The Golden Years of  Philippine Railways (1950s, 1960s and 1970s)

After World War II, the Philippine railways was rehabilitated by the U.S. Military before the Philippine independence of July 4 1946.

It has been exciting two and half years with current President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s assumption to the highest seat of the Philippine government as the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines, succeeding former President Benigno S. Aquino III in June 30, 2016. 

The Duterte Administration's "Build, build, build" (BBB) program has been the forefront of developing a nationwide economic revitalization and growth of our country. This is just the continuation of some of the projects planned during former President and now 4th District of Pampanga and House Speaker Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and also some plans or projects from the previous administration namely former President Fidel V. Ramos (1992 – 1998), former President and now City of Manila Mayor Joseph Ejercito-Estrada and they say former President Ferdinand E. Marcos as early as the late 1970s during his dictatorship.
