Issues Raised By: Issues/Concerns Raised Response of the Proponent Malolos City and Calumpit City, Bulacan LGUs Malolos Sports Convention Center December 11, 2017, 10:00AM Engr. Paul Peter Papa - Assistant City Engineer of Malolos City

What will be the type of train and the number of carriages that you will use for the MCRP?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The trains that will be used for the MCRP will be the same type of trains used in the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project. The train may have up to 10 carriages for the commuter line. The MCRP (PNR North 2) stations will be designed as a transit-oriented development with bus bays and park/ride facilities. Also, the affected old PNR structures will be preserved as part of the new station or may be retrofitted as museums.

Barangay Chairman from Calumpit

What will be the width of the alignment and at stations? Can the residents living beside the alignment still live in the area?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The alignment is 20 meters wide, and 30-40 meters wide at proposed stations. The residents who live beside the Philippine National Railway (PNR) alignment and not affected by the project may stay where they are. Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The DOTr and JICA Design Team (JDT) is in the process of finalizing the Basic Design of the PNR North 2. Also, the PNR North 2 alignment will use the existing PNR Right of Way (ROW). However, the speed of the train is dependent on the design of the alignment. Surveys will need to be conducted to check the measurements of the Basic Design on-site. The old Northrail alignment was only 11-12 meters wide. The relocation of residents along the alignment within the PNR property will be decided by PNR, if they intend to sell their land. However, this is outside the project scope.

Hon. Chairman Wily Castro - Barangay Captain in Bulihan, Malolos

How about the intersections that will be affected by the project?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The PNR North 2 structures will be elevated viaducts with designated intersections allowing access underneath.

Engr. Paul Peter Papa - Assistant City Engineer of Malolos

How about the drainage/waterways along the PNR ROW?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The design for drainage will be the same as the North-South Commuter Railway

Issues Raised By: Issues/Concerns Raised Response of the Proponent

project (NSCR / PNR North 1). Also, the flood concerns and available outfalls will be adopted in the design for drainage.

Ms. Rosalie Graida How are you going to prepare the letters of invitation to be sent to Barangay Captains for the Public Scoping?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The definite dates of the public meetings and consultations will be coursed through the LGUs for invitation.

Barangay Kagawad from Calumpit

Will the alignment be walled / fenced off?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr There will be a default fence along the alignment with legal and approved crossings. Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The government access roads will not be blocked. The private roads crossing the PNR alignment will need to have a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with PNR. Also, the proposed freight line will be located underneath the viaduct.

Engr. Paul Peter Papa - Assistant City Engineer of Malolos

What is the purpose of the express train?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The express train will bypass some stations.

Barangay Kagawad from Calumpit

Will safety doors be provided for the commuter train?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The provision of safety doors will depend on the study.

Provincial LGUs of Bulacan Governor’s Office, Provincial Capitol, Malolos, Bulacan December 11, 2017, 3:30PM Hon. Gov. Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado - Provincial Governor of Bulacan

When will the construction of North-South Commuter Railway project (NSCR / PNR North 1) start?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The construction will begin in 2019 for the NSCR. The Due Diligence activities for RAP and EIA are on-going.

How many stations will the PNR North 1 Project have?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The NSCR will have 10 stations, with one station located in Malolos

Where is the location of the PNR North 2 depot?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr It will be located inside the Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ) of the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) in Pampanga. An area of 45 hectares has been allocated for the depot.

Will the construction of the NSCR be simultaneous, from Tutuban to Malolos?

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The construction of the NSCR will have a multiple construction phase.

Will all the existing Northrail structures (piers) be removed?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The existing piers of Northrail can be removed, to be done in coordination with LGU units and the Philippine National Railways Corp. (PNR).

Will the project boundary be fenced? Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The stations will be fenced with Transit Oriented Developments at the stations.

I suggest that the train will be elevated to avoid floods and be

4


electric. The simultaneous development of Tutuban – Malolos – Clark is good news for the province. I hope that the first train can be available in Bulacan by 2019.

Apalit, Pampanga LGUs Mayor’s Office, Municipal Hall, Apalit, Pampanga December 13, 2017, 2:00PM Hon. Mayor Peter C. Nucom - Municipal Mayor of Apalit

The relocation of ISFs during the previous Northrail Project where the existing Philippine National Railways (PNR) Right of Way (ROW) is currently cleared. What is the status of the existing Northrail pillars in Malolos, Bulacan?

Ms. Nathalie Gabrielle Tatualla – DOTr The old Northrail pillars will not be used by the project. The inter-operability of the trains as a priority for DOTr, connecting the PNR North 2- NSCR – NSRP South Commuter lines. This reconstruction project will be using an international signaling system.

Engr. Wilfredo Danting - Head Municipal Engineer of Apalit

How many tracks will the Project have?

Mr. Arata Aikawa - JDT A double train is proposed. Further discussions with DOTr will be held to determine the appropriate number of trains. Ms. Nathalie Gabrielle Tatualla – DOTr The number of tracks and stations will depend on the ridership demand study.

Sto. Tomas City and San Fernando City, Pampanga LGUs Heroes Hall, San Fernando, Pampanga December 14, 2017, 5:00PM Hon. Mayor Johhny A. Sambo - Municipal Mayor of Santo Tomas

I would like to request that a proposed station be located in our municipality. The municipality has plans to develop an interchange road between San Simon and San Fernando. An additional station can be developed at the Philippine National Railways (PNR) property. Providing a station in the area will help decrease the traffic going to the proposed PNR North 2 San Fernando station.

Hon. Mayor Edwin Santiago - City Mayor of San Fernando

May I request DOTr to provide an additional PNR North 2 station at the Sindalan area. The Sindalan area is an upcoming economic growth corridor / zone in the city. A circumferential tourism road is currently being developed in the area to connect to the North-Luzon Expressway (NLEX). I agree with Hon. Mayor Johhny A. Sambo that having a future station in Santo Tomas will help decongest traffic in San Fernando. We are planning to develop a Bus

5


Rapid Transit (BRT) terminal at the Sindalan Tourism road, and hope to align it with the PNR North 2 Project. The available space at Sindalan is 20 ha. (may be increased) for the proposed BRT station. What are your plans for the old PNR stations? The old PNR San Fernando station is an NHCP marked site, citing that it is culturally protected.

Ms. Nathalie Gabrielle Tatualla – DOTr DOTr is coordinating with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) regarding the preservation and development of old PNR stations.

Barangay Captain from San Fernando City

What are the structures of the PNR North 2 Project?

Ms. Nathalie Gabrielle Tatualla – DOTr The structures will consist of elevated viaducts and some embankments with openings. The height of the embankments is still to be designed.

Barangay Captain from San Fernando City

Will the PNR ROW be fenced?

Ms. Nathalie Gabrielle Tatualla – DOTr The PNR ROW will be fenced at certain sections with openings for government roads.

Clark Development Corporation (CDC) DOTr – Central Office, S. Osmeña St., Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles, Pampanga December 14, 2017, 1:00PM Mr. Joaquin Loyzaga - BCDA

I would like to inquire on the areas where the alignment will possibly go underground. The profile will need to ease into the approach going underground. Mr. Walter A. San Diego mentioned that the alignment will have to go underground before reaching SM City Clark, proposing mixed-use developments at the basement level.

Mr. Leonel De Velez – DOTr The obstacle will be the existing CIA runway. A cut and cover approach will be the cheapest option.

Angeles City, Pampanga LGUs Angeles City Hall, Angeles City, Pampanga December 20, 2017, 1:00PM Ms. Ami Victoria A. Dacanay - Angeles City Planning and Development Office

Is the North Rail Project the same with PNR existing width?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr The North Rail Project has determined their own width. What is clear is it is not the same with the existing PNR width. There are many portions that the alignment is inside the PNR Right-of-way. The instruction from DOTr is the right-of-way for this project will be 30 meters, and for the stations, it will be 60 meters to allocate loading/unloading areas, and integrated transport system terminal.

What about the applications for building permits filed in our office? Suppose we issue building permits, then in the end, it will be within the alignment of the project? I hope we can be given the details of the alignment so we can inform our

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr For those applications which are completely within the right of way, of course they will be denied building permits. Our issue is with those applications that may intersect a portion of the alignment. Regarding this, the

6


applicants. Assistant Secretary of DOTr will send out official letters to define the alignment. The possible major issues, like intersection of alignment with institutions [schools, churches, hospitals, etc.] will be made clear during the surveys.

Hon. Marte L. Arceo - Barangay Captain of Brgy. Lourdes Sur

I have an existing Day Care Center within the PNR right-of-way. Until when can I use it?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr Our detailed design for the project is scheduled to be done by May 2019, so more or less, by that time, we are doing clearing of the PNR right-of-way.

Hon. Bernie Huypungco- Barangay Kagawad of Brgy. Santo Cristo

I have a proposed chapel, already filed in our Engineering and Planning Office, which is outside the perimeter of PNR, but may be inside the amended width for this project’s alignment. What are our options? Do we have the assurance that the chapel to be constructed will be untouched?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr We have no assurance, sir. Our priority is the railway project. The detailed design for the project is scheduled to be done by May 2019.

Do we have an itinerary for further consultation meetings?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr We have. This meeting is just the start, to inform you of the project. Before we survey the site, we will have meetings to inform you of further details regarding the activities to be conducted.

What can you advise us so I can relay that to the parish pastoral council?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr You can provide DOTr with the construction plans. Actually, his meeting starts the information drive to the LGUs so that on their part, they can withhold any construction within the right-of-way.

The chapel to be constructed in our barangay is a case to point. In my knowledge, it was already approved by the City Engineer’s Office, and the structure and design was already coordinated to us in the Barangay. Any suggestion?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr: I cannot say for now, since we have yet to conduct surveys to determine the extent of the alignment. Ms. Ella - JDT You can inform DOTr as early as possible, so that your concerns will be considered in our initial planning stages. Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr All your concerns are listed and documented. During our site surveys, the comments of your constituents will also be documented and submitted to DOTr, so that they can be considered and attended to.

Mr. Nestor T. Macatbag - Representative of Brgy. C.M. Recto

On the project design, is the 30-meter width for the stations or for the entire length of the project?

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr According to DOTr, the 30-meter width is for the alignment, while the stations will have 60-meter wide right-of-way.

I asked the previous question because I am thinking, if the existing

Ms. Cristina Quinalayo - DOTr One rule in our procedure for this project

7


PNR station in our barangay will be reconstructed, the adjacent roads will be closed. The Villanueva road will be gone.

is that there must be no access roads that will be closed or intersected by the project, but if this is not feasible, we can do re-routing as an alternative.

Provincial LGUs of Pampanga Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center, San Fernando, Pampanga December 22, 2017 Hon. Gov. Lilia Pineda – Governor of Pampanga Province

When is the bidding for the Project? Ms. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr The bidding was conducted in November 2017.

