00:00 For those who will travel from Calamba to Lucena,
00:02 because the PNR's return to the route is almost two years after the maintenance,
00:10 this is the first of Bian Manalo.
00:12 The Philippine National Railways or PNR will return to the route today,
00:19 which traveled from Calamba, Laguna to Lucena, Quezon and vice versa.
00:23 It is important to remember that the trip was temporarily suspended in 2022 due to the maintenance activity.
00:31 I think it's October 30 or 31.
00:34 The road was flooded.
00:36 So we lost a rope there.
00:38 That's why the trip was stopped.
00:40 We have ropes that were damaged.
00:43 So we repaired it first.
00:45 So we were able to return there.
00:47 This is the PNR's one-way train that travels from here to Calamba, Laguna
00:53 to Lucena and Lucena back to Calamba, Laguna.
00:58 The train is fully air-conditioned and can accommodate more than 100 passengers.
01:04 The PNR plans to add more trains and trips.
01:09 As we migrate our train sets from the Metro Manila,
01:12 we will also increase our trips and services to Laguna, Quezon and Bicol.
01:22 We want to offer two or three loops throughout the day.
01:29 So we will increase from two to four or six trips.
01:33 And then later on, we will connect it.
01:36 Meanwhile, the PNR temporarily suspended the trip to Tutuban, Alabang for five years.
01:45 This is also because of the maintenance activity of the management.
01:49 Because of this, the PNR's leadership was able to coordinate with the LTFRB
01:54 to avoid the affected commuters.
01:57 The bus augmentation of the PNR is in coordination with the LTFRB ma'am.
02:04 Initially, on the special permit issued by the LTFRB,
02:10 the HM Transport was issued with the number of authorized units initially is 25 units of bus.
02:21 These buses will serve our affected passengers here in the route Tutuban and Alabang.
02:32 The service of this transport became smooth for our affected passengers here in Tutuban, Alabang and vice versa.
02:44 The PNR assured the continuous distribution of quality services for passengers.
02:51 Lately, in the past years, we are strengthening the conditions of our tracks and bridges.
02:58 For now, we will strengthen it because it is not included in the NSCR.
