Govt revives Clark rail project

The Transportation Department proposed to build a railway system connecting Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City and Clark International Airport in Pampanga.

Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade told reporters the planned rail system would use the right of way of Philippine National Railways. “It [rail] would come from Naia or Trinoma [in Quezon City] to Clark,” Tugade said.

Tugade said the department would finalize the proposal for submission to the National Economic and Development Authority within 90 days. The proposed rail system aims to promote Clark International Airport as an alternative international gateway to Naia which is now congested.

A similar project was proposed under the Arroyo administration but was shelved by the Aquino administration.

Japan International Cooperation Agency said Naia was expected to exceed its maximum handling capacity this year, when the airport would handle 37.78 million passengers.  Its maximum handling capacity stands at 35 million passengers a year.

Tugade also said the agency planned to ask airlines to transfer their turbo-props operations to Clark as part of the government program to decongest the NAIA. The meeting with the airline operators is scheduled Thursday.

Tugade said general aviation at Naia would be removed to increase the capacity of the terminal “When I remove general aviation, you will have an additional space between 18 percent and 21 percent.  Already, this weekend,  I was pleased to get an open letter from chairman Lucio Tan saying he is openly endorsing the removal of general aviation and that he will also remove all his jet and helicopters there to show his commitment. Same is true with Lance Gokongwei,” Tugade said.

He said general aviation would be transferred to Sangley Point in Cavite.

Meanwhile, the Duterte administration also proposed to build a cable car to address traffic congestion at Edsa.  “I’m not thinking this for a replacement for train. Hopefully I can make this concept approved by end of the year and implement it by mid next year,” Tugade said.

Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno said the government needed at least 10 years of continuous buildup of roads, bridges and railways to fully achieve the so-called “golden age” of infrastructure.

“I think, my forecast is 10 years of continuous buildup. We are really severely handicapped by infra,” Diokno said at the sidelines of a Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines forum in Makati City.

Diokno said infrastructure projects would be built simultaneously nationwide and not sequentially as practiced. Diokono said in Metro Manila, there be another three or four lines to supplement the existing LRT Line 1, LRT 2 and MRT 7.

“For too long, public infrastructure has been neglected. As a result, the Philippine economy is deficient in all types of infrastructure—roads and bridges, ports and airports, railways and urban transit systems, irrigation systems and water systems. To address this, we will hike infrastructure spending from a low 5 percent to a high of 7 percent of GDP,” Diokno said. With Julito G. Rada

Groundbreaking of LRT-MRT Common Station Expected by September

The groundbreaking of the common station linking the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) is expected by September this year.

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade told reporters on the sidelines of the progress briefing and inspection of the Build, Build, Build (BBB) projects Thursday as he appealed for support of the initiative.

“The riding public wants to have the common station be built. The leadership of the Congress supports this project as well. This common station will be made possible through the cooperation and support of everyone,” the transportation secretary said.

Expected to be completed by April 2019, the 13,700 square meter common station will connect LRT Line 1 (LRT-1), Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3), and the MRT-7 from North Avenue, Quezon City to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

It is a joint project of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Department of Transportation (DOTr), SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPH), Universal LRT Corporation (BVI) Limited of the San Miguel Corporation (SMC), Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), North Triangle Depot Commercial Corporation (NTDCC), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA).

A memorandum of agreement was signed last January by the government, Metro Pacific Investments Corp. Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, SM Prime Holdings, Inc. Director Hans T. Sy, Ayala Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jaime Zobel de Ayala, and San Miguel Corp. (SMC) President and CEO Ramon S. Ang which indicated that that the common station will be located in the middle of the original 2009 site in front of The Annex at SM City North EDSA and the 2013 location near Ayala’s TriNoma mall in Quezon City, ending a deadlock spanning nearly eight years.

It was supposed to be a compromise for an earlier agreement with SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPHI) which did not materialize and the project has been in a legal entanglement ever since, resulting led to the arrest and detention of former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo from a controversy after a Pasay court issued a warrant of arrest against her, following the filing of a complaint for electoral sabotage by the Commission on Elections and She was transferred to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City on December 9, 2011, the impeachment trial, conviction and removal of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona on May 31, 2012 and his death on April 29 due to complications of a heart attack and suffered from kidney disease and diabetes last year and outgoing plunder trial case of former senators Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon Revilla, Jr. and the arrest warrant against Senator Leila de Lima for allegedly violating the drug trafficking law.

The government will shell out PHP 2.8 billion for the construction of the common station’s Area A -- where the platform and entrance for LRT-1 and MRT-3 will be located.
The PHP2.8 billion will be financed and built by the DoTr, while the operation, maintenance, and development will be split between Light Rail Manila Corp. for LRT-1 and DoTr for MRT-3.
Henry Sy-led SM and Ayala Land’s TriNoma will have naming rights for the common station.