Is the proposed Project funded by JICA?

Yes, Ma’am.

Where will be the starting point of the proposed Project in Malolos?

The starting point will be in the old Philippine National Railways (PNR) station.

Is the New Clark City covered by the proposed Project?

Yes, Ma’am.

Hon. Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo – House of the Representative (Pampanga 2nd District)

When is the target date of construction?

The constructed is expected to start in 2020.

Will there be Right of Way (ROW) Problems again?

As of now, we are doing the survey for the resettlement.

Hon. Gov. Lilia Pineda – Governor of Pampanga Province

We would like to request a copy of the presentation. We need it for us to present also the Project to the NGOs and other sectors.

I suggest that we need to fast track this Project. We need also to create a committee which include LGUs, NGOs, and other sectors.

Involve the LGUs in the RAP. If you will do it alone, you will never finish it. Also, the resettlement/relocation area must be located near Clack and San Fernando. It shall be provided with school, covered court, open spaces and other basic facilities.

Yes Ma’am, we will involve the LGUs in the preparation of RAP.

Provide us the list of the affected LGUs so that we can coordinate with them already.

Yes Ma’am, we will provide you the list of the affected LGUs.

The received copy of the request letters, attendance sheets, and photos taken during the IEC activities are presented in Annex 1.1.

ISSUES / CONCERNS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF THE EIA STUDY June 22, 2018, Monday, 1:00PM

EIA Module Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion Project Description Hon. Kagawad Nilo Abarico - Brgy. Balungao, Calumpit, Bulacan:

We are very much concern about this project because our drainage canal is only 6 meters away from the railway. We are worried that it will be blocked during construction of the project. Yes Ma’am, the drainage is within the PNR ROW and it is 6 meters away from the centerline.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: Is the drainage within the PNR ROW? Is it 6 meters away from the centerline? This project will have its own drainage canal. If there’s existing canal that may be blocked by the structures of the project which may cause flooding in the community, it will be considered in the detailed design. Various meetings and site inspection will also be conducted for this project. Hence, I encourage you to please do attend to the meetings regarding this project especially the engineering department in your city or municipality because they are familiar of your drainage design.

EIA Module Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion Mr. Orlando Farrales - Chief Tanod of Brgy. Palimbang, Calumpit, Bulacan: Our community is adjacent to the 15 meters ROW from Malolos to Calumpit. There is a high probability that during the construction phase, around 50 houses will be blocked. In case of emergency, how could we get out if DOTr will fence the area during construction?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: In general, any public roads of the municipality and barangay which the community uses to pass through MacArthur Highway will not be blocked. If there are existing private roads that a small group of people uses, it will be surveyed. The results of the survey will determine what houses will be affected and if the drainage will be blocked. We are considering this problem and it will be incorporated in the detailed design study.

Atty. Rizaldy Mendoza (City Administrator, City of Malolos): Reiteration of our request to have loading and unloading zone at the entrance of the proposed Malolos Station to avoid traffic congestion in Capital View Park. Also, since we have the fully operational transport terminal, we are requesting for the proposed station be connected to the terminal.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: The DOTr will to form a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Committee, which will compose of the Traffic Management of LGUs, Planning Office, PNR, DPWH, DOTr to plan the loading and unloading area and the circulation of the traffic as well as the integration of transport facility within the station. Since there is a TOD Committee, it doesn’t mean that DOTr will finance the construction of the facilities. The LGUs have three (3) years to plan for this and request for budget.

Ms. Clarissa Villanueva - MGB Region 3: Where will you source the aggregates or sand that will be used in the project? Is it legal?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: For the Phase 2, we will still study where we will obtain the sands. However, for Phase 1, the sand will be from Pampanga because we are considering the qualities of the materials for the post of the railway.

Hon. Chairman Catalino Claudio - Barangay Calumpang, Calumpit, Bulacan: Regarding the closing of roads that cross PNR ROW we are requesting for consideration in our barangay road. We use this road to pass through MacArthur Highway. Closing this road will also affect the accessibility of Calumpit National High School.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: If there is a possibility that the road crossing PNR ROW will be closed, we will find another way for the residents to access the public road and the school. When we conduct the survey, please inform our personnel or sub-contractors that there will be community and school that will be affected if the road will be closed.

Land Ms. Clarissa Villanueva - MGB Region 3: Is the project required to have an EGGAR? The EIA Study is an assessment of the impacts of the project to the environment whereas the EGGAR includes the catastrophic events which may affect the project.

Engr. Carlo Vic Arida - EMB-Central Office: EGGAR is required and this will be included in the EIA Study. It is incorporated in the EIS Report where in the geological hazard assessment are already covered.

EIA Module Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion Ms. Elenita Inosanto - Resident of Brgy. Catmon, Malolos, Bulacan: We are affected by the Project and since the ROW will traverse in our property, our land title will be changed. How long is the process of restitution of title?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: If you are part of the affected barangay and you own a private property, the value of your land will reduce. In general, if the owner of the property is willing to turn-over the property to DOTr, DOTr will be the one to process the transfer. If you have balance in your property tax, we will deduct the payment to the owner. On the other hand, if you didn’t comply within 30 days from the offer letter, we will file expropriation to the court. For the duration of processing, it will depend to the issues or problems with the land title. We are planning to set-up a one stop shop for the land title processing in coordination with LRA, DOTr and LGUs.

Water Atty. Rizaldy Mendoza - City Administrator of Malolos, Bulacan: This is a reiteration of our request to restore the cantarilla or the waterways.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: Based on the design, the boundary of the railway alignment is more or less 15 – 15 meters from the centerline of the PNR ROW. It means that the posts of the project will be located within the project boundary. Our design team will maximize the area and will prioritize the project structures particularly the base of the railway. If there will be remaining available area, we will try to maximize them to accommodate your drainage. We are trying our best to comply the other requests of the LGU/community. However, on the restoration of the Cantarilla, it is not a component of this project.

Mr. Orlando Farrales - Chief Tanod of Brgy. Palimbang, Calumpit, Bulacan: Our drainage system from the barrio proper crosses under the PNR ROW. What will be the plan of DOTr for our drainage? If you will block the drainage, our barrio will be flooded.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: If there are existing drainages within the ROW, may we request the Engineering Department and the LGUs in the area to inform us about the drainage system that would possibly be blocked by the project. We will consider this in our design.

People Hon. Vice Mayor Gilbert Gatchalian - City of Malolos, Bulacan: May we suggest that the Project will have its own hotline or special access with the LGU to have immediate action when the construction phase of the project starts. Also, during the implementation phase, may we request DOTr to establish help desks in case of emergency and if there are damages coming from the boring activities, cracks, noise and air pollution.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: This is noted sir. We’ll try to make a hotline. If there are houses, roads that will be affected during construction phase, we will pay for the repair. The JICA Guidelines also require a Grievance and Redress Committee to accommodate any issues regarding the project.

ISSUES / CONCERNS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF THE EIA STUDY January 23, 2018, Tuesday, 1:00PM

EIA Module Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion Project Description Hon. Mayor John Sambo - Municipal Mayor of Sto. Tomas, Pampanga:

We are supporting the project 100% and at the same time, the proposed stations: Apalit, San Fernando, Angeles, Mabalacat and so on. On our part, in the Municipality of Sto. Tomas, we are strongly proposing to put up a train station in our municipality. The reason is that the PNR has 3-hectare lot in our municipality and it is bounded by 3 national roads namely: MacArthur Highway, Apalit-Sto. Tomas National Road and the newly build Pasang-Pulpul National Highway. Also, Sto. Tomas is accessible to all western municipalities of Pampanga and with our approved NLEX-Sto. Tomas-NLEX interchange, which NLEX told us that it is from Sto. Tomas to Dinalupihan, Bataan. So, we strongly believed that Sto. Tomas train station is really needed for the commuters.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: Thank you, Sir, for supporting our project. Regarding your additional train station request, may I ask if you already have an official request letter for it?

Yes, Ma’am. In every consultation, we requested it. Of course, we don’t want to bypass this kind of consultation, although we have a resolution in writing addressed to our Hon. Congressman.

We have a policy in our department, that an official letter request must be submitted for any request of additional train station. This is because our project was approved by NEDA in 2017 including the baseline cost and the seven (7) stations. If there is a request for additional station, we will consider it because it is required by the LGU. However, as of now, we will do first the approved project by NEDA. We need the request letter for you to pinpoint your proposed location of the train station. Then, we will consider it and since the study of Japanese Team is ongoing, they will officially include in the study the location of the proposed additional train station. To approve the request for additional train station, we consider the (1) passengers and (2) the major concerns of the Mayor.

We are still in the feasibility study stage wherein we study the project and where to properly locate the stations. I’m supporting this project but if we look at it, the proposed train station in San Fernando is already traffic tight. Aside from our letter, please include it also in your feasibility study.

As long as you have an official letter request for additional station, we will consider it. Also for any additional station, we will apply it to NEDA and back again to the process.

EIA Module Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion Hon. Kagawad Galvan - Barangay in Angeles, Pampanga: How many meters both sides, is the ROW of the old PNR?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: The PNR ROW is 30m. From the center, 15 m to the right and 15m to the left. Based on the design of the Japanese, the alignment must be straight so the 30m is needed for the adjustment of the curves to avoid accidents. Another reason is that we have freight/cargo at the bottom so we need space for it. Next week we will conduct a survey to identify the 30m PNR ROW and to determine the condition in the area.

Hon. Chairman Jerry Magsino – Barangay Tabun, Mabalacat, Pampanga: May I confirm if the alignment will still traverse in front of Xevera?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: No, Sir. We will reroute the alignment because the area is built up. But as of now, we are still studying it.

Hon. Vice Mayor Augusto D. Manlapaz – Municipality of Apalit, Pampanga: This project was first proposed in the term of Former Pres Gloria Arroyo. This project is good for our Province, also for Bulacan, Clark and so on. Based on your Project Timetable, maybe the project will stop or will not proceed when the administration of President Duterte ends.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: Three weeks ago, we met the Former President Arroyo when we presented this project to the Province of Pampanga and she’s happy that this project will resume. Moreover, the Phase 1 project will be constructed this year. For the Malolos-Clark, our target date in signing of Loan Agreement is on December 2018. After the signing of loan agreement, the construction of this project will proceed.

