Construction at Camp Aguinaldo Station marks a pivotal phase in the long-awaited Metro Manila Subway Project — a 33.1-kilometer line poised to reshape daily commutes for millions.
Stretching from Valenzuela to Parañaque, the project will include 17 stations, designed to accommodate over 519,000 passengers each day. Once fully operational, this transformative infrastructure is expected to cut travel time between Quezon City and NAIA to just 35 minutes, offering a faster, cleaner, and more reliable alternative to the gridlock that has defined urban life in the capital.
Backed by a substantial ¥104.53-billion loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the subway project is more than just an engineering feat. It’s a long-overdue investment in urban mobility — and a powerful symbol of progress for a city too long stuck in neutral.
Set for completion and full operation by 2029, the Metro Manila Subway could be the beginning of a modern transit era. Until then, the hum of drills and heavy machinery reminds everyone: relief is on the way — even if it’s still beneath the surface.
