PHILIPPINE President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. on Wednesday said his government is working double time to fast-track railway projects as traffic gridlocks in the capital region alone cost billions of pesos in lost opportunities per day.
“Anyone can use trains, that’s why it’s the only solution,” he said in Filipino during a town hall meeting on the country’s traffic problems, noting that the National Government seeks to shift the mode of transportation to rails from buses, jeepneys, and private cars.