Engr. Romel Santiago – DENR PENRO Pampanga: Are you going to use the existing posts in Bulacan and in Metro Manila for this project?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: The northern project, which was funded by Chinese before was started in 2009 and was constructed in 2011. In 2012, the project was stopped due to controversial issue. We studied the posts because we want to reuse them for this project for us to save costs. However, the DPWH has a new guideline for the design structures regarding earthquake resiliency in 2015. Based on the study, the existing structures are not compliant with the new guidelines. If we will use them for the project, we need to retrofit the design to comply with the new guidelines for earthquake resiliency. Even so, it is more expensive to retrofit than to construct a new design. Also, the Japanese will not guarantee the structures because they were not the one who designed the structures. In conclusion, we will not reuse the existing posts.

Land Engr. Romel Santiago – DENR PENRO Pampanga: We would like to assure the optimization of the affected trees along the alignment that can be used by schools and police. May we request DOTr also to secure tree cutting permit and earth balling permit for the trees that can be preserved.

Engr. Carlo Vic Arida – EMB Central Office: As part of the EIA Study under the Land Module, we are requiring the proponent to conduct a survey or tree inventory. Also, part of the ECC Condition is for the proponent to secure a tree cutting permit from the DENR. They cannot proceed with the project without the necessary permits.

EIA Module Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion People Mr. Lab Nacu, Staff of Hon. Councilor Edgardo Pamintuan – Angeles

City, Pampanga: Will the traffic in Angeles be affected by the proposed train station?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: This is related to the concern of Hon. Mayor Sambo earlier about the San Fernando, which has many built up and has heavy traffic. The strategy of DOTr is to form a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Committee, which includes the Traffic Management of LGUs, Planning Office, PNR, DPWH, DOTr to plan the loading and unloading area and the circulation of the traffic as well as the need of an integrated transport facility within the station. Since there is a TOD Committee, it doesn’t mean that DOTr will finance the construction of the facilities. The LGUs have three (3) years to plan for this and have enough time to request for its budget. There is also a traffic impact assessment that will be conducted for the Project, which includes the study of the roads beside the stations and the impact of the stations on the traffic. DOTr will send a letter to LGUs requesting the formation of a TOD Committee. After the formation of the committee, a regular meeting will be conducted to discuss the traffic issues/concerns.

Hon. Chairman Alma Mercado - Barangay Tabun, Angeles City, Pampanga: What will be the impact of the project in our barangay? Will our barangay be affected by the project? No Ma’am. But before, there was a railway which was used to transport sugar cane.

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: Is your barangay near the PNR Station? The PNR has properties outside the alignment. If the area is a PNR property, PNR will identify whether they will use it or not. However, the ROW from Clark to La Union which was used for the North Rail will be used for this project. For the PNR properties outside the track, as I have said, PNR will identify whether they will use it or not.

Hon. Chairman Mario Bognot – Brgy. Claro M. Recto: We are monitoring the four barangays that will be affected with the 30M ROW. We are wondering about the existing structures with land titles which are within the PNR ROW? What are we going to do with them?

Engr. Cristina Quinalayo – DOTr: We will know later in the survey if the land is a PNR property. If the land owner holds an established land title and will be within the 30 meters ROW, we will give them compensation. Please do read about the R.A. 10752 for the ROW acquisition for the infrastructure project. We will further discuss them during Public Consultation for Resettlement Action Plan.

Table 3. Summary of Issues/Comments/Suggestions Raised during Public Hearing in Pampanga on June 26, 2018


Project Description

Based on the presentation, many households in San Fernando will be affected. Most are illegal settlers and private lot owners. In Quebiawan, all affected households are private land owners. What will be the measurement of the ROW at the left and at the right?

As a Barangay Captain, I would like to request the exact data of the alignment. In our Barangay Tabun, there are houses that will be affected. We want to know where the alignment will traverse because we will have a problem if it will traverse in Xevera.

When is the target date of construction?

Can DOTr use the existing PNR ROW so that no private land owners will be affected?

Where will the 15m start?

For record purposes, I hope that DOTr will consider putting a station in Minalin. The land in Minalin is very spacious. We in Sto. Tomas and Minalin, it will be very hard for us to access the stations if there will be no station in Minalin.

Can we request the exact dimension of the area in Barangay Malabañas that will be affected by the Project? This is to prevent us from issuing building permit to those who wants to build in the area that will be affected.

Kindly expedite the location of the alignment in Barangay Tabun. We hope to receive any data, even if the alignment is unofficial.

In our side, the area that will be affected by the Project is owned by Saint Scholastica. There are also business establishments and schools that will be affected. When will we know the exact area that will be affected by the Project?

People My whole house, which was constructed in 2017, will be affected. I hope the Government will consider first the feelings of the private lot owners. During the previous meetings, DOTr focuses on the legal law. As I understand, the approach of the Government to the private lot owners is the law of eminent domain. Then they will assign/transfer us to the LGUs. As far as Quebiawan Private Land Owners is concerned, we must be treated with due respect. When the Government takeover the private land for public use, the government must make an offer that it is a mandatory requirement and we must be fairly compensated.

We would like to request that before EMB will issue the ECC, make sure that DOTr has secured clearance from National Commission of Indigenous People. We saw that the Project will traverse the Ancestral Domain in Mabalacat, and Bamban.

I have a land and I gave it to my youngest child which is in Canada. My children want me to sell the house. When they knew that the railway will be constructed, they are worried that the cost of the property will be lower if the Government will acquire it. I am thankful that based on your presentation, the exact price of the property will be offered to us. Also, will the Government acquire the entire property? Because I don’t want to live

there if there is no enough space, if the government will acquire only half of the property.

We were relocated before when we were washed out by the lahar. When Barangay Tabun was able to recover, we returned to our area where we were washed out. However, the land where we built our houses was said to be the location of the railway. We went to that land because it was given to us by the NHA. How certain that our area will be utilized for the construction of the Project? Our houses and barangay hall are there. We also want to know if we will be relocated. Are you going to compensate us? Because the response that we received is that we are Informal Settlers and we don’t have the right to build our houses there. Will we be able to receive help from DOTr?

Our house will be affected. We live in that house for fifteen (15) years. As a government employee, we acquired that house through housing loan from GSIS. However, it is not yet paid. What will be the process for it? Who will coordinate with the GSIS regarding the status of our payment? Will you compensate the payment we’ve made to GSIS? Also, I want to choose the place where will our family be relocated.

Someone went to our house and put a yellow sticker. They mentioned that the wall and garage will be considered also in the compensation.

What will be the mode of payment to those who will be affected by the Project? What if the area is an establishment? What if the lot owner is already dead?

We, in Sta. Lucia, were not informed that we will be affected by the Project.

Table 5. Summary of Issues/Comments/Suggestions Raised during Public Hearing in Tarlac on

June 27, 2018


Project Description

I’ve heard earlier that the alignment will traverse Sto. Niño, San Vicente then Capas. How about Barangay Anupol? Sto. Niño is adjacent to Anupol and it is impossible to go to Capas without passing through Anupol.

Barangay Cristo Rey is predominantly residential. What will DOTr do to the roads and houses that will be affected by the Project?

Since New Clark City covers the area of Barangay Aranguren, is there a possibility that our barangay proper will be traversed by the alignment?


6


During operation, what will DOTr do in case the train will stop/malfunction?

You mentioned that you are still in feasibility stage. So, from Sto. Niño, San Vicente, apparently, you will traverse Lourdes, San Nicolas, San Roque and Anupol. You mentioned also that we don’t have a station in Bamban. Can you consider also putting a station in Anupol, Bamban? With regards to the volume of populace, as mentioned by Mayor Catacutan, in 2022, there will be more Air Force here. Also, there will be no problem in land based. With regards to the fund, it will be funded by JICA.

Since this project is in feasibility study stage, it means that at the end of this year,

probably in December, there will be another meeting like this to present the final

result of the feasibility study.

Is the train ticket cheap? Can we avail it now?

Will there be a station in Barangay Maruglu? I am just wondering because Barangay Maruglu is very far from the Project area.

Land I would like to inform you that last month, PHIVOLCS has conducted a mapping in

Bamban and Capas area, particularly in NCC. For sure, hazards are being

considered in your design. This year, our maps are under technical review. So by

early next year, they will be released and you can use them as basis in your design.

Table 7. Summary of Issues/Comments/Suggestions Raised during Public Hearing in Bulacan

on June 29, 2018


Project Description

The Project of DOTr in the South has no cultural properties. However, for this Project in the North, the original Right of Way has old stations. If not old, most of them are cultural properties or already declared by the National Museum as historical sites in the Philippines. What will DOTr do to the existing stations? Will they not be affected during construction of the elevated structures?

Is the location of the station in Barangay Balungao already final or it can be changed? In DOTr’s proposed location, traffic congestion occurs particularly during Market Day in Tuesdays and Fridays. The area is also populated. We, however, have a proposed location which is wider. We would like to request DOTr to consider putting the station there instead. There are no houses there and we want that area to have a development.


8


The Local Government Unit of Calumpit has a Position Paper, which was forwarded already to the DOTr. In the Position Paper, our Mayor requested to locate the station at the area before you arrived at Calumpit Institute.

There are three (3) intersections in Bulihan that will be traversed by the proposed

alignment: Capitol View Park, Alido Subdivision, and Royal Estate. As I

understand, the design for those parts is elevated. Can we request DOTr to furnish

Barangay Bulihan a copy of the detailed design?

I also understand that the station in Barangay Bulihan is 60m. Please give us also

the dimension including the business area that will be affected by the Project.

What is the exact measurement of the station? Is it 15m-15m or 10m-10m?

Will DOTr utilized the whole 30m-30m?

Will DOTr use the existing posts, which were constructed before for the North Rail?

Our City Government is very concern on our Senior Citizen, particularly the PWD.

What will they use to easily access the stations, especially that the stations are

high? I hope that in your proposed station, they will be considered in the design.

In Barangay Balungao, the old station of Heritage is there. What will DOTr do to the old station? Are you going to traverse the old station, which was planned to be converted into a museum? Is it possible to divert the alignment?

The proposed station in Balungao is to be located near to our water supply tank. Will it be affected by the Project since the train will generate vibration?

Will this Project be implemented? Because for a long time, we hoped for nothing. I hope that in this term of our President Duterte, the desire of not only Maloleño but also Bulakeño will be achieved. Who will finance the Project? Is it only the JICA?

Will our national government have a counterpart on the funding?

Water Calumpit becomes a catch basin when there is flood. When our Government

constructed a road, we asked the Contractors on where will the water drain. They

said that in Bagbag River. What happened was, the drainage was higher going

there up to Malolos. However, Malolos has no river as drainage. Our problem is, we

do not know now where to drain the water?

Since DOTr has its ROW, why not use it to drain the water down to river?

People The Project area in Balungao is in front of the cemetery and Balungao is a flood

drain area. Also, the Project area is the access of the students of Balungao, Gugo

and Calizon to the Central. What will the students use to access the schools, as

well as the people in going to the market and church during the construction of the

Project?

Clarification on the meaning of the host barangay and what particular area in Barangay Bulihan.

