“We have to do a lot better if we want to catch up with our neighbors.” Last Friday, President Ferdinand Marcos. BBM inaugurated the five additional LRT 1
Last Friday, President Ferdinand Marcos. BBM inaugurated the five additional LRT 1 stations in Sucat, Paranaque, which was a bit of good news in the wake of the six successive typhoons that devastated the country. First proposed during the term of former President Joseph Estrada, the five stations cover a distance of a little over seven kilometers with two more kilometers remaining to complete the entire LRT 1 extension project.
We are very good at starting a lot of things but sooner or later, almost every country in the region will overtake us. Let us take the matter of railway projects. Our neighbors are now talking about high-speed trains while we are still trying to upgrade what remains of our PNR that was originally built in 1890 and was the first in Southeast Asia. Indonesia now has a high speed train with Vietnam about to follow.
Let us look at some mentioned projects like the TPLEX extension from Rosario, La Union for another eighty kilometers and the Southern Luzon Freeway extension project that will go all the way to Matnog, Sorsogon. From what we are reading and hearing, the completion of these two projects will be well into the next administration if ever. We are not even talking about extending the NLEX to the Cagayan Valley or a railway extension to Region 2.
