The Ortigas Centerlink project finished about a year ago and cut my commute time from Mandaluyong City to BGC and Makati by half. No need to get on EDSA anymore. It's a prime reason Ive chosen to stay living in Mandaluyong City instead of moving to Makati or BGC. Condo prices are half and commute times are just 10 mins, from 25 prior.
The electric power capacity need to improve that is why foreign investment in manufacturing are going to Vietnam, India and Thailand. Philippines has to strengthen the power grid and make it reliable.
@@georgeacenas2349 They don't have a power issues like the Philippines. Their streets are clean, well lit and organized. Wish that Philippines can learn from it's neighbor.
It is also very important to have Garbage treatment plant, water and sewage infrastructure and treatment. Nationalise plumbing system and infrastructure.
As a Filipino I say be cautious with the construction. Here in Canada it's concrete everywhere and I'd much rather have the natural beauty over too much construction. I do support better public transit and high density living though.
Investments should be spread across the country - improve infrastructure in regional areas outside of luzon so you aleviate congestion in metro manila!! it's basic formula that your politicians are blindsided by in pursuit of corrupt dealings. THEY ARE FAILING YOU!
@@shaunmontebon7616 Manila is already a concrete jungle. There are buildings everywhere. Hopefully these public transportation project will come to fruition. Manila is notorious for it's traffic situation.
@@jjmac83Hintay ka lang lol. Mauuna talaga Luzon pero susunod rin ibang parts ng Pilipinas. Sorry na lang kayo nasa Luzon ang NCR. Kung aasenso ang bansa di naman kayo mapagiiwanan. Di naman pwede sabay sabay. Third world pa rin tayo remember.
Dapat gawing maayos mga highway,bridges,tunnels(if meron) para mas maging mabilis ang pagdadala ng mga agricultural products sa mga cities lalo na sa panahon ng mga natural calamities para hindi masyado mag expensive ang foods.
Ung presyuhan po Ng commodities are dictated by the law of supply and demand. Ibig sabihin Kh8 mdami supply, wala or mababa demand, mura presyuhan and likewise pág kabaligtaran nman. Supply is pwede artificial like sa bigas, sabi kulang supply ng bigas, boom raid warehouses, Ayun dami stock. In short tinatago ng mga negosyante pra lumabas n may shortage ng bigas pra mkapagtaas ng presyo. Daming Pinoy ang di nauumawaan ang supply and demand
@dorismay8383 All of this infrastructure started under President Duterte's term and hopefully it will end once Sara Duterte is the next President after PBBM. No to yellow shit liberal party, they will only destroy the country like what the Democrats are killing The US.
Thank you , as long as it is a joint priject by Japan or Other European countries i salute fir these projects Praying and hoping for foreign involvement in these projects in Dagupan city or in Pangasinan.
Should have happened shortly after MacArthur liberated some of the Japanese loot worth Gazzillions. Stolen from 12 Asian countries, most from China, it was buried in 175 caves & tunnel sites all over the country. But Philippines did not share in it. Hirohito & his gang, the US , the military industrial complex all shared in the bounty but not us. Now we face mass extinction. It’s too late , these projects just after thoughts designed to extract kickback from all the build build build. America said, you want independence? Sure , here it is, but you don’t get development funds. Have fun with your independence.
If these projects are really in the pipeline, this video is an overly optimistic overview of infrastructure development in the Philippines. Realistically, we don't build-build-build, it's more like build slow-slow-slow and we don't maintain our infrastructure well. Anyway, I cross my fingers and look forward to another 50 years before these dreams come true.
nah don't be pessimistic if you have been commuting in edsa in the early 2000 you should have know how long it takes for you to travel from 1 place to another but with the new skyway and interlinks going from one place to another is much easier nowadays.
You are already outdated with what is happening at the moment with all the ongoing projects in the philippines. So if you don't know anything, then you just watch coz the current administration mean business and want to finished majority of this projects before the end of His term.
The country will improve once Manila is decongested, more jobs are put in the provinces/other major cities and there is a low wage gap between the rich and the poor. Give this half a century (50 years) to happen. It takes this long because we need the old corrupt people to die first and the young people to take the reigns in making efficient changes.
