The Department of Transportation is optimistic that Japan will consider Sumitomo Corp. in the role of maintenance provider of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT3) as part of the terms of assistance for the rehabilitation of the mass rail system.
“We expect Japan to consider strongly Sumitomo because of the technical continuity aspect,” Transportation Assistant Secretary Timothy John Batan said in a press conference in Quezon City.
The Philippines is currently in talks with the Government of Japan which has expressed its intent to provide assistance in the rehabilitation of MRT3.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) said last week the Japanese government has sent a note verbale to the Philippines, bringing negotiations one step closer to fruition.
The Philippines issued a diplomatic note to the Japanese government on December 28.
