PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. reiterated his administration’s commitment to infrastructure upgrades, including the 38-kilometer railway line connecting Malolos to Manila.
In his speech at the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas here, President Marcos said the railway line connecting Malolos, Bulacan, to Valenzuela City, which will be completed in five years, is expected to ease travel and improve public transport in Central Luzon and Metro Manila.
“Sa usapang imprastraktura naman, itinatatag natin ang North-South Commuter Railway–North 1,” the President said, referring to the ongoing construction of a 38-kilometer railway line connecting Malolos, Bulacan to Tutuban in Manila.
“Sa kasalukuyan, mahigit 72 porsyento na ang nagagawa. At asahan po ninyo matatapos ito siguro mga apat na taon pa – pero matatapos po ito para maging mas maginhawa ang pagbiyahe ninyo sa inyong mga trabaho at ‘pag pupunta ng Maynila,” President Marcos said.
The President reported that the San Ildefonso–San Miguel Bypass Road in Bulacan, part of the Plaridel Bypass extension, is 77.23 percent complete and set to be completed by December 2025.
“Sa tulong ng mga repormang ito, mababawasan ang oras ng biyahe ng mga Pilipino at mas marami na kayong mailalaang panahon para sa inyong sarili at para sa inyong mga pamilya,” President Marcos added.
Emphasizing the practical impact of infrastructure improvements on Filipino families, the President assured the public that these are just a few of the many infrastructure projects being constructed and rehabilitated across the country.
The President reiterated his call for unity, urging Filipinos to set aside personal interests for the common good.
