North Rail Project comes to Pampanga
The recent diversion of flight to Clark International Airport underscored the importance of fast express train between Manila and Clark.
Yes there was a Chinese funded North Rail Project under then Pres. GMA. About P20 B has been spent in removing and resettling the rail squatter but when there were policy issue as to whether what was wanted was a commuter train or express train, the project was scuttled. Sayang, after spending P20 billion on the resettlement projects and ROW. (From a former North Rail official in the know)
And now are we serious in getting Japan funded project for North Rail. Sana the political will to get our mass transport system and the air travel improved relocated to Clark (that is a good idea. Sobra traffic sa Manila at congested na MIAA airport) It is time to level up and move Phil a notch up in International Travel. This will also move progress to Region 3.
