MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) will convert 22 hectares of land in Calamba City, Laguna province, into a depot for a new station of the Philippine National Railways (PNR).

The land will be used in building the Banlic Depot Site and Calamba Central Station, which is part of the DOTr’s bigger North-South Commuter Railway project.

Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade on Tuesday said the rail line is expected to partially operate in the fourth quarter of 2025, while full operations are expected to commence by 2028.

With the new railway link, commuters can travel from Alabang in Muntinlupa to Calamba in half an hour, Clark in Pampanga in one hour and 30 minutes, and Makati to Calamba in one hour. —MARIEJO S. RAMOS