AFFILIATION RESPONSE

Base sa presentation ninyo, maraming

San Fernando pero doon sa tatamaan,

karamihan illegal settlers at karamihan

private lot owners. Ang buong

Quebiawan ay private lahat lahat po ng

tatamaan doon sa riles. Ang unang-una

kong tanong para sa buong Quebiawan,

gusto ko lang itanong ang tunay na

sukat, sa present na sukat ng PNR,

ilang meters sa kaliwa at ilang meters

sa kanan po.

Mr. Rustico Pamintuan –

Resident of Barangay

Quebiawan, San

Fernando City

Mr. Felipe Mallari III – DOTr

15-15 po.

15-15? So ang bahay ko halos

mauubos. Kagagawa lang ng isa noong

2017, yung sa amin bungalow type four

(4) years ago ay pinagawa ko yun. I’m

a retired police officer. As I’ve said a

while ago, dalawa kaming private lots.

Siguro, I am representing the Brgy.

Quebiawan kasi tabi-tabi lang, mga

retired San Miguel Corporation,

kagagawa lang ng bahay pare-pareho

ng kaso tatamaan kami. Tulad ngayon

I’m 66, I’ve planned for life. Akala ko

okay na ang buhay ko nakapagawa na

ako ng bahay, tatlong bahay na nasa

300 meters naging compound, parang

compound na nga. So, para ba kasi

malaman muna dapat ng gobyerno, as

private lot owners, ang nararamadaman

ng mga tao.

During our previous lectures, parang

administrative lectures lang instead of

administrative presentation ng

proyekto. We understand na maraming

proyekto ang under ng Build Build

Build. Malaki ang pondo ng 2018

kasama na ang Right of Way. Bulto-

bulto ang pera diyan. Pero dapat muna

malaman ng national government

through you people kung ano ang

Ms. Cristina Fernandez – DOTr

Magandang umaga po Sir. Maraming

marami pong salamat doon sa inyong

tinanong. May dalawa pong lumalabas na

klase ng obligasyon ang estado doon sa

itinanong niyo kanina.

Una, sa panimulang pag-uusap, di po ako

sigurado kung taga DOTr po yung

nakausap niyo. Baka naman po ay ilan sa

mga empleyado na nakontrata namin,

hindi po ako sigurado sir. Pero para po

doon sa pagproseso ng pagpapaalam,

mayroon po tayong mga pamamaraan na

isasa-alangalang para sa akma at tamang

pagpaparating ng impormasyon doon sa

mga apektadong mamamayan ng

proyekto.

Sa una po ninyong nakwento kanina

tungkol sa law, totoo po yon na may

batas talaga na R.A. 7279. Ito po ay may

kinalaman sa usapin ng kompensasyon at

pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga informal

settler families na apektado ng iba’t ibang

uri ng proyekto. Yon po pinag-uusapan

po yon, yong relocation at kung ano ang

mga kwalipikasyon tungkol doon sa mga

apektadong informal settler families.



mararamdaman ng mga private lot

owners na matatanda na parehas na

lang na pakain-kain lang sa Yakimix

etc. Pero pakiramdam ko magiging

back to basic ako. Mahirap magsimula

po lalong lalo na matatamaan ang

buong compound halos 80-90%. Now,

during the previous lectures o meetings

ng DOTr, ang focus nila is legal law. Di

ako abogado pero alam ko kailangan

iresettle kami, iresettle ang

matatamaan. Paano iresettle ng isang

proyekto ang private land owner? Ang

mga private land owners, as I

understand, ang approach ng gobyerno

is a law on eminent domain. Nilelecture

nila as a general rule, ipapasa nila kami

sa mga LGU and that’s it. Ang mga

previous naming kapitbahay doon na

itinapon sa norte, wala ng gustong

tumira doon. Until now, lahat ng mga

sinalvage sa San Fernando taga-norte

lahat yon. Benenta nila ang kanilang

bahay. Umalis sila doon, benenta.

During previous lectures, ipapasa lang

kami sa mga LGU. Hindi namin kaya

yon.

As far as Quebiawan Private Land

Owners is concerned, we must be

treated with due respect. Kasi nga,

private lot owner kami dapat malaman

ng gobyerno yong sentimyento ng isang

almost 80% na safe na kami, ang back

to zero mahirap yon. Para bang

dadaganan kaming lahat, ang buong

Quebiawan. Sana naman, the private

land owners of Quebiawan must be

approached in a separate way under the

law of eminent domain. The take over

of the private land by the government

for public use, the government must

make an offer that it is mandantory

requirement. At iyon ay pag-iisipan

naming under the mandatory

requirement. We must be fairly

compensated. Kami dapat dahil

babagsakan kami ng langit at lupa dahil

sa nangyari na yan, we must be fairly

compensated accordingly in due time.

Katulad niyan hindi mandatory na para

Sa kaso po ninyo Sir at sa mga ibang

taga-Quebiawan na kayo po ay pawang

mga formal o legal owners ng mga

tituladong mga lupain. Ang

makakaapekto po doong batas ay ang

R.A 10752 o ang Right of Way Act.

Tama po yong sinabi niyo kanina Sir, iba

po yong ugnayan na gagawin ng DOTr

para po doon sa mga apektadong legal na

nagmamay-ari ng kani-kanilang mga

lupain. Kung mababasa po natin ang R.A

10752, ang kinukwento po doon ay ano

po ang tamang paraan ng pagpapaalam

doon sa mga apektadong mamamayan ng

proyekto. Sa ngayon po ay nasa yugto pa

lang tayo ng Feasibility Study. Ag lahat

po ay parang nasa drawing board pa lang.

Wala pa pong final na final sa lahat. Kaya

ang mga konsultasyon ay palaging

pahapyaw na ikinukwento ng mga

potentially affected.

Ngayon po, kapag hindi na potentially

affected at kami po ay nagconduct na ng

parcellary survey. At ang ibig sabihin po

ay kuhang-kuha na, saktong-sakto na

mga Ma’am at mga Sir yong affected

area mula doon sa ikinukwento kanina na

30 meters, 15 left and right, kayo po ay

aabisuhan namin. Papadalhan ang

indibidwal ng Notice of Taking. At doon

po ikukwento ang mga proseso na

gagawin. Ang kwento kanina na dapat

fairly compensated, totoo po yon nasa

batas po yon. Lalong lalo na po ay in

partnership with JICA, Japan and ADB,

mas mataas po ang kanilang requirement

ng compensation. Sa ngayon po ay yon

lang muna Sir. Wag po kayong mag-alala

may formal proseso po tayo na dadaanan

para po doon sa mga informal settlers at

mga legal owners. Dadalhin po tayo sa

yugto na yon, Sir.



kami pumunta dito. Alam pala sa

barangay noon pa. Hindi kami

naabisuhan. Wala silang pakialam sa

amin. Ang Barangay Officials ay

walang ginagawa, hindi kami

inaabisuhan, ang tawag doon ay

incompetence.

Actually, yong tanong po namin doon

sa Xevera noong nag hearing din po,

hanggang ngayon wala pang sagot kung

yong riles po ba dati na dadaan sa harap

ng Xevera, kung ano na po ang resulta,

kasi wala pa pong sagot.

May irerequest lang po sana ako bilang

Barangay Captain na sana mabigyan

niyo po kami ng eksaktong data sa

kung saan po talaga dadaan ang riles

po. Kasi sa part ko po, may mga

matatamaan pong mga bahay sa

mismong barangay ko. Kasi po yong

magiging problema po sa amin, pag

dadaan po ng Xevera, pag labas po ng

highway pag lampas po ng mga 500

meters pakaliwa… Tanong ko po kung

doon pa rin dadaan?

Sana po mabigyan niyo po kami ng

plano kung saan po talaga dadaan. Para

alam ko at masabi ko sa mga tao. Kasi

yong matatamaan po doon bahay

talaga. So sana po mabigyan niyo po

talaga kami ng kopya. Kung maari po

makapunta kayo sa barangay para alam

po namin.

Hon. Jerry P. Magsino –

Barangay Chairman of



Sa ngayon Sir ang sabi ko po kanina nasa

Feasibility Study pa lang tayo. Pag nasa

Feasibility Study, ang lahat po ay nasa

drawing board pa, nasa drawing board.

Hindi po tayo makakapagbigay ng plano

hanggang nasa Feasibility Study kasi

nasa yugto pa siya ng pag-aaral. Ang

lahat ay parang nasa drawing pa.

Malalaman lang talaga natin siya Sir

kapag nailapat na ang imaginary design

sa lupa. Yon po talaga, meron na po

tayong direktang coordination, kasi

saktong-sakto na po tayo.

Sa pagdedesign sa alignment, palaging

tinitingnan ng DOTr at tsaka ng iba pang

mga experts na tumutulong para sa

proyektong ito ay titingnan ang viability

ng proyekto kung ito ay environmentally,

hindi makakasagasa sa ating kapaligiran.

Pangalawa po ay yong ridership, kung

kamusta po ang mga pasahero na sasakay

sa programa ng proyekto at saka ang cost

effectiveness and efficiency. Kapag

pumasa sa tatlong pamantayan na yon,

malamang makikita na po natin Sir.

Agad-agad po makikipagcoordinate ang

DOTr sa local government units.

Pangunahin po yan para pag-uusapan po

natin. Kasi totoo po yon, ang unang-

unang maaapektuhan syempre yong mga

property owners. Wag po kayong mag-

alala Sir, once na mafinalize na ang

design at ang alignment, mag-uusap po

ulit tayo.

Kailan po ang target? Ms. Cristina Fernandez – DOTr

Kanina po sa timeline na iprenesent ng

kasama natin na si Sir Felipe Mallari,

may nakwento po siya doon na by third

quarter next year ay magsisimula ang



construction. Probably po, if I’m not

mistaken sa consultant namin sa JDT, sa

timeline po malamang sa third quarter of

next year magstart na po ang

construction. Malamang within this year

meron na tayong malinaw na design at

malinaw na alignment.

Ruvie Lane Margarito po from LGU ng

Mabalacat. Representative po ako ng

mga kapatid nating mga Aeta.

So yong concern ko po, bago po sana

mag-issue ang EMB ng ECC,

siguraduhin po muna natin na meron po

tayong clearance from National

Commission of Indigenous People.

Dahil ang area po na nakikita po

naming matataamaan o madadaanan ay

pasok po ang Ancestral Domain ng

Mabalacat, at Bamban.

Hon. Ruvie Lane

Margarito – City

Councilor of Mabalacat/

Chairman Committee on

Indigenous Cultural

Communities in

Mabalacat


Okay Ma’am. Maraming maraming pong

salamat po sa na-raise ninyong concern.