Majority sa mga Filipino ay nangunguna ang emotion o madamdamin kaysa utak o logic kaya madali mauto ng dayuhan. Pag nabanggit salita Pilipinas o Filipino papanoorin nila.
Thank you for speaking the honest truth, it's too much corruption all over the Philippines, it's just another project to allow the rich filipinas to the even richer, and the poor people will still live below poverty, it's all a scam !
You forgot to mention The almost done project of Panguil Bay bridge the longest water spanning bridge in Ph surpassing San Juanico Bridge that's connect the province of Lanao Del Norte and Tangub City
These projects if and when materialied wilk be good for the country. More efforts are needed to protect environment, waste management, affordable housing for all, water and food resources, renewable energy, exploitation of natural resources in the wisest way to move forward. Corruption will take Philippines backwards. Mabuhay.
It’s a good start. Like what’s happening in New Clark city. NCR region already too much population. Would like to see Cebu change too. Philippines is so far behind the rest of SE Asia when it comes to infrastructure. And the Philippines is so polluted compared to Vietnam and Thailand. I would love to so Filipinos show some more pride in their country and try to keep the Philippines beautiful.
Wow!! Have you been in vietnam and thailand?? I disagree!! Thailand and vietnams air quality is not anywhere near manila's air quality!!!! The sky In manila is very clear!! And crystal blue!! Is that sign of pollution!! Stop spreading fake information!! Compared to the air quality in thailand and vietnam!! Very poor air quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only poulated is metro manila, you get outside of metro manila and everything else is breathe of fresh air. Ofcourse there are few neighboords that is on the exception BGC, Mckinely, AYALA makati, Eastwood city, Ortigas Center, etc etc
Not going to happen if they keep on electing dumb officials and what's to say regarding their lack of discipline towards the environment and traffic rules
Wow these infrastructure projects sounds fantastic once built and running a much more needed project is affordable housing for more local people and overseas retirement investors . I would certainly be interested in such projects.
I'm not sure why but I couldn't help not being excited with this video. I really wish this could come into reality. I believe that Philippines does not lack resources to make this happen.
Yes, pero sana mag-concentrate din sa gawing northeast naman like Cagayan Valley. Kung yung TPLEX umabot ng Rosario, La Union, which is around 210 kms north of Manila, Bakit di nila kayang gawin yung North Luzon East Expressway to San Jose City, Nueva Ecija which is just 155 kms, or kahit hanggang Cabanatuan man lang which is around 108 kms (same distance as Mabalacat or Capas). Kahit nga hanggang Gapan City (85 kms) man lang para mapabilis mga papunta ng Cagayan Valley or N.E. During peak season, sobrang tindi ng volume ng vehicular traffic sa NLEX, halos di magkasya lahat sasakyan papunta norte. There should be an alternative expressway. About sa pondo, people may ask, matagal na nasa drawing board ang NLEE, pero lagi least priority. And kung makakarating ng San Jose City ang expressway, di na gaano mahihirapan ang mga umuuwi ng Cagayan Valley or mabawasan man lang travel time. remember, Nueva Ecija and Cagayan Valley are the top-notch rice producing regions in Ph.
Yeeaaah. I am an American who has lived in the PI for 17 years. It took 12 years to complete the NLE ( from Gloria to duterte!). Scheduled completion 2012 - actual completion 2020. Philippines has big ideas and low will to accomplish.
if the philippines is federal state like in germany, malaysia and US, more chances that every regions here in the country can have the same NCR vibes..be it in the infrastrusture, transportation sector, economics contribution and employment opportunities..🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Erroneous, you do realize that if we are a federal gov. Those region in Mindanao wouldn't have money, those provinces take more tax money than what they actually contribute.
