The government will continue to make the country’s transport system more seamless and modernized, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. assured on Friday.

“Our journey towards a more seamless and modernized public transportation system does not end here,” the President said as he led the inauguration of the Light Rail Transit 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension Project Phase 1 in Parañaque City.

“We are committed to building station after station, reaching as far and as fast as our people’s needs dictate,” he added.

Various key railways projects are currently being undertaken by the government.

These included the Unified Grand Central Station, the Metro Manila Subway Project, MRT-7, the North-South Commuter Railway, MRT-4, the Philippine National Railways South Long Haul, among others.

The President recognized that some of the ongoing transport projects may not be completed within his leadership as these long-term endeavors extend beyond administrations.

“This is the nature of railway development and of any large-scale development: this is not a short-term endeavor. It requires patience, persistence, and passion and commitment that extends beyond immediate timelines,” he said

During the event, President Marcos led the unveiling of marker of the Dr. Santos station in Parañaque. He also boarded the train and alighted at the Redemptorist-ASEANA station in Pasay City. | PND