Kahit noong nakaraang taon pa, isa po

yan sa napag-uuspan ng DOTr at ng JDT.

Totoo po yon Ma’am. Mayroon pong

tayong hiwalay na Resettlement Action

Plan. Mayroon po talagang hiwalay na

plano para sa mga kapatid po nating mga

katutubo. May guidelines po na kailangan

po naming sundin. Totoo po yon at

mahigpit po ang PNR doon at hindi

talaga nila kami bibigyan ng permit

kapag hindi po namin nacomply po ang

mga requirements sa RAP ng JDT.

Katulad po ng sinabi ko kanina, ang

unang-unang prinsipyong dapat po na

lagi pong tatandaan pag in partnership po

with ADB at JICA ay yung “No Worse

Policy” na tinatawag nila. Dapat ang

kalagayan ng mga apektadong

mamamayan ng proyekto, informal settler

families man yan o mga legal property

owners ay hindi mas mababa sa

kasalukuyan nilang kalagayan. Kami po

ay mino-monitor po ng JICA at bahagi po

yan ng loan agreement. Kapag hindi po

kami nagco-comply na DOTr sa

guidelines ng ADB at JICA… So ang

nagbabantay po sa DOTr ay di lang po

DENR at EMB kung hindi ang JICA din

at ang ADB. Kapag hindi nakacomply

ang DOTr sa guidelines ng JICA at tsaka

ng ADB, hindi po magkakaron ng

proyekto. Kasi kasama po yon sa loan

agreement Ma’am.

Ms. Ledicia dela Cruz – GEOSPHERE

Technologies, Inc.

May idadagdag lang po ako Ma’am. Sa

NCIP po kasi, may proseso po na

nasimulan na. Nakipagcoordinate na po



ang ating JICA Design Team. Actually,

mayroon na po silang usapan na

magkakaron ng field investigation para

po masigurado talaga kung mayoon pong

overlap. Aware po ang DOTr at JDT po

nyan at kami po ay nainform na rin.

Darating po talaga sa panahon na

magkakaron po ng FBI. Alam ko na

proseso na po yon. Basta po may close

coordination po yon. Rest assured po na

lahat po ng requirements ay kino-comply

po ng proyektong ito.

Karagdagan lang po doon sa sinasabi

nila Sir kanina doon sa Brgy.

Quebiawan. Ang sinasabi po nila na

karagdagan lack of information,

mayroon pa pong di po nyo nasagot.

Yong sinasabi nyang how long sa

kaliwa at sa kanan kung ilang meters

yon. Hindi po nasagot yon.

Pangalawa po, ang sabi nyo po, isang

Feasibility Study. Siguro po, yong

existing na lang ang ating gagamitin.

Para wala po tayong tatamaan, wala na

pong maraming discussion. Di po ba?

Although, tayo po ay nasa hi-tech o

improvement ng ating bansa. Sana po,

wala na pong mahihirapan kung

sakaling matuloy po ang proyekto.

Bigyan niyo po sila ng complete na

what you have sa inyo pong Feasibility

Study para hindi na po magtatanong.

Ngayon po, yong existing po na lang

para po wala na pong problema. It is

going on improvement to a hi-tech para

po sa ikakaganda pero tignan pa rin

natin yong mga puso ng mga land

owners para po sa mismong kanilang

pagmamay-ari.

Mr. Danilo B. Manabat –

Bantay Bayan/Resident

of Barangay Quebiawan,

San Fernando


Regarding po sa una pong tanong yong

gaano po kalaki yong sakop ng right of

way ng existing PNR, nasagot ko po yon

kanina. Ang sabi ko po sa right of way po

ng PNR Sir, ang sabi ko po kanina ay 15

meters sa left, 15 meters sa right.

Sa pangalawang tanong po na bakit di na

lang po natin gamitin ang existing PNR,

in fact po, yong Feasibility Study po

natin ayon po yan sa existing PNR. Doon

po tayo nagbased ng Feasibility Study po

natin sa existing PNR. Now, yong

existing PNR po ay 15 meters sa left at

15 meters sa right. So yong pangatlong

katanungan ni Sir na bakit hindi na lang

gamitin, gagamitin naman po natin. Ang

gagawin lang po natin ay imamaximize

po namin sya. Bakit po 15 meters, bakit

sobrang lawak po? Kasi nga po, katulad

po ng sinabi ko kanina sa pagka-discuss

po regarding sa project, magkakaron po

tayo ng freight train. Yong freight train

po na yon ay yong cargo po yon. Hindi

lang po pang-commuter, may pang cargo

din po. Kaya po medyo malaki.

Gagamitin po ang existing right of way

ng PNR at mayroon din na mga narrow

po na alignment. Ang gagawin po natin,

since kukuha po tayo ng mas malaki dahil

po sa freight train, kaya kailangan po

naming bilhin. Iyon po yong sagot

regarding po sa right of way. Fifteen

meters po sya sa Feasibility Study based

on the existing PNR right of way.

Gagamitin po yan, ang gagawin lang po

ay papalawakin po yan kaya po may



inaacquire po kami na properties along

the existing kasi nga po palalawakin po

namin sya. Gagawin po naming 15

meters sa left, 15 meters sa right kasi po

magtatayo po tayo ng freight train in the

future.

Sir, saan po ba magstart ang 15 meters? Ms. Eda Chua – Resident

of Barangay Sta. Lucia,

San Fernando

Mr. Steven Racadio – DOTr

Kunwari po double track po ang riles

natin, sa gitna po siya Ma’am. Starting po

sa middle of the railway/railtrack,

magbibilang po kayo ng 15 meters sa

kaliwa, magbibilang po tayo ng 15 meters

sa kanan. Yon lang po sa right of way.

Iba rin po pag sa station natin. Pag sa

station po, 30 meters sa left. Mas malaki

po sa may station, 30 meters din po sa

right. Sa centerline po siya. Yon po ang

existing. Sa Feasibility Study po yon.

Kasi po doon po kami nagbased, as of

now. Kunwari po meron pong maraming

maaapektuhan, pwede naman pong

lumihis.

So as a mother, ako na lang po ang

natitira don. Yong anak ko na dalawa,

mula noong umalis sila, gusto na nilang

ipagbili ang bahay. Dahil po yong lupa

na yon ay government owned. So

pinamana ko sa bunso. Wala naman po

dito yong bunso, nasa Canada.

Ngayong nalaman nila ginagawa yung

railway natin doon, sabi ko sa kanila, di

naman nila ako sinisisi because

pinamana ko lang sa kanila yon. Sabi

nila ma, pinabibili na yan, at least yong

presyo mas malaki. Pero ngayon yong

doubt nila pag kinuha ng gobyerno,

mababawasan yong market value in

present time. Sabi ko sa kanila, based

sa discussion ninyo, ako naman

nagpapasalamat sa inyo. Kasi yong na

nasabi nyo na yong talagang presyo

yong binibigay ninyo. Salamat po sa

information na yon.

Ang concern ko ngayon, halimbawa

ako lang ay nasa kanto ng tapat ng

simbahan. Ang problema ko ngayon,

kung makukuha yong 15 meters from

the centerline, makukuha yong bahay

Ms. Natividad Mallari –

Resident of Purok 2,

Barangay Sta. Lucia, San

Fernando


Mrs. Mallari, kasi dalawa po yung tanong

niyo. Una, kung makakakuha po kayo ng

sapat at magandang presyo doon sa

lupain na ina-aquire ng gobyerno sa inyo,

pati po yung market value pinaka-

concern nyo. Pangalawa, yong property

niyo po ay baka di na po

mapakinabangan dahil kung malaki po

ang ina-aquire at yung natitira ay baka

ibenta niyo na lang po sa gobyerno.

Una po, mayroon po tayong batas na

bago with respect to right of way. Ito po

yong binabanggit ni Ms. Christina at Mr.

Mallari na RA 10752. Noon pong

nakaraang taon, siguro noong mga 2000

to 2005, ang nangyayari po na umiiral na

batas sa ating bansa ay ang batas na may

negotiation. Ngayon, nitong 2016,

naipasa na po ang bagong batas na Right

of Way Act na kung saan ang ibibigay na

presyo sa mga existing land owners ay

ang market value. Kung ikukumpara niyo

po sa nakaraan na talagang ididikit po

ang presyo. magkakaroon po ng offer,



ko, makukuha yong lupa ko, yong

garahe ng sasakyan, pagkatapos

makukuha yong bahay ko. Ang

hinahanap ko, kung ipagbili ko lahat

yon kukuhanin naman kaya ng

gobyerno? Dahil ayaw ko naman

tumira na wala naman akong space o

makuha ang kalahati ng bahay ko. Yon

lang yong tanong ko. Kung kunin nyo

na lang lahat pati ang bahay?

etc. Sa ngayon po, ang maibibigay ko po

sa inyong sagot ay ang market value po

ang ibibigay sa inyo ng gobyerno sa

inyong lupa.

Doon naman po tayo sa pangalawang

concern po. Mayroon po kayong property

na inaaquire, at malaki po ang iacquie sa

inyo, mayroon po tayong partner, ang

JICA, na kung saan minamandate po ng

JICA na ang DOTr, kung ang matitirang

property sa isang land owner, na hindi na

magagamit o di na mapapakinabangan o

wala na talagang economic value, at kung

ganoon na po talaga ang magiging

situation niyo, yong entirety na po ng

property ang bibilhin po ng DOTr.

Entire property, with the value of the

house, ganoon po?


Yes po. Considering or dapat po mayroon

po tayong test of viability. Yong sinabi

ko po kanina na kung hindi na po viable

ang property, kung ganoon po ang

mismong situation niyo, mabibili na po

yung entire property.

Good morning po, from SB Member

Minalin. For record purposes, sana po

iconsider po sana ang station sa

Minalin. Sana po magstudy muna tayo,

Feasibility Study, regarding po sa

traffic wag lang po sa Apalit and in San

Fernando. Kami po kasi sa Santo

Tomas at Minalin, kung wala po, baka

mahirapan din po kaming pumunta.

Ngayon po marami na po sasakyan ang

mga tao. Teachers lang po ngayon, may

sasakyan na. Dahil mura na po ang mga

sasakyan. Ngayon po, you have to

consider also in the feasibility study,

wag lang po mag-aalam, dapat actual.

Rush hour dapat nasa Apalit kayo, nasa

San Fernando kayo para makita niyo po

na mayroon parang alternate para

maiwasan ang traffic, meron tayong

terminal dito sa Minalin. Maluwang po

yong sa Minalin, maluwang na lupa

yon. Sana po, iconsider din po ninyo.

Malapit na po kami sa Guagua.

