As the gateway to Northern Mindanao, it serves as a vital engine of economic growth—facilitating trade, generating revenue, and supporting countless businesses and livelihoods in the region. As a billionaire port it remains a significant revenue driver for the government coffers through the dedication and commitment of its workforce,” said Zurbito.
