“Our new timeline is 2029. Full operations iyon. Our challenges, of course, was (were) COVID – the effect of pandemic, and based sa unang approval with NEDA, initially only 13 states. Nadagdagan. Naging 17,” ayon kay DOTr Assistant Secretary for Railways Jorjette Aquino sa press conference.

“Within the Marcos admin, probably we will be able to see ‘yung completion niya, but the operations itself will start [by the end of] 2029,” dagdag pa nito.
