METRO MANILA SUBWAY LATEST UPDATE! FULL BLAST ANG CONSTRUCTION. MMSP LATEST PROJECT UPDATE

The Metro Rail Transit Line 9, or MRT-9, or commonly known as the Metro Manila Subway[7] is an under-construction underground rapid transit line in Metro Manila, Philippines. The 33-kilometer (21 mi) line, which will run north–south between Valenzuela, Quezon City, Pasig, Taguig, Parañaque and Pasay, consists of 17 stations between the East Valenzuela and Bicutan stations. It will become the country's second direct airport rail link after the North–South Commuter Railway, with a branch line to Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Dubbed as the country's "Project of the Century", the Metro Manila Subway broke ground on February 27, 2019,[8] and construction began the following December. Subsequently, suffering delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[9] the line was scheduled to fully open in 2029. The project is expected to cost ₱355.6 billion (equivalent to US$7.06 billion in 2017 dollars).[10][11] Much of its cost is covered by a loan provided by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).[12][13][14] However, it is unlikely to be completed during Bongbong Marcos' administration due to right of way problems; partial operations are expected to begin in 2032.[15]

The Metro Manila Subway is planned to be integrated with the public transit system in Metro Manila. Passengers may take various forms of road-based public transport, such as buses and jeepneys, to and from a station to reach their intended destination. The line is designed to connect with other urban rail transit services in the region; riders may transfer to LRT Line 1, MRT Line 3, and MRT Line 7 at the nearby North Triangle Common Station, which is also currently under construction. Other connections include the existing LRT Line 2 and North–South Commuter Railway, as well as the MRT Line 4 and MRT Line 8.

The line is projected to serve 370,000 passengers per day in the short term, with longer term growth leading to a projected 1.5 million passengers of daily ridership.[10]
