San Miguel takes step closer to Pasig River Expressway

MANILA - San Miguel Corp moved a step closer to building a tollway along the Pasig River as it signed an agreement on the project with government officials on Tuesday.

The Department of Transportation said San Miguel president and CEO Ramon Ang signed the Supplemental Toll Operations Agreement for the Pasig River Expressway . “Today we signed an agreement with the government to start building the country's first green, hybrid highway and the future of urban transport- the Pasig River Expressway,” Ang said on his official Facebook page.

PAREX will be a 19.4-kilometer, six-lane elevated expressway along the banks of Metro Manila’s biggest river. The DOTr said Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade and Ang were joined by officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways, Toll Regulatory Board, and other agencies. San Miguel said the new tollway will also accommodate a bus rapid transit system, bicycles, pedestrians, and water ferries.

More trains and more trains like our progressive Asean neighbors.

This is a Big NO! Just develop the ferry system Instead. This will have a negative impact on the environment and the history and culture represented by the buildings along the river.

May environmental study ba ito?

Hmmm how will this be like? Hope riverbanks will also be developed similar to what Iloilo did.