@@i.p.error4044 no you're completely wrong....when we moved to federal system, those smaller states will have monies cause the govt. are already in the mode of streamlining...we have a govt. system that is not working, prone of so much corruptions; too much bureacratic red tape for example our govt. system is copied to the form of govt. in the USA ....here in in america we have senate and house of representatives, why we have senate here????bec. small state such as maryland, maine, new jersey, hawaii are poorly represented, compare to big states as Texas, CAli, alaska, etc. do philippines needed a senate at present form of govt.???? NO. philippines is so small country the size of arizona. but we copy the US form of govt. and so monies are wasted. the members of house are not doing anything, some members of congress 240 plus???? senate 24?????are not doing anything, what pacquiao doing now???and others????sure they have budgets...spend it on their extra wives etc........same thing with barangays....philippines yes, is unique, other countries don't have barangays that is bec. the city council members, the police are enough to handle concerns of their populations like here in the USA ...but we (philippines) have extra expenditures poured into this small units called barangays, not only that, we have sanguniang kabataang barangays....what for?????as practice sessions so they can be a full govt. officials if they wanted for in the future????? None sense, all these monies are wasted and not concentrated on actual needs of the people like healthcare, country's securities etc. again, if you study political science you will understand what i am talking about. philippines needs to overhaul the govt. from top to bottom so the country will prosper.
We Filipinos don’t have a good track record of taking care and maintaining things. I live there and it’s a lie, the lifts and escalators break and are out of service for at least 6 months. They don’t maintain the infrastructure, don’t believe the hype. The traffic is from the busses and jeeps. However, on Edsa, they dedicated 1 lane for the busses now. Still have traffic though. Keep raising the prices of diesel (70 pesos a liter currently) and gas (65 liter) will do the job of taking cars off the road. Example MRT Ayala station during Aquino to Duedirty administration. Inflation has effected the country so the poor as usual suffer the most. Middle class take the food home to eat and not give to the poor anymore. Ultra rich car even lesser for the poor. However, the poors life is of their choosing most of the time.
A spanish pilipino billionaire is building the world largest solar energy farm!! Bigger than the one in china!! It's the billionaire enrique razon who will finance it!!
@@brucedandridge5603the poor you see in slums are how many times already been relocated and been given free housing but they sell or rent the house and go back to slum again!! So to scam the government and get another house again!! It's not what foreigners think that the poor are neglected here!! Actually they are scamming the government!!! Try to research If what I'm saying is true!!!!
In the past our railways boast it's tracks from La Union to Bicol. We all have development everything handed firsts, oldest universities, oldest airlines, etc etc but somehow we went downlow bec of the corruption in the govt, hope this will continue and bring back the glory of the Philippines as the original tiger economy in asia like in the days it's considered the Paris of the orient.
Every Development brings changed good or bad. I feel for the poor trike, bike or similar transport modes that will be out of business. Anyway the best way to move forward will be a better prospect . I see the Philippines become a more expensive destination on the near future.

Phil is building the world's biggest airport north of manila!! Huge and modern underconstruction now!! About 25 percent finish and be operational in the next couple of years!!
Buses, jeeps, tricycles, and pedicabs are easy to reassign to other locations if there are less commuters who will patronize them. Their owners will survive somehow. But only the Government can facilitate the very expensive and big-ticket projects. However, it is correct that local politicians don't want to spend their annual budget on the yearly maintenance costs of these projects once they are constructed. Those politicians should be voted out and replaced with people who have common sense.
The concept is fantastic but before long things will start to fall apart or break down because they don't have enough of the right technical people to keep things running. You only have to be here a short while to see how bad their power infrastructure is, how bad the water supply and lack of proper drainage and sanitation in some places that are medieval. I love this country and the people but their is no proper apprenticeship training for the hands on technical workers as they simply watch another do a job and within 6 months they are fully trained without serving 4 years as in other countries.
Too good to be true as if it will really happen. What is worse to come is the deterioration of our environment and our freedom of movement in the near future
You think the Filipino is concerned about the environment? Wondering where all the trash, garbage, sewage that can be seen in our rivers and communities is coming from? Being poor is one thing and not caring about where you live is another. Then we have our air pollution is coming from?
Yup, I totally agree with you. We Filipinos don’t have a good track record of taking care and maintaining things.

However, the poors life is of their choosing most of the time. I am glad you guys see the truth for what it is.