Approved na po ang last road exit sa

Express Way. Dapat nyo din po

Hon. Edgar Sitchon –

Municipal Councilor of

Minalin


Regarding po doon sa sinabi niyo,

mayroon na po kaming naencounter na

incident kagaya niyan. Regarding po

doon sa Sto. Tomas, nakita niyo po sa

presentation namin na wala po tayong

station doon diba? Nagreklamo po sa

amin ang mga taga Sto. Tomas. Bakit

wala kaming station, madaming tao dito

na daily commuters din. Tapos ang

nirequire po ng DOTr sa kanila,

magpresent po kayo ng parang design o

Engineering Design from your office,

from the office of the Sto. Tomas.

Ipresent niyo po sa amin at iconsider po

namin sya.

Regarding po dito sa Minalin, pumunta

po kayo sa local engineering office, tapos

magpresent po kayo sa amin. Open

naman po ang office. Kasi po ang ginawa

po namin, nagbased din po kami sa

demand value ng ADB at JICA, kaya

doon po kami kukuha ng station.



iconsider yan para po madala sa

Feasibility Study. For record purposes.

Yan lang po, Sir.

Regarding po sa Sto. Tomas, nagpresent

po sila ng data sa amin, iconsider din po

namin ang Sto. Tomas. Pero regarding po

dyan, open po ang DOTr.

From Mabalacat po kami sa Barangay

Tabun. Ang concern lang po namin ay

gusto po naming malaman kung yong

area po ba namin… Dati po kasi,

nawash out po kami sa lahar, tapos

narelocate po kami sa resettlement.

Noong medyo nakabangon na po ang

barangay namin, bumalik po kami sa

area kung saan po kami nalahar.

Kasalukuyan po, doon kami

naninirahan. Pero yong tinatayuan po

ng bahay namin, yon daw po yong

sinasabing railway. Bale kung paano po

kami napunta doon, under ng NHA yon

po yong binigay na lupa sa amin. Ang

gusto lang po naming malaman, kung

doon po ba talaga. Ilang percent po ba

na doon pa din po ang gagamitin kung

sakaling iconstruct na po talaga ang

PNR?

So yung bahay po namin ay nadoon din

po and then yung barangay hall din po

namin. Siguro gusto lang po namin

malaman kung paano po ba, kung may

relocation po ba? Babayaran po ba?

Yong isinasagot kasi po samin Informal

Settlers po kami, wala kaming

karapatan magtayo ng bahay doon. Yon

po yong inaano po namin. Mayroon po

bang tulong na mangyayari o mayroon

po bang relocation doon sa area na yon

or mas maganda po ilihis na lang ng

PNR.

Hon. Gennalyn Pascual –

Barangay Councilor of

Tabun, Mabalacat


Alam mo Ma’am, sa lahat ng projects, po

kasi nakatutok po kami sa subway at sa

North 1. Ang lahat po ng nirerequest ng

mga tao ay kung pwede ilihis yong

project at hindi sila tamaan. Sa totoo

lang, kung pwede lang talaga sana

paganun-ganun. Kaya lang electrified

kasi yong ating tren, as much as possible

dapat walang masyadong kurba, straight

line lang siya.

But Ma’am ganito po yun ano, dahil kami

po ay obligado na sumunod sa R.A.

10752, may sinasabi po siya tungkol sa

ISF. Dalawa po ang batas na

promoprotekta sa mga ISF, ang R.A

10752 at 7279. Sabi po doon sa 10752,

basta nasa panahon na kayo ay nasasakop

ng cut-off date, pag cut-off date yon yong

panahon na pinuntahan na kayo ng DOTr

at imarka sa inyo na kayo ay potentially

affected. Nagcount na po kami doon. Pag

kayo ay nakatayo doon, at kayo ay

kwalipikado according sa 7279, malaki

ang chance na magkaroon kayo ng

resettlement o relocation. Pero kung kayo

ay nagpatayo ng bahay pagkatapos ng

cut-off date, ay Ma’am di na kayo

nasama doon. Malamang, sabi mo nga

hindi pa naman kayo nasusurvey doon, di

pa naman kayo iniinterview. Basta kung

kwalipikado ka sa R.A 7279, kung

kwalipikado po kayo sa binabanggit

doon, malaki po ang chance na

mapapasok po kayo doon sa list of

entitled for resettlement or relocation.

Tatamaan po ang bahay namin. Yong

subdivision po namin, lahat po halos ng

mga taga doon ay mga government

employee. Ako po ay retired

government employee. Fifteen (15)

years na po kami na nakatira doon sa

bahay namin. Kung 15 meters po from

Mr. Eric Gonzales –


Baliti, San Fernando


Una po, meron po kayong bahay na

nakalagay sa lote ng GSIS village, tama

po ba? Ngayon, yong pinakaconcern niyo

po ay ang inyong lupa sa village ay nasa

development. Ngayon po ganito po ang



left and right, nasa right side po yong

bahay namin. Mauubos po lahat

hanggang sa kalahati pa lang ng kalsada

namin.

Kasi government employees po kami,

GSIS po ang housing loan namin. So

ang tanong ko po, hindi pa po natatapos

ang housing loan namin, at naka-15

years na kami so continue pa rin po

yon. Papano po, sino po ang

magcocoordinate ng estado ng payment

namin sa GSIS or kayo po ba, ang JICA

o DOTr ang makikipagcoordinate sa

kanila para istop yong payment?

Babayaran po ba ang nabayad na po

namin sa GSIS? Kung irerelocate niyo

po kami, dadalhin niyo po kami sa mga

bahay na dikit-dikit. Ayaw ko po yon.

Ang gusto ko po, ako ang pipili ng

bahay na titirahan ko. Wish ko lang po,

sana kung pwede po bayaran yong

bahay naming or ang existing loan sa

GSIS. Kung mababayaran in-cash ang

utang naming na P800,000. So siguro

po, yong bahay po kasi dalawang lote

yon. Ako lang po halos ang may bahay

doon. Yong tanong ko lang po, kung

sana isusurvey niyo kami, iba-iba po

yung treatment kasi mayroon pong

bahay doon na hindi naman sa kanila.

Kinuha lang yong parang tinirhan doon.

Mayroon din pong squatters na di

naming alam kung bakit nakatira doon.

So kailan niyo kami talaga ililipat?

Kailan ang project magsisimula? Kasi

po kung irerelocate po kami, itigil po

yung payment namin sa GSIS, siguro

po maiclarify niyo po ang process ng

payment namin or may

makikipagcoordinate. Ayaw ko po

marelocate doon sa tabi-tabi po kasi

dati po mayroon kaming naririnig na

ang bahay namin sa Sto. Tomas

irelocate po. Yong mga kapitbahay

namin ay narelocate sa hindi

magandang lugar. So sana po

pagbutihin nyo. Request ko din po,

nakatira po ako ngayon sa barangay

Baliti. Mayroon po kaming regional

office doon sa Pampanga. Sana

iconsider niyo din na maglagay ng

mangyayari, makikipagcoordinate po

tayo sa GSIS, magkakaroon po tayo ng

separate na Memorandom of Agreement

kung saan ang DOTr po ay magbabayad

ng market value sa GSIS.



terminal doon sa Del Rosario area.

Kasi po noong may dumating na

naglagay ng sticker na dilaw, may mga

nag-interview doon sa amin. Actually,

yong lote ko, nasa pangalan ng bunso.

Yon ang sinabi ko sa kanila noong

tinanong kung kaninong lote yon. From

the start, sa akin po yon pero trinansfer

ko kasi so you would know. Ang

tanong po nila sakin, yong mga tanim

po ikoconsider din daw po yon. Tapos

yong pader at yong garahe ko I spent

almost 50,000, bago po yon pati yong

bagong yero. Yon po ang sinabi nila

sakin na ikoconsider din nila yon kung

15 meters ang kukunin nila.

Ms. Natividad Mallari –

Resident of Purok 2,

Barangay Sta. Lucia, San

Fernando


Pag sinabi po nating building and other

improvements, kasama po yon kahit

posonegro, yong kulungan ng baboy po,

yong pader. Yong mga ganoon,

babayaran po yon, at least current market

value. Kaya ito po yong nakalimutan

naming banggitin kanina, yong sa mga

may concern na “yong structure namin 15

years ago” kahit 1922 yan, yong structure

mo, kung ano yong current market value.

Yong presyo nya sa kasalukuyan, at

ipapatayo niyo din po siya na ganun na

ganun yung itsura dahil mahal na mahal

mo ang itsura ng bahay mo at kung ano-

ano po ang nasa loob ng bahay mo. Yon

yong babayaran sa inyo, current market

value.

Pero may kinukwento ka na yong lot mo

ay nakapangalan sa anak ninyo na nasa

Canada. Syempre, nakakaawa naman siya

na pauuwiin mo dahil kakailanganin.

Magpapagawa po tayo ng Special Power

of Attorney para kung sino po yung

utorisadong makausap namin, yun din po

yung kakausapin namin.

Uuwi po siya sa June next year 2019.

Pero ang mga anak ko po, kahit

ibinigay na sa kanila, dahil ako’y

naghirap para sa pinamana ko sa kanila

na lupa o ano. Wala po silang pakialam

sa pera ko. Mga very good children,

almost 30 years akong nagtrabaho hindi

ko kasama mga anak ko. Ganoon man

they’re on the right path. So, kung yan

po ang hinihingi ninyo, walang wala po

yon. Sila na ang gustong ipamili ang

bahay. Wala po akong maano sa kanila

kasi sinasabi nila na “Ma, bakit hindi

mo pa ipamili yan”.

Maganda po ang ugali ng mga anak ninyo

so meaning mabuti ang pagpapalaki sa

kanila. Congratulations po. Natutuwa po

kami, kasi parang exited po kayo na

ibenta ang property niyo sa amin.

Hintayin lang po natin kapag na survey

na, na parcillary survey na, na-appraise

na po yung property. Uunahin ka namin

kasi excited ka na. Sige po Salamat.

Ma’am, ang request lang namin, can we

ask for the exact sukat? Kasi especially

for Barangay Malabañas, pagka may

nag ask ng building permit samin, at

yon pala ay masasama baka kami’y

sisihin. Nagbigay kami ng permit,

kasama pala doon sa ano. So, can we

Mr. Jocel Sarmiento –

CAO III of Angeles City


Ang kalalabasan noon, hanggat walang

final na alignment, ito medyo mahirap

nang sagutin. Yong intirpretasyon natin

dyan, sabi kasi sa batas, once nag Notice

of Taking, obligado ang host LGU o local



ask sa exact na sukat para hindi namin

mabigyan ng mga permit yong mga

nag-aask doon. Kasi baka kami’y

sisihin na kasama pala sa project.

government units na hindi na mag-issue

ng building permits. No improvements,

no construction, wala na dapat ganoon.

