SUBWAY
Once fully operational in 2029, the subway will stretch from Valenzuela to Parañaque, with a branch line to NAIA Terminal 3 NAIA.

MANILA, Philippines – The Metro Manila Subway is slowly becoming a reality after the tunnel boring machine makes its way into what will become the subway's North EDSA station on Thursday, March 7.

An underground railway system for the Philippines has remained a dream for more than 50 years now, but with the addition of a second tunnel machine to the project, it certainly feels like full speed ahead for the Metro Manila Subway.

Here's what you need to know about the Philippines’ “project of the century.”

Stations
As of March 7, 2024, there are 17 confirmed stations that stretch for 33 kilometers from Valenzuela to Parañaque, with a branch line going to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 in Pasay.

Here are the Stations:

📍East Valenzuela Station
📍Quirino Highway
📍Tandang Sora
📍North Avenue
📍Quezon Avenue
📍East Avenue
📍Anonas
📍Camp Aguinaldo
📍Ortigas Avenue
📍Shaw Boulevard
📍Kalayaan Avenue
📍BGC
📍Lawton
📍Senate-DepEd
📍NAIA Terminal 3 (branch line)
📍FTI
📍Bicutan

Originally, travel time from Valenzuela to NAIA reaches one and a half hours. With the new subway, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has given varying estimates of travel time being slashed to 35 minutes, 41 minutes, or 45 minutes. Travel time from end to end (Valenzuela to Bicutan) is expected to be 46 minutes.

Once fully operational, the subway will have 30 pieces of eight-car train sets with a design speed of 85 kilometers per hour, enabling it to accommodate 519,000 passengers per day.

Good news!

The Metro Manila Subway project dubbed as the “Project of the Century" will have 17 stations from Valenzuela up to Bicutan. The P440-billion project is targeted to be completed on 2029 but the Transportation Department is mulling partial operability of the segment from Valenzuela to Ortigas in 2028 depending on demand.
