Sen. JV Ejercito inspected the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Valenzuela Depot and Metro Manila Subway project site on Thursday with Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez, JICA and Japanese Embassy representatives, and project contractors.
Ejercito said he wanted to personally check the progress of the major railway projects ahead of the Senate budget deliberations.
He also stressed the need to keep funding on track to prevent further delays and ensure the projects are completed as soon as possible.
The NSCR is expected to begin partial operations from Valenzuela to Malolos by December 2027, with full operations targeted by 2033.
The Metro Manila Subway is scheduled for completion by the third quarter of 2031, with operations expected to begin in 2032.
