A LAWMAKER has asked the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to “work, work, work” on the Metro Manila Subway Project, now that Japan has provided the country financial support for the Build, Build, Build program of the Duterte administration. Nograles said that a key portion of the financial package is the P47 billion to be used for the first phase of the Metro Manila Subway Project, one of the flagships of the “Build, Build, Build” program. “Now that we have the funding to jumpstart the Metro Manila Subway Project, all that we have to focus on doing is work, work, work,” Nograles said. He warned if DOTr will not step up and the program is backlogged, Duterte’s plan of finishing his term as the “Golden Age of Infrastructure” may not be feasible. The Mindanao Railway Project Phase 1, the Malolos-Clark Railway Project (PNR North 2), the Clark International Airport Expansion Project and the new LRT Line 1 North Extension Project are among the transportation projects approved under Build, Build, Build program.
