KUMBINSIDO si Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte na magiging mabilis na ang biyahe ng mga mananakay na suki ng Light Railwyay Transit (LRT).
Ito’y matapos na pangunahan ni Pangulong Duterte ang inagurasyon ng Light Railwyay Transit Line 2 East Extension Project, itinuturing na isa sa hallmarks ng “strong commitment” ng pamahalaan na magbigay ng mas maayos na transportation system para sa lahat.
“Now our commuters can travel faster, be more productive at work and enjoy quality time with their loved ones especially in the middle of this health crisis,” ang bahagi ng talumpati ni Pangulong Duterte.
Ang pagbubukas aniya ng dalawang karagdagang LRT stations kung saan ang isa ay sa Marikina at ang isa naman ay sa Antipolo ay magpataas ng daily capacity nito ng 80K pasahero.
“the usual 3 hour travel from recto to manila to Masinag in Antipolo will now be just 40 mins. Indeed this project will improve mobility ang ensure transportation connectivity specially in the busy part of Metro Manila,” ani Pangulong Duterte.
Tiniyak naman ng Chef Executive na ang kaganapang ito ay tugon sa hamon ng 21st century at higit pa.
“so we can adapt and respond to expected challenges of the times,” ani Pangulong Duterte.
“Let me assure you that we will fully reek the benefits of our Build, Build, Build Program as we continue to overcome the pandemic and gradually reopen our economy,” dagdag na pahayag ng Punong Ehekutibo.
Pinuri nman ng Pangulo ang DOTR at ang lahat ng private sector partners nito para sa matagumpay na pagtatapos ng pryektong ito sa kabila ng hirap na dulot ng Covid-10 pandemic.
“your efforts and determination show that our govt stops at nothing to carry on with its mandate to serve the people’s interest no matter the circumstances,” lahad ng Pangulo.
Hinikayat ng Pangulo ang lahat na tulungan ang pamahalaan na lumikha ng lipunan na papayagan ang “safe reopening” ng economic activities.
” We can do this by getting vaccinated against Covid-19 and continuing to follow minimum health standards at work and in public places especially in public transportation facilities like the LRT,” anito.
“To my kababayans, i invite you to remain steadfast in this journey as we reach our final destination of achieving a more comfortable and dignified life for every Filipino. Maraming salamat po,” dagdag na pahayag ng Pangulo.
Samantala, ikinagalak naman ng Pangulo na maging bahagi ng nasabing inagurasyon.
“allow me to thank the hardworking and visionary workers and engineers who took part in the planning and construction of this railways extension and the two new stations that we open today. maraming, maraming salamat po sa ating mga manggagawang Pilipino,” pagtatapos nito. (Daris Jose)