Kasi property na siya ng government. So

ngayon Sir, sa ngayon tayo ay nasa-

Feasibility Study. So, pag pinigilan po

natin sila na wag magtayo, tapos sa final

design pala ay hindi sila sakop, e di

magagalit sila sa atin. So, Sir ganito, ang

pinakasafe diyan hanggat hindi namin

nadidistribute yung Notice of Taking

parang ang ibig sabihin ay everything is

okay pa. Pero once we give o na

distribute na po ang Notice of Taking,

obligado na hindi po tayo mag-issue ng

development permits. Sir kung wala

naman siya sa riles, saka na po natin sila

bigyan ng permits kasi imamaximize po

natin ang PNR Right of Way mas

maganda po kung maunahan po natin sila

na.

Kung nasa tabi siya ng riles, alam naman

natin na sa 30 meters ay papasok siya

malamang gagastos lang siya ng malaki,

mahirap yon.

Papano po ang mode of payment doon

sa tinamaan ang lote? Babayaran po ba

agad? Before the preconstruction of the

riles? Halimbawa po yong sa status po

na may nakatayong bahay doon sa way

for example may nakatira doon sa

tatamaan na establishment.

Mr. Jude Aldara –


Sta. Lucia, San Fernando


Regarding po sa payment sa lupa, nasa

policy po talaga ng DOTr yong sa taking

of land including po ang structure. Yong

sa policy po talaga ng DOTr is kung sino

nakapangalan ang titulo yon po ang

babayaran po namin kasi po baka ma-

COA po kami kasi lalabas kami ng pera.

Now, pag kayo po ang may-ari ng lupa at

hindi po nailipat sa inyo. Tutulungan po

naming kayo na maibigay ang documents

na hinihingi ng DOTr, tapos kasama po

kami sa pagpaprocess. Kumbaga

tutulungan po kayo naming sa pagprocess

ng documents para nailipat doon sa

pangalan niyo.

Pero ang suggestion ko lang po kung

maiestimate lang po na matatamaan

pwede na po masimulan para pagdating

po ng transaction natin mabilis po. Kasi

ganito po yan sa mode of payment Sir,

50% po yong maibibigay tapos pag

nailipat na po ang pangalan ng lupa sa



pangalan ng DOTr saka po makukuha

ang remaining 50%, sa land po yong

sinasabi ko, sa structure. Mayroon naman

kaming sinusuggest na special cases po

na magiging further arrangement na lang

po yong transaction. Kunyari Sir yung

lupa sakin nakapangalan, ako po ang

tatanggap ng pera tapos ibibigay ko na

lang po sa inyo.

What if wala na po ang may-ari ng

lupa? Patay na.

Yon po Sir meron po kaming settlement.

Ililipat naming ang pangalan ng previous

owner sa pangalan niyong owner. Yong

iba doon sa subway, majority ng cases po

namin is kung papano po naming ililipat

ang pangalan ng isang patay.

Sa structure po, sa riles po namin dun po

yong basis ng mode of payment. Kung

sino po yong may-ari with respect to

structure kasi yong mode of payment

natin ay 70% makukuha niyo po agad.

Ang tanong po sa amin, sino po ang

magdidemolish? Kasi sayang po ang

lababo, ang inudoro sa structure para

kung meron pwede pong isasalvage,

pwede din pong kunin.

Sir pag yong tatamaang lote ng owner

ay business po siya, katulad po sa Amin

is computer shop sa bahay. Papano po

siya?

Sir sa mga succeeding meetings po natin,

doon po masasagot. Kunwari po, yong

mga nagtitinda ng buko sa tabi-tabi, yong

mga nagbebenta ng halo-halo. Kasi po

ngayon, mismong project po ng DOTr,

pero iyon po sa mga succeeding meetings

na po natin.

Ano po kaya ang mangyayari sa

pakikipag-usap po sa mga land owners

ano po kaya ang mangyayari?

Sa individuals po kasi gusto namin, in

fact, mas gusto nga po namin ang face-to-

face na makausap po. Kasi po once po na

makasurvey kami, yon po bibigyan po

kayo namin ng sulat. Minsan pag walang

tao doon, binabalikan pa po namin.

Kami po sa Barangay Sta. Lucia,

narinig lang po namin na may meeting

po. Wala pong humarap sa amin na

“matatamaan ka sa riles”, wala pong

ganyan.

Sa mga succeeding po baka mayroon.

Paparating po natin sa LGU.

Sir, kaya pumunta po ako is gusto ko

lang po talagang malaman kung saan po

tagalaga dadaan ang alignment. Yong

Hon. Jerry P. Magsino –



Atty. John Eduard Ang – EMB Central

Office



sinasabi nila, narinig na namin yan

Ma’am. Medyo bilisan nyo po ang

alignment talaga. Kasi kung dadaan po

talaga sa mismong alignment. Sana

kahit na unofficial, ibigay nyo po sa

amin para magkaron po kami ng idea.

Noted po yun Sir.

Actually, Secretary ako kaya nagtataka

ako kanina sa sinabi na sa constituent

po namin na hindi siya nainform.

Actually, nainform ako kahapon na si

Kap pa yung nagsabi sa akin. Sabi niya

iinform, especially ang nakatira.

Pinuntahan po naming pero wala pong

tao sa bahay nila kaya hindi nasabihan.

Pero basically nainform sila. Pero kasi

ang explanation sa amin, bawat bahay

lahat ng questions inientertain nila. If

50% ng bahay mo o lot mo ay

maaapektuhan, yon po yong iaacquire

ng government.

Ang tanong ko lang. kasi yong side

samin ng riles property ng Saint

Scholastica, may mga business at

schools na affected. How long na

malalaman namin kung sino talaga ang

mga affected na tatamaan ng PNR?

Ms. Bernadette Besañez

– Barangay Secretary of

Quebiawan, San

Fernando


Yong sa 50% po, hindi po kami sure

kung kanino nyo narinig ang information

regarding sa 50% na kung kunwari

apektado ang 50%, kukunin na ang lote

nyo ng DOTr. SabI nga po kanina, hindi

pa po nafafinalize yon. Saka pa po namin

sasabihin sa succeeding meetings.

Sa second question, yong 30 meters po ba

sa isang side lang po? Kaya po tayo

nandito para marelay din po sa iba. Ang

ginagawa po naming feasibility study is

yong basis din po namin kung

compatible. Kasi may mga instances sa

Manila na nagshare po ang Right of Way

ng DPWH at SLEX sa ROW ng PNR.

Ang ginawa po namin ay nilihis po

namin. Matatapos po ang feasibility po

namin at the end of this year which is

December po. Yon po yong sinusundan

naming timeline.

Barangay Captain po ng Anupol.

Narinig ko po kanina na dadaan po

sya ng Sto. Niño, San Vicente

pagkatapos po Capas na. Sa Barangay

Anupol po kaya di po ba sya dadaan?

Hon. Jose M. Salting, Jr.

- Barangay Chairman of

Anupol/ABC President

Ms. Karla Escober – DOTr

Kanina po sa mapa nakasulat po doon ang

barangays with the boundaries in black at

name po ng mga barangay. Ang alignment

po natin ay dadaan po sa kaliwa ng Anupol.

Sa San Vicente at Sto. Niño po ang

alignment.

Sa tingin ko po hindi pweding hindi

dumaan ng Anupol. Kasi ang

boundary po ng Anupol ay Zambales

na po. Pagkatapos po dumaan ng Sto.

Niño, Anupol na po yon, tapos Capas

na.


Maari po kayang i-show po ang mapa

kanina. Hindi po eksaktong Capas yung

magiging station. Tandaan po natin na may

old PNR po sa Capas. Inilihis po natin sya

pakaliwa.

Ito po and jurisdiction ni Sto. Niño, ito

pong pula. Ito po si Anupol. Tama po ba,

may boundary po sya sa Sto. Niño at San

Vicente doon sa bandang western boundary

po nya? Ito po ang dating alignment ni

PNR. Itong proposed na alignment po,

aakyat po sya mula Mabalacat then lilihis

na po sya pakaliwa papuntang San Vicente.

Actualy hindi po matataman si Lourdes.

Lilihis na po sya pakaliwa papuntang Sto.

Niño and then papunta po dito sa NCC

Station na Malapit po sa Cristo Rey.

Base po sa mapa, dito po si Anupol at dito

po ang proposed na alignment. Dito po sa

Bamban, ang mga madadaanan po nating

mga Barangay ay San Vicente at Sto.

Tomas.

Kung ganoon po, wala pong dadaan

sa Anupol?


Sa alignment po ngayon, wala po. Very far

from west pa po.



Kasi po ang Sto. Niño at Anupol,

magkatabi po yan. Hindi po tayo

pupweding pumunta sa Capas na

hindi po tayo dadaan sa Anupol.

Dito po ang San Vicente at Sto. Niño,

bundok po yon. Pagbaba po natin

dito, Anupol na po kaagad yon. Hindi

po pweding pumunta kaagad ng

Capas na di dadaan ng Anupol.


Icorrect ko lang po na pagsinabi ko pong

Capas, hindi po mismo sa old Capas PNR

station. Bali yon po ang dating daan ni

PNR na dumadaan din po dito po sa

bandang to. Sa alignment po ngayon,

ililihis po natin sa kaliwa. Unang-una dahil

marami na pong development dito na ayaw

po nating matamaan ng riles.

Matagal na po kami dito. Hindi ka

pweding pumunta sa Capas, na di

dadaan sa Anupol. Ang pagkakaalam

ko po, Sto. Niño, Anupol, Capas na

po.


Sir, yong kinukwento nyo po ay tungkol po

sa Anupol. Sa second phase po sya from

Clark International Airport papuntang

NCC. Hindi pa po sya ngayon nakalapat.

Sya po ay sa detailed design pa po natin

malalaman. Iverify pa po natin Sir. Once

po matapos yung verification process, tsaka

po natin matitiyak kung natamaan po dyan

na portion o wala. So, hintay-hintayin

nalang po natin Sir.

Ako po si Salvador Patangul ng

Bamban.

Kasi po ang dadaanan nyan, San

Vicente, Anupol, Cutcut 1st, tapos

Aranguren na po. Ayan po ang mga

taga Aranguren.

Mr. Salvador Patangul

- Resident of Barangay

Dela Cruz, Bamban

Ako po si Kagawad Marilou Rivera

ng Cristo Rey.

Itatanong ko lang po Atty., kasi yung

area po ng Barangay Cristo Rey ay

puro residential po. Paano po ang

gagawin sa mga road po o sa mga

tatamaan na bahay?

Hon. Marilou Rivera –


Cristo Rey, Capas

Mr. Felipe Mallari, III – DOTr

Yong basis po ng mga matataman Sir, saan

po yon nanggagaling? Yong basis nyo po

ba ay yong existing PNR alignment?

