Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the 30-year plan to be formulated by the government with technical cooperation from JICA “would certainly enable us to build more than just a thousand kilometers of rails.”

“This masterplan, for example, will transcend five presidencies, and I am sure that it will contain a blueprint so viable, and a vision so compelling that succeeding administrations will have no choice but to follow it,” Chavez said. 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 rush hour by 2055.
