Bullet train the Ph looms
By Nidz Godino
"We recognize the fact efficient transportation system will have multiplier effect on employment and on economy…beyond improving our transportation system, implementation of civil works for CP NS-01 will also generate thousands of jobs for Filipinos during construction," President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in speech implementation of North-South Commuter Railway Extension Project is expected to create thousands of jobs for Filipinos. He expressed gratitude to Japanese government for its support to country's infrastructure development. FMJ made remark during signing of contract package of electromechanical systems and track works for North-South Commuter Railway System (NSCRS) at Malacañang.
CP NS-01 includes procurement of railway infrastructure projects for Malolos-Clark Railway Project and North-South Railway Project-South Line (Commuter), collectively known as North-South Commuter Railway Extension Project. Contract package includes railway tracks, turnouts, track sleepers, power supply and distribution systems, signaling systems, automated fare collection, computerized management maintenance and platform screen doors, among other essentials for railway safety and operations.
Signees of contract include Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista and Mitsubishi Corp. executive vice president Koji Ota. Also present at the event were Speaker Martin Romualdez, French Ambassador Michèle Boccoz, Economic Minister of Embassy of Japan Nihei Daisuke and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Chief Representative Takema Sakamoto.
NSCRS is 147.26-kilometer railway project to connect Clark, Pampanga and Calamba City in Laguna. It is composed of original NSCR Project, Malolos-Clark Railway Project and North-South Railway Project-South Line Commuter, also known as South Commuter Railway Project.
Once completed, NSCR will significantly reduce travel time between Clark International Airport and Calamba City from four to two hours.
It is projected to accommodate 800,000 passengers daily.
NSCR has total project cost of P873.62 billion and will be co-financed by JICA and Asian Development Bank.
FMJ said railway project would also strengthen country's supply chain.
The President thanked Japanese government for financial support in implementation of CP NS-01 and for being active partners in country's infrastructure development.
"We are glad to have you with us as we continue to strengthen our relations built on mutual confidence and cooperation, relationship that has gone on for many decades and I can say without fear of contradiction that development of Philippines, especially in terms of infrastructure, has shown Japan has taken very important part in that," he said.
FMJ said Japan serves as key inspiration for Philippines for having an efficient rail transport system.
"I was joking Mr. Sakamoto earlier and I said, now that we have this, maybe next one is Shinkansen or bullet trains already, we can have it in the Philippines, so I thank Mitsubishi Corporation for working with Philippine government on Contract Package NS-01," the Chief Executive said.
FMJ also expressed hope Department of Transportation and Mitsubishi Corp. would be able to finish contract package by 2028, end of his six-year term.
