The Philippines' first Metro Manila subway
Disclaimer: image from asia.nikkei.com
Boy, that will be really a first and badly needed. Fast.
An agreement with Japan to build the very first Metro Manila subway is in the works with the Duterte administration to help the Manila congestion. This 25.3 km line will be from Quezon City in the north to Taguig City in the east.
This project have an estimated cost of $4.6 billion which will come as an economic assistance from Japan. As for this deal, it is expected to be finalised in the coming Asean meeting in November.

Manilla already has light rail and heavy rail for many years. This particular project has been on again off again for quite some time.

Whatever they're called are confusing..but your link is very educational thank you.
Naku, tita! We're the first country to have a train in Asia. Our line opened in 1891. But look at Japan. Now, they have a bullet train. What happened to us? I really hope that President Duterte's project will be implemented already and not be blocked by some greedy politicians. From what I've heard, Japan even offered to help fix and fortify our roads but some officials refused because it's costly. They prefer to annually fix the road for the annual budget release. It's saddening.
We wait. President Duterte won't let those a-holes stop #dutertenomics. Mag-post ka ng mga bago jan sa Pinas as hinahadlangan si PRRD.
Okay po tita. Soon.
