Soon, a Clark-Subic bullet train.
This was revealed by Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman Martin Diño on the sidelines of an inquiry by the House transportation committee on Wednesday.
According to Diño, the country’s first-ever “bullet train” would be built between Subic and Clark. It will be carried out through a public-private partnership with a Chinese company, he said, but did not mention the company’s name.
Diño said the Clark-Subic bullet train, which was first proposed by former 1st District Rep. Joseller “Yeng” Guiao, will be discussed by President Rodrigo Duterte in his state visit to China on October 18 to 21.
The bullet train will be the country’s first, Diño said.
Other countries which have high-speed bullet trains in Asia are Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
