In Davao City, Ernesto M. Pernia of Socioeconomic Planning told the reporters in a briefing that the construction will start soon and probably next year. The new railway system is the first big project of Duterte as the president of the Philippines in his statement last May 2016.

The projects in Mindanao are “long overdue” according to Pernia so now the details and the costs of the projects are being discussed. The 2, 000 kilometers railway system will go around the entire island of Mindanao when the project is accomplished.

Major cities such as General Santos, Zamboanga, Butuan, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, and Surigao are the place where the railway system will be connected. This project is necessary for the development of this region.
