An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

PH subway system operational by 2029 โ€“ DOTr

Authorities said the subway system would be able to withstand earthquakes and floods.

"We are incorporating in the Philippine subway this technology. So I believe this subway is intact for earthquake, no problem because (it is) based on Japanese standards," said Akihiko Fujiyoshi, project director of OCGlobal-JV, the Japanese consortium which is building the project.

I'm excited at seeing this and other mass transport projects be completed. Sana lang ma-maintain yung Japanese standards na yan at hindi lang press release at sa umpisa lang.

On the other hand, below grade construction doesn't have the same issues as at grade/above grade construction. Securing land is mostly just an issue with station locations.

I guess that's a positive note, hopefully it doesn't get delayed too much like other infrastructure projects.
