00:00 Since yesterday, the 5-year closure of PNR for the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway
00:06 has become emotional for some of its people.
00:09 Raffy Tima is on the spot!
00:11 This is the last train leaving from the historic PNR Tutuban Station in Manila.
00:22 From tomorrow until the next 5 years,
00:25 you will not see this scene here.
00:28 The operation will be stopped to allow the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway
00:33 that will run from Clark Freeport Zone and Metro Manila to Calamba, Laguna.
00:38 We are asking for forgiveness and a little bit of patience from our riding public.
00:45 As a reminder, employees and their families boarded a train to travel to Alabang
00:50 and returned to Tutuban Station.
00:52 Aside from the passengers, they are the ones who will be affected by the closure,
00:56 especially those who are in the operations.
00:58 Those who lost their jobs did not even transfer to PNR B-Call.
01:02 We can recommend within the DOTR family to other agencies.
01:06 I am thankful for your long service in PNR.
01:14 And we look forward to be working with you in the other rail system of DOTR.
01:21 It is sad, but it is how it is.
01:25 We are not choosy. We will resign and look for a job opportunity.
01:31 Passengers who use PNR daily are also saddened by the 5-year closure of the train.
01:36 The train is a big help to us.
01:40 The fare is cheap and it is better to travel by train.
01:47 It is a big loss because it is only 24 hours from Alabang to Tutuban.
01:52 While the bus fare is 50.
01:54 The initial 25 buses approved for PNR route are temporary.
02:00 It is time for the North-South Commuter Railway to finish the new train system
02:05 that will accommodate up to 800,000 passengers daily
02:09 compared to 30,000 per day now.
02:12 And the old trains, railways, and stations like what you see here in Tutuban
02:18 will be replaced by high-tech, faster, and more modern facilities
02:24 that will be more equal to modern train systems in other countries.
02:29 For GMI Integrated News, Raffy Pima reporting for 24 Hours.
