Philippines government will oversee a big push in infrastructure projects among which are a subway system in Metro Manila and a railway system in Mindanao. 

 

Big-ticket infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, mass urban and subway systems are among key priorities meant to address severe traffic congestion in urban areas, inadequate mass transport facilities, air pollution and lack of healthy, green liveable community spaces.