The Philippines need to reduce or eliminate (if its even possible) these corrupted politicians first. Then I would see hope for The Philippines. Its disappointing to realize that it starts from SK officials and Barangay Captains to the Malacanang Palace politicians. And it's so rampant and obvious but we don't point it out "enough." In addition to that, People also tends to have their votes bought (vote buying issue) by these corrupted politicians, and these kind of things are just being "normalized" nowadays. We just use it as "memes" but never really do something about it. I hope someday, the new generation of Filipino youth with good intentions for The Philippines will take over these seats and make this country a successful one. Mabuhay ang Bansang Pilipinas 🇵🇭
The road I drove on today on Bohol island can barely be called a road. Stop this stupidity done by rich politicians that are trying to impress their rich international friends
Still want to live in a remote area where it is nature's way design. Love the conveniences in LIFE, but I only need a good hospital, library and research place to improve LIFE.
Library? Nobody goes to the library nowadays except you. You can go to any school that has a library. We have a lot of good hospitals, what are you talking about? Research? You can do that on the internet everything is digital nowadays.
@@mysterioustravels4305The Philippines is legit the only Asian country I have been on that lacks public libraries much less library cafes which is a shame because libraries and reading does help societies the most. It is surprising to me that I find more people there that do not read a book out of interest at some point in their entire life. I can see why because most libraries available there is only in schools and that’s it. There are a few that aren’t and they are not many. Also there is a lack of known Filipino authors in the masses and if contemporary writers do exist they mostly limit themselves in the romance genre.
Some see improvement. Some see future trouble. Who is financing these projects? Will taxes increase? With increase of people, will increase more cost? If China has hand in it, what's the catch?it is good to look at big picture.
Nice synopsis of PI’s important infrastructure projects, but it’s obvious that the creator is not in the country. For example, @4:25 CCLEX was inaugurated 1 1/2 yrs ago & has been in continual use since then. Why the wording, “. . . when it is completed” & “it will be” in future tense?
Good thing the job generating manufacturing company are moving out of metropolitan manila, mass transport is a good thing, let the Visayas region captures the hub as a tourism area and Mindanao as mix industrial Agriculture zone
Philippines are too stupid to understand Tourism. Studying the economy of ASEAN countries for over 20 years myself and it is no surprise why Philippines with Myanmar, Laos and North Korea are the worst countries.
Dapat ganun nman tlga, Visayas should focus on tourism kc yun ang biyaya sa knila, Agriculture for Mindanao. Ung pang international n industries like finance, BPO, manufacturing etc leave it to Luzon.
Awesome only in two past admin that the development is in different provinces.Before kung sino malakas admin yun yung may pondo at minsan mga palpak pa na project at pinondahan pa galing sa senador n budget,mga hindi natapos na tulay at substandard na million ang gastos n di napakinabangan maayos.Ngayon computer monitoring kung di matapos by certain goal percentage papalitan ang contractor.May sistema na.Mas mamaximize budget.
Sisihin mo si Grace Trapoe dahil hindi sya nagbigay ng emergency power kay PRRD para sana maayos yung EDSA. Dapat naumpisahan ng luwagan yang EDSA kung hindi dahil sa makapili na si Grace na nagbibigay ng milyon-milyong dolyares kay Joma Sison sa Netherlands pa.
If they have a light rail system, what do they need a subway for? Some of these bridges are only for vehicles, why is there no train option? Heard that Clark city has no provision for affordable housing or mass transit. Does Manila need 4 airports: NAIA, Sangley Point, Bulacan, Clark?
I was thinking that myself. Why are so many airports being built? All of them echoing thousands of flights and millions of tourist each year. Heck, most tourist destinations don't have clean bathrooms and lack proper toiletries. Why can't the government fix those instead?
The lack of better functioning infrastructure in the Philippines and the corrupt government is the only thing that I am shameful about coming from the Philippines. The culture, the people, the country and the landscapes are all beautiful, but this all could be enhanced even more with better leadership.
Corruption is always there big or small. What I hate the most is stopping or delaying projects that would benefit the people just because the project was done by the politician on the opposing side.
Labat Naman ng government corrupt. You comparing corruption to USA they worst no infrastructures. China they spending but you can see it globally they investing on silk road which include Africa indian ocean. As long Philippines building infrastructures with corrupt tion you mention I am good with that. Better than last 30 years
Its even more disappointing to realize that it starts from SK officials and Barangay Captains to the Malacanang Palace politicians. Its so rampant and obvious but we don't point it out "enough."

