00:00 Despite the negligence of some commuters in the temporary suspension of the PNR's trip,
00:05 its leadership is positive and confident that the North-South Commuter Railway Project will be completed in 2028.
00:13 That's what Bien Manalo has reported.
00:15 Freddie Mortel is now used to riding the Philippine National Railways or PNR.
00:23 From the truth, this is what brings him to Makati where he works.
00:29 That's why he is saddened by the news that the PNR's trip will be suspended temporarily from Tutuban to Alabang.
00:37 For me, it's really hard.
00:40 The continuous operation is still hard for people.
00:44 They wake up early to ride the PNR.
00:49 Especially if it's closed, what will happen to the people?
00:54 It will be harder.
00:55 It's a big thing because if you commute by jeep, it will take a long time.
01:03 While if you have a PNR, it's fast.
01:05 You're comfortable even if you're in an air-conditioned room.
01:08 But he's sadder because he will have to wait for almost five years before he can ride the train again.
01:16 It will be more expensive. I will have to commute by jeep.
01:22 While in the PNR, if you ride by jeep, it will take a long time.
01:29 So they should hurry if they will do something.
01:31 Despite this, the PNR is confident that the North-South Commuter Railway Project will be completed in 2028.
01:40 They raised P873.62 billion pesos for this.
01:46 According to the PNR, 25,000 to 30,000 commuters are affected by the continuous operation every day.
01:54 It is expected that 800 passengers will ride the train hours after the construction.
02:01 Meanwhile, the PNR has already agreed to the LTFRB
02:06 to avoid passengers who will be affected by the continuous operation of the Tutuban-Alabanga trip
02:12 because of the maintenance activity.
02:15 The bus augmentation of the PNR is in coordination with the LTFRB ma'am.
02:22 Initially, on the special permit issued by the LTFRB,
02:28 the HM Transport was issued.
02:33 The number of authorized units initially is 25 units of bus.
02:39 These buses will serve our affected passengers on the Tutuban-Apto-Alabang route.
02:49 The transportation of our affected passengers on the Tutuban-Apto-Alabang route became smooth and smooth.
03:02 Lately, we are strengthening the conditions of our tracks and bridges.
03:09 We will strengthen it because it is not included in the NSCR.
03:16 The PNR temporarily stopped the operation last month
03:21 to allow the construction of the NSCR project in Metro Manila.
