Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the plan, to be formulated by the Philippine government with technical cooperation from JICA, “would certainly enable us to build more than just a thousand kilometers of rails.” “This time, our railway personnel will have to adapt to new technologies and modern equipment. No one else can lead this railway renaissance,” Bautista said.

The Department of Transportation on Thursday said the Japan International Cooperation Agency has committed ¥300 million for the creation of a 30-year railway masterplan for the Philippines' greater capital region.

“This time, our railway personnel will have to adapt to new technologies and modern equipment. No one else can lead this railway renaissance,” Bautista said. "With 150 years experience in rail development, with 30,000 kilometers of rail, with 25 billion riders a year, there are no better senseis than these kind, compassionate, generous, hardworking and honest people,” said Chavez.

The master plan aims to rapidly expand the railway infrastructure network and sustainable urban development, increase rail passenger trips, and double the average distance of all trips within one hour during peak hour by 2055.
