Metro Manila Subway Project will Give Nearly 60,000 Job Opportunity
Thousands of job opportunities are expected to be created and given to jobless people at the start of the Metro Manila Subway Project.
Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade has announced this good news in the face of the large number of workers who lost their jobs due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
According to Tugade, the project will provide 9,000 slots for direct hiring and up to 50,000 for indirect employment. The secretary will ensure that the partial operability of the subway project is ‘on track’ by the end of 2021.

Although construction activities were delayed due to the pandemic, they are now chasing the target. Based on the report of RMN, the full operation of the first underground mass transport system in the Philippines called the “Project of the Century” will be in 2024 or 2025.
When the project is completed, the flight from Valenzuela to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 will only take up to 45 minutes. The first subway and other railway projects are part of the government’s infrastructure development, said President Duterte earlier.
Meanwhile, the Philippine government plans to spend ₱ 106.3 billion for the modernization of the railway network. This aims to improve the transportation and mobility of people and products.
