A very promising project of President Rodrigo Duterte for the Filipino people wherein the Philippines may soon be included in the list of nations that uses a high-speed mass railway system like Japan, China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

According to Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman Martin Diño at the sidelines of an inquiry by the House transportation committee. He disclosed the first “bullet train system” here in the Philippines would be built between Subic in Zambales and Clark in Pampanga.

A Chinese company will spearhead the construction of the first ever bullet train project through a public-private partnership, Diño said, but he did not mention the name of the Chinese firm.

  1. Check out the Strait Times. Singapore returned the railway car 26 of the 35 they ordered from China because the chassis suffered cracks and they are almost new. Palpak!

  3. I hope we will have the high speed railway by year 2018. I rode those high speed rails when I went on a tour in China and they are simply magnificent! More power, Mr. President! 👍

    • 2018? How would that be possible? You can’t even order trains for 2018. 2025 maybe, if they start with planning now.

  5. Ang kapalit nyan ay yung WPS natin kaya sinusupalpalan ng china ng investment si Duterte para wag na nyang pakialaman ang pag claim ng china sa WPS natin dahil nasa atin ang ruling ng UNCLOS pero inutusan si Duterte na wag ng makialam sa WPS at hayaan na lang i clain yung mga ref at sirain ang ga shoal at whahla kumpleto na ang 9 dash line nila at kawawa ang mga susunod na mga henerasyon na Pilipino at sa libro na lang nila makikita ang pag aari ng pilipinas dahil lang sa EGO ng namuno sa Pinas na imbis ipatupad ang ruling ay pinabayaan na lang sa mga chinese at saka magtatanong ang mga pilipino paano napunta sa mga chekwa ang WPS. Sayang ang mga pinag laban ng ating mga ninuno at milyong dolyar and ginastos na ipaglaban sa Arbitration tapos yan lang pala ang gagawin nya. Nakakalugkot isipin na mga namuno na presidente ng pilipinas ay puro pansariling interes at ego lang at wala syang pakialam kahit mawala ang WPS. Palalaman na lang nya ang ginawa nyang mali kapag nag drill na ang CNOOC jan sa WPS dahil sasabihin ng mga chekwa na sa kanila yan dahil sakop ng 9 dash line daw nila yung ating WPS at yan ang nangyari sa Vietnam na binusog ang mga politiko sa investment at pagkatapos ay inangkin na yung mga isla na sinasabing sa vietnam. Ang kaso baka patapos na yung termino ni duterte pero naipamigay na nya ang WPS imbis na ipatupad ang ruling at idulog sa UN national assembly ang award ng pilipinas eh walang ginagawa kundi batikusin at murahin ang US<UN at EU. Yan ang presidente ng pilipinas hindi pwedeng batikusin at dapat sumunod lang sa kanyang mga gusto kahit ibenta ang WPS. Kawawa naman yung mga mangingisda na matagal ng naghintay yun pala mamamalimos lang sa china na maka pangisda ang mga pilipino sa sarili nilang karagatan. Please God Save the Philippines.