Lagi naman nandyan yung korapsyon. Wala lang talagang pakialam yung mga trapo na nagpapatakbo sa bansa natin kasi mas gusto nila mag send ng mga pinoy abroad imbis na idevelop sarili nating bansa. Just the truth
Filipino diaspora. d thousands of islets of the island countries of south east Asia from Indonesia to Japan (including Pacific Micronesian countries) will be a global tourist hot spot. Island2island hopping by sea craft is going 2B a huge lucrative business enterprise. d Visayas region alone comprising of many many islands is going 2b a huge tourism attraction (Cebu tourism is booming). High rise hotels, swimming pools, snorkeling, exotic food food food stomach progress, nightclubs, restaurants, electric motorcycles for rent, hotel boats for rent, submarine tours, etc etc.
These brilliant Infrastructures, the essence of budget hearings, taxes, and proper allocation of budget per department, now as a taxpayer, is confidential fund really useful?
I hope it's Not Ningas Kugon... Dream Build and then Stop 🛑... suddenly " Hindi Matapus,Wala nang Pera"... the Millions Went to Someone else Pockets...! GOD Bless you Philippines and the Filipinos.🙏💕💯💕⚖️🌍💖😇
Half of the phil gdp is generated from the metro manila and those neighboring provinces!! Its practical that improvement in i frasture will be done there first!!!! Then slowly spread out to the provinces!!!
Next make a video on how poor maintenance and repair is because the local administrators just want to receive foreign donations to build the projects but don't want to allocate yearly budgets to maintain and repair them. By the time these big projects break down and become obsolete, these numb-and-dumb officials have already retired and moved on while their replacements are just as unconcerned or are ignorant. Scold them in public!
GOD hears Pinoys and pinays cries!! Call to To GOD !! My brother smart pinoys and Little intelligent pinay women to THE ONE who created HEAVEN and EARTH in 6days and rest on 7rh day sabbath (saturday not sunday) and be BLESSED By GOD, whom sent HIS only BEGOTTEN Son JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH the HUMAN SALVATION..
If CORRUPTION would just be lessened, The Philippines would have been very progressive. Recalling then that she was #7 gold-producing country in the 60s. Remove traditional politicians, she would be in a much better economic status.
They are if you are researching. Railway projects are in progress for feasibility studies and financing. Three bug bridges will be built including Samal to Davao. Nickel processing plants worth billions are in the plan.
No to that, it will be of a more tyrannical country. We Filipinos don’t have a good track record of taking care and maintaining things. Now add federalism to the mix. I live there BGC and Makati area and it’s a lie, the lifts and escalators break and are out of service for at least 6 months. They don’t maintain the infrastructure, don’t believe the hype. The traffic is from the busses and jeeps. However, on Edsa, they dedicated 1 lane for the busses now. Still have traffic though.

However, the poor’s life is of their choosing most of the time. 1 st world parts surrounded by 3rd to 4th world parts.
Come out in my mind insight while the one posted this video commentary on the peojects the railway or subway give my attention it possibly reduce traffic crowd of vehicles to take out all commuters vehicles and left private or modern bus to run in MManila because all people ride via on railway or subway. But discipline and strict role must above impose to Filipino until they practice it normal like the former mayor and PDigong done in Davao City that after 5 years both local residence and visitors to Davao well inform what role follow and obey the law. I notice that even Digong our President he used strong policy obey the law and there is transformation we observe and seeing it. Maybe ig Sara to be the next President MORE MORE CHANGES IN OUR COUNTRY FUTURE 🙏
Most projects are mostly in Luzon disregarding the Visayan Islands and more importantly Mindanao , the source of resources! If and when Corruption is at the very least lessened, the country will have the resources to hastened development in the country. Alas, most politicians are downright Corrupt and their family and friends benefit from their influence and ill-gotten wealth!
The only real economic sense making project would be a freight railway line from Mindanao to Luzon. But we know the 2 require 20km bridges will never be financed.
@@arcaine101 None of this projects make real sense with a ROI except the Manila train, but it might be just too short distance to matter compared to truck/bus usage.
Build over farmlands instead of building on reclaimed land is slow suicidal. Reclaimed land cannot grow rice. Philippines has one of the most fertile soils in this planet. Expand over your oceans is better than destroying your rich soil.
