Through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica), Japan has announced that it is promising to lend the Philippines JPY 1.3 trillion (~PHP 625 billion) as an aid to construct more railways in the country. Kiyo Kawabuchi, senior representative of Jica Philippines, stated that the agency already pledged loans of about JPY 400 billion (~PHP 192 billion) of official development assistance (ODA) for the railway projects. Once completed, these transport infrastructure projects will help realize the shared vision of Jica and the Philippines towards reduced traffic congestion, seamless mobility, and better quality of life of many Filipinos. Several ride-hailing and motorcycle taxi platforms in the Philippines have begun reducing their commission rates in response to rising fuel prices, following discussions in a congressional hearing. VinFast Philippines is rolling out a new program that allows ride-hailing drivers to rent electric vehicles (EVs) for as low as ₱1,000 per day, aiming to make EV adoption more accessible for the transport sector.
