Malacañang has given fresh assurances that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will complete the Bicol railway as part of his commitment to finish “all ongoing rail projects,” saying the transport undertaking will serve as the backbone of the “Bicol-Waray-Southern Tagalog” economic axis, a leader of the House of Representatives said.
“The Bicol Railway will change the game for our industries in the Pacific Seaboard. It will also be the closest thing to connecting the Speaker’s home region to Luzon via rail,” Salceda said. Salceda also affirmed Marcos’s statement that “rail is the cheapest way to transport cargo and passengers.” “The issue is just that financing negotiations are still ongoing, so it was much better to emphasize during the SONA projects that can already be undertaken with ready funding.”
