MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation will spend as much as P20 billion for its next brainchild project – a passenger ferry passing through Manila Bay, Pasig River and Laguna de Bay.
“We are thinking of mobilizing P15 billion to P20 billion to put into a mega project. We are also thinking of an all-electric ferry fleet, with multiple stations,” he said. He said MAPALLA can serve as one of the main modes of transport in Metro Manila and Southern Tagalog, seeing potential in the project for daily use of workers.
