The PNR Clark Phase 1 will be connected to PNR Clark Phase 2 (Malolos to Clark) and PNR South Commuter which makes it an integrated commuter railway system. Tugade also said that the trains and the Tutuban-Malolos route are expected to arrive at the end of 2021. Asian Development Bank (ADB), established in 1966, has approved the USD 2.75-Billion loan for the railway construction that links Malolos, Bulacan to Clark airport in Pampanga.
