MANILA -- At a station-marking ceremony for the upcoming 106km Manila-Clark railway project, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade announced a part of a grand plan that seeks to define President Rodrigo Duterte's economic legacy.
"We hope to finish the term of President Duterte with at least 1,000km of railway system all over the country," Tugade said Monday. The Southeast Asian nation's four current rail lines service a combined distance of less than 100km.
