MMDA – The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) received a new ferry boat for its Pasig River Ferry Service operations.

The chair also plans to add more routes to the ferry service that will link the Manila Bay, Pasig River, and Laguna Lake.
Deputy chairman and PRFS head Frisco San Juan, Jr. said that the service is set to reopen three existing ferry stations in Maybunga in Pasig City, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and Lambingan in Manila
Based on the report, construction is also underway for three more ferry stations in Quinta Market, Manila; Circuit Makati; and Kalawaan in Pasig City..
