As the country pursues a better and more efficient mode of transportation by developing road and transportation projects such as the LRT Extension, the Philippine government recently proposed a new railway that will travel from the busy cities of Metro Manila going to the serene provinces of the South. Fortunately, The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has a loan agreement of up to $4.3 billion to assist in the financing of the building of a modern suburban railway line between Metro Manila and the Philippines’ Calamba City.

The South Commuter Railway Project, which is part of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) network, is the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) largest infrastructure funding in Asia and the Pacific region to date. Once completed, the South Commuter Railway will provide commuters with quick public and easy transportation from the cities of the National Capital Region such as Makati City to the Southern provinces of Luzon like San Pedro and Sta. Rosa. Aside from this, the newly approved mode of transportation aims to reduce traffic congestion and contribute to the Philippines’ climate change goal by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As stated by the Vice President of ADB East Pacific, The South Commuter Railway is part of the Asia Development Bank’s initiative to invest in infrastructures as a reflection and commitment to helping the country reduce poverty while attaining a high and resilient economic growth to improve the lives of the Filipino people.
South Commuter Railway follows the Asian Development Bank’s financing of the Malolos–Clark Railway line, which is now under construction north of the city. The project is said to be nearly 55 kilometers (KM) running from Metro Manila to Calamba City. Other details are soon to be released.
The significance of having developments and infrastructures near your home
To make living more comfortable and convenient, infrastructure such as facilities, equipment, systems, and other structures are made to create processes that will improve the lives of each individual in a society. It is also an essential factor that will determine the residential development of a certain location.
In addition, international and local goals depend on the existence of infrastructure. The economy requires an efficient and reliable infrastructure that will link supply chains and actuate the transportation of goods and services across different regions and areas. It also connects households from the southern and northern provinces to the National Capital Region and vice versa for each region to receive better quality of education, healthcare, and other opportunities. Thus, infrastructure determines the lifestyle of a certain residential location.
Other developments such as universities, hospitals, lifestyle malls, and business parks are also necessary for a certain area to advance and prosper. These facilities will initiate economic progress and develop a better quality of life.
