THE National Government Administrative Center (NGAC) that is being built in New Clark City in Tarlac province can help solve traffic in the National Capital Region and benefit the Philippine economy, Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno said on Tuesday.

Ahead of his weekly “Breakfast with Ben” forum at the site of the P13.6-billion NGAC in Tarlac’s Capas town, Diokno said the superstructure would “decongest Metro Manila.”
