas, business reporter for GMA News Online. We are currently doing a story on the government's Build, Build, Build program.

In relation to this, I would like to request for the total assistance (grants and loans) that China has so far provided to the Philippines to finance the massive infrastructure spending program.

If it would be possible, I would also like to get information on the assistance given by other countries to the Philippines for the BBB.

I look forward to your favorable response.
