Opening of NSCR, MM subway unlikely within Marcos' term
The Philippine Star
|February 24, 2025
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) may no longer complete big-ticket railways under the Marcos administration, as it is faced with a legal opinion that could hamper the acquisition of right of way (ROW).
Sources within the DOTr said it would be challenging for the Marcos administration to attain its goal of opening the P873.6-billion North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) and P488.5-billion Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) within its term.
Currently, the DOTr has stopped procuring ROW for both projects after receiving a DOJ opinion favoring Republic Act (RA) 10752, or the ROW Act, over financing agreements.
Sources said the best that the Marcos administration can partially operate by 2028 is a portion of the Malolos-Clark Railway Project, which is a segment of the NSCR.
