The Philippine National Railways will be temporarily shut down later this year, perhaps by the summer.This was confirmed by Department of Transportation Undersecretary for Railway Cesar Chavez during a public hearing of the House Committee on Transportation on Thursday, Feb. 16.
Chavez said the planned closure of the PNR will allow for the faster construction of the South Commuter Railway Project. “Kailangang ihinto ang operasyon ng PNR sapagkat gusto nating matapos ang proyektong ito ,” Chavez said. He said that, based on a study, shutting down PNR would save the government P15 billion in the construction efforts. This is because there would no longer be a need to relocated the needed utilities electricity and water, he said.
