FMJ vows to pursue ‘more ambitious’ projects for Fils

By Nidz Godino

“Let me assure you that the government remains dedicated to maximizing its resources to pursue even more ambitious endeavors that will bring comfort and progress to Filipinos all over the country,” President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. vowed to pursue more ambitious projects, especially in the infrastructure sector, for  Filipinos. President Marcos, who witnessed signing of two contracts related to  Metro Manila Subway Project (CP102)at Malacañang, said  government owes it to  Filipino people to build major roads and critical infrastructure that will not only spur progress and social change, but also promote interconnectivity, ease traffic, and reduce travel time. President Marcos said during his speech at the signing of two contracts for civil works of four stations of  CP102 and 103 (CP103).

The CP102, with  total contract amount of approximately P21 billion, was awarded to the joint venture of Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd. and D.M. Consunji Inc.

CP103, with  total contract amount of approximately P28 billion, was awarded to Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd.

The CP102 involves construction of  Quezon Avenue Station located inside  former Manila Seedling Bank, EDSA corner Quezon Avenue and  East Avenue Station along V. Luna Avenue, including  connecting tunnels.

On the other hand,  CP103 includes  construction of Anonas Station at Barangay Project 4, Quezon City and Camp Aguinaldo Station inside Camp Aguinaldo, including  connecting tunnels. The Anonas subway station will interconnect with  LRT2 Anonas Station.

Marcos expressed gratitude to  Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for providing  financial support for  implementation of Contract Packages 102 and 103. 

“And I thank you not only for this specific project… I thank JICA who have been supporting  development of the Philippines for the last 50 years…and I do not believe especially in terms of infrastructure projects and even in agricultural projects that we would have this far without help of JICA along the way, and it has been instrumental, it has been material, and we have many possible future projects that maybe in the pipeline…and for that, once again, we thank JICA for their assistance and their continuing interest in the Philippines” the President said.

He also thanked  entire government of Japan for partnering with  Philippines in pursuing important infrastructure development project.

“The world recognizes Japan for having very efficient rail transport system, which  Philippines aspires to one day emulate…we thank you for your continued support and I hope to further advance our cooperation in other areas for mutual benefit of our people,” the chief executive said.

Expected to be finished in 2028,  Metro Manila Subway can accommodate more than half million commuters per day and  will lessen  travel time from Quezon City to  Ninoy Aquino International Airport to just 45 minutes.

The Quezon City government has committed to work closely with stakeholders in facilitating  processing of all needed documents for this project such as permits, as well as to provide all manpower resources needed.

“We are positive that when operational,  MMSP will improve  productivity of citizens by minimizing travel time…it will likewise enhance  mental health of people via  reliable and predictable mass transit system, which will give them more quality time for themselves and their families,” Quezon City Mayor Ma. Josefina Belmonte said in her message.

Transportation Undersecretary Cesar Chavez earlier said MMSP would be resilient to earthquakes and floods because it will have the same technology similar to Japan, which frequently experiences earthquakes.

In  separate ceremony at the Palace, First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos was installed as the Chief Girl Scout of the Philippines.

She pledged to help shape  mental, emotional, and social qualities of young women as she was formally conferred  “Chief Girl Scout” title.

“As you know, as First Lady, I have been designated as the Chief Girl Scout…it is  title that I will truly be proud of… not only because of its meaningful history but more so because it will allow me to help our young women cultivate the same values that I learned when I was  Girl Scout in high school,” the First Lady said.
