Metro Manila Subway Project Receives Initial Funds from JICA

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Philippines has received the initial P51 Billion from JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) to start building the subway project from Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City to NAIA.

JICA is a governmental agency that coordinates official development assistance (ODA) for the government of Japan.

The Metro Manila Subway, originally named Mega Manila Subway, is an underground rapid transit line to be built initially in Metro Manila in the Philippines. Construction is projected to finish by the second quarter of 2027.

This is cool! But do not let it easily get dilapidated and problematic due to poor or no maintenance.....just like what is happening to the MRT.

Since it's underground, I think an additional challenge would be the sewerage system. How would they keep it clean since when it rains, all the flood waters would go directly to the low-lying areas. This will definitely be harder to maintained compared to the MRT/LRT.
