The Department of Transportation asked the Philippine National Railways to award different rail projects early next year to meet its target to build more rail networks nationwide.
Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said he wanted PNR to help realize the government’s target to expand the rail networks from the current 77 kilometers to 1,900 kilometers of rails.
“We have to start before the end of the year or by January,” Tugade said.
Among the rail projects in the pipeline are the PNR North (Manila – Clark), PNR South (Manila – Los Baños – Bicol), Mindanao Railway Project and Subic-Clark Cargo Railway.
The DOTr expects to complete the PNR North or Manila-Clark Railway project which is funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency by 2020.
The PNR South Commuter Project is a 72-kilometer mass transportation railway from Manila to Los Banos, Laguna. The National Economic Development Authority board earlier approved phase 1 of Mindanao Railway Project, a 102-kilometer alignment in Mindanao.
