The Philippine government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) are working on the next tranches of financing for the Metro Manila Subway project.

The Philippine government and JICA have so far signed two tranches of loan agreements—the first tranche amounting to ¥104.53 billion, or P47.58 billion, was signed in March 2018, while the second tranche, amounting to ¥253.31 billion, or P112.87 billion, was inked in February 2022.

"It will be determined during discussions between the two governments. It will depend on the progress of the funds and the construction," Kuronuma said. Sakamoto added that the signing of the next tranches of loan agreements for the project "depends on the speed of the progress of the civil works on the ground."The bulk of the project will be funded by JICA, accounting for 75.9% or P370.77 billion. The Philippines will finance the remaining 24.1% or P117.71 billion.
