Philippines’ Project of the Century: Metro Manila Subway Update 2024

#philippines #infrastructure
The idea of a Metro Manila subway was first proposed in 1973. Fast forward 45 years, construction finally began in January 2019. This 35-kilometer line, connecting Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City to Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City, will cut travel time to just 40 minutes and accommodate up to 1.5 million passengers daily.
The project, part of the Duterte Administration’s Build, Build, Build program, had its groundbreaking ceremony in Valenzuela City in February 2019. Phase one is expected to be completed by 2025, with the entire project finishing by July 2027.
The Metro Manila Subway features disaster-resilient strategies and is financed through a Japan International Cooperation Agency loan. Upon completion, it will significantly reduce travel time, cut traffic congestion, and revolutionize transportation in Metro Manila.
