MRT-7 will be ready in 12 months - Palace exec


MANILA, Philippines - After much time in the planning stage, the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 7 linking SM North EDSA area in Quezon City to Monumento in Caloocan City will be ready in 12 months. Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita gave this timetable Wednesday as he said the "bullet-train" network will be extended all the way to Bulacan province. In a Malacañang statement, Ermita said the MRT-7 line will complete the loop around Metro Manila once it is completed. Malacañang earlier said it is decongesting the Light Rail Transit (LRT)-MRT network to accommodate commuters who will take the LRT and MRT due to high fuel prices. Ermita said the document on the construction of MRT-7 was signed two weeks ago. - GMANews.TV
