READ: Excerpts from the article, "With transition to Marcos gov’t, DOTr gives rundown of railway projects status" written and published by the ABS-CBN news, 26 May 2022.
"Weeks before the Duterte administration ends, MRT, PNR, LRT administrations gave a list of developments the public can expect and the incoming administration may continue under the Build, Build, Build program."
"Some of them will be delivered before June 30, while some are poised to be continued by the incoming Marcos administration."
WHAT TO EXPECT ON/ BEFORE JUNE 30
"Good news to passengers of MRT-3 – free rides are extended until June 30."
"This aims to continue helping our commuters ease the financial burden dahil sa taas ng ating inflation and rising fuel prices," MRT-3 General Manager Michael Capati said in a virtual press conference Wednesday.
ONGOING RAIL PROJECTS
"According to the DOTr, some of the projects that are still in the works include LRT 2 West Extension, Mindanao Railway Project, MRT 4 and Subic Clark Railway."
"For LRT-2 West Extension … We have already awarded the consultancy contract for this. The design built for the contractor, we have already prepared the designs, the bidding documents are actually ready and we are just working on some internal compliance requirements and documentation with the DBM and we are expecting to publish this within the year for the contractor’s contract package," DOTr Undersecretary for Railways TJ Batan said.
CONTINUITY
"The DOTr hopes that the incoming Marcos administration will continue the projects started by the outgoing president."
"We give deference to the new administration, their projects and program priorities but at least what we will try to do is to transition these projects the best we can… so that the decision can be made by the next administration accordingly," he said."