Kasi po Sir, regarding po sa feasibility

study. Again po, sa feasibility study po

tayo, tulad ng sabi ni Ms. Karla na kasama

namin dito. Nasa feasibility study palang

po tayo. Kung baga, pinag-aaralan pa po

natin ang mga section po.

Pero kung natanong nyo po ay kung may

matatamaan at kung ano ang mangyayari sa

matatamaan? Yon po ba ang tanong nila

Sir?

Opo, kasi puro po residential ang

Cristo Rey.

Mr. Felipe Mallare, III – DOTr

Ganito po yan Sir. Pag gumawa po kami or

pag natuloy po itong proyekto, itong riles.

Mayroon po kaming agreement with JICA

di po ba? Kasi po si JICA ang magpopondo

nitong proyektong ito. Mayroon po kaming

tinatawag na mga environmental

considerations. Mayroon din po kaming



tinatawag na social considerations.

Mayroon din pong tinatawag na human

considerations.

Kung baga, pag may tatamaan po kaming

affected persons or affected lots, ang

gagawin po namin ay bibigyan po namin

sila ng environmental at social

considerations. Kasi, pag hindi po namin

iconsider yon, hindi po kami ipafunding ng

Japan.

Also, ang policy ni Japan po o ni JICA, we

have this policy of “No Worse Policy”.

Kung baga, pag iresettle natin sila, yong

mga naaapektuhan, dapat parehas ang

kalagayan nila after na maresettle sila o

mas mapapaganda pa ang buhay nila.

Good morning po sa ating lahat.

Punong Barangay po ng Aranguren.

Kaya lang by June 30 ay hindi na. So,

ang concern ko ay yong sa Barangay

Aranguren. Since yong New Clark

City ay part sya ng Barangay

Aranguren. Kung tatamaan po o

dadaan po doon, doon ba sa proper ng

Aranguren matatamaan o possible ba

na madadaan ng PNR?

Hon. Estella Manlupig

– Barangay Chairman

of Aranguren, Capas


Ayon po dito sa feasibility design natin,

matataman po sya.

Yong New Clark City kasi, located

sya sa isang Purok namin. Sa may

Purok 6. Ang tanong ko ang barangay

proper ba bago makarating ng New

Clark City, ay tatamaan?


Ang purpose po kung bakit kami nandito is

to inform the project itself lang po.

Yong New Clark City po kasi, ito po ang

pinakalast stage ng study namin. Kaya wala

po kami masyadong information na

ginagawa. Ang marami pong information

related sa design namin ay ang sa baba, sa

Bulacan na side, pataas.

Nakaattend na po ba kayo ng first

coordination meeting o ito po ang first

time? First time po ito. Meron pa po

kaming mga succeeding meetings after po

nito. Doon po sa mga succeeding meetings,

iexplain po namin ang mga detailed

engineering design, kung ano po mismo

ang mga barangays na affected, ano po

yong mga entitlement packages, at kung

ano po ang mga batas na proprotekta po sa



inyo. Pero, dito po sa meeting na ito ay

project overview lang po.

Pero sa feasibility study, in general po, may

tatamaan po talaga. Hindi lang po natin

alam o mapinpoint kung saan po within the

barangay po.

Pasensya na po. Pero sa mga succeeding

meeting po, masasagot po yan.

Yon lang po ang concern namin. In

fact, nong nag EIA kayo, dumaan sila

sa barangay. Inassist pa namin ng

mga kasama kong kagawad ang mga

subcon ninyo.


Usually Ma’am, pag may mga ganitong

meetings, pinadadaan po talaga namin sa

mga LGUs.

Kaya nama’y nagtatanong kaming

apat na barangay from Capas, para

naman mainform kami regarding this

project. Para sa pag uwi namin, kahit

papano, meron kaming maibabalita.


By December or January po matatapos na

po ang ating feasibility study. So, by

December or January po, magkakaroon po

ulit tayo ng ganito Ma’am. Pwede nyo po

ulit yon itanong Ma’am.

Yong sinasabi nyo na pag irelocate

sila, mas maganda pa ang malilipatan.

Sana nga po.


Hindi lang po ang malilipatan Ma’am, pati

po ang overall condition po ng kabuhayan

nila, mas gaganda pa po.

Ang pangalan ko po ay Anastacio

Mirag ng Barangay Dela Cruz.

Meron po kayong hindi nasama sa

project na ginawa nyo kanina. Alam

naman po nating lahat na ang MRT at

LRT ay panay sira. Paano po

naoperate na yan at nasira sa lugar na

yan tapos nakasakay kami. Papaano

po ang gagawin ninyo?

Mr. Anastacio Mirag –


Dela Cruz, Bamban


Regarding po sa MRT/LRT, ganito po. So

far, as our train station is concern, makikita

nyo naman po, previously Sir, kung

nanonood po kayo ng balita. Ilan po ang

pinakakunting tren na dumadaan sa MRT

po?

Pito lang po ang tumatakbong tren sa MRT

dati. Alam nyo po ba kung ilan na ngayon?

Ngayon po ay 18 trains na po kami. Ilan

lang po ang unloading incidents namin

simula ng nagtake-over si Sec. Tugade? Di

po lalagpas ng sampu yan. Tapos meron

din po tayo previously na unloading

incidents na I think it lasted for almost two

months. So, Sir, di po namin sinasabi na

maganda yan, walang problema yan.

Magkakaroon po talaga ng problema yan

pero at our best efforts po, ginagawa po



talaga namin ang lahat.

Regarding po sa PNR o sa project na to,

magkakaroon po kami ng Public

Consultation. Tsaka Sir, ang gagawa po

talaga nito ay ang Japan. Alam naman po

natin kung paano mag trabaho ang Japan at

kung papano po ang quality at standards

from Japanese at yung mga produkto nya.

Regarding sa kung paano pag nasiraan

while traveling, inaassume po namin sa

DOTr na sana po wag na mangyari yon.

Halimbawa nga po nangyari na na

nasira. Ano po ang gagawin? Hindi

po natin masigurado na walang

masisira dyan.


Bali pagnasisira po ang train, yong

pagkadesign po natin ng mga riles natin ay

mayroon po syang mga walkway kung saan

po pweding bumaba ang mga tao. May

sumusundo po yan minsan na train o

vehicle na dumadaan mismo sa riles para

matulungan ang mga tao nandoon.

Meron po kaming malilipatan na

sasakyan?

Ito po ay kapag huminto ang train ay may

malilipatan po doon sa riles?

Ganoon po ang nangyayari. It is either

maglalakad po along the tracks to the

nearest station or may sumusundo po na

sasakyan.

Kasama na rin po yan sa preconstruction

phase. Na yong plano po na gagawin ay

pati yung safety at emergency procedure.

Maglalatag pa po tayo ng procedures kung

paano irescue ang mga tao at kung paano

hihilahin ang tren pabalik sa depot.

Sir, sabi nyo po nasa feasibility stage

palang po tayo. So, from Sto. Niño,

San Vicente, apparently, dadaan po

kayo ng Lourdes, San Nicolas, San

Roque and Anupol. Sabi nyo nga,

wala pa yong details natin.

Ma’am, Correct me if I’m wrong.

nabanggit nyo po kanina na sa

Bamban, wala kaming station?

Hon. Johnny M. Sales

– Municipal Councilor

of Bamban


Technologies, Inc.

Opo. Sa ngayon.

Yes Ma’am. Nakakalungkot naman.

Dadaan kayo ng Bamban, wala




kaming station?

Kung sakali po, it is just sabi nyo nga,

feasibility studies. Dadaan lang kayo

sa amin, parang hello? Gaganon

nalang kami sa inyo di ba?

Parang ang layo layo namin from

Clark. Tapos dito pa sa New Clark

City, which is apparently, narinig nyo

naman si Mayor kanina. Twenty

thousand from Air Force, dadalhin sa

taas. Why don’t you or the

management could consider na

maglagay na rin po doon sa Anupol,

which doon po ilalagay ang mga Air

Force men natin.

Kasi ako po, personally, at ang mga

kasama ko dito, meron po kaming

Dapdap Resettlement. Mga 15,000 to

20,000 families kami dyan. Kung

aakyat ka doon sa Anupol, siguro mga

15 to 20 minutes, madali na po yon.

Pero kung wala kaming station dito,

sabi nga ni Ma’am, 30 minutes lang

to one hour na sa Malolos ka na.

From Dapdap, pupunta ka ng Clark,

magspend ka ng mga 40 minutes. So,

from Clark to Malolos, magspend ka

ng almost diba? So, can you consider

na magkaroon din po kmi ng station

dito sa Bamban?

Kasi po, paano naman dadaan kayo sa

bayan naming, tapos wala kaming

station man lang. Paano namin ma

feel ang air condition na train natin.

Sir, bale yon po ang pinakamagandang

bahagi sa project na to with JICA and

ADB. Kaya tayo may mga consultations,

kasi ang isang reason talaga dyan ay para

marinig po natin ang feedback ng mga

affected LGUs at mga affected na mga tao.

Tamang-tama po tayo po ay nasa

feasibility, pero di ko sinasabi Sir na sige

patayo po tayo ng station. Mayroon po

tayong tatlong tinitingnan pag naglalagay

po tayo ng development sa isang lugar lalo

na sa riles. Titingnan po natin yong

ridership or gaano ang bulto ng pasahero.

Yung pangalawa, yong impact sa

environment. Kung wala bang masisira.

Baka mamaya may mga mahahalagang

mineral dyan kapag tinayuan natin ng

station. So, pag-aaralan po yan lahat. At

yong pangatlo ay yung bahagi na cost.

Titingnan kung may malaking isturbo sa

lupa pag itinayo ang station. Pag-aaralan

din po natin yon.

Pero ang mahalagang tingnan natin, since

nilabas ni Bamban na icheck kung feasible

maglagay ng station. Sasabihin po natin

yan sa management at sa design team kung

pupwede syang tingnan.

Tapos sa binanggit ni Sir kanina na oo nga

paano kung ang tren ay nasiraan? Mayroon

po tayong TOD o yung Transit Oriented

Development. Magandang input Sir ang

sinabi nyo na oo nga no, ano ang gagawin?

So, titingan natin ang TOD ng bawat

station at magandang isama yan sa plano,

sa technical designs. Paano ang gagawing

pagrescue ng TOD? Tulad ng sinabi ni Ms.

Karla na mismo kung nasa gitna ka ng haba

ng riles. Paano sasagutin sya ng TOD?

Salamat sa po sa input. I-feedback po

naming yan sa technical design team.

Doon po sa sabi nyo Ma’am na first

doon po sa volume ng populace. Sabi

nga ni Mayor, 2022, marami na

tayong Air Force dyan. Siguro sa land

based, sa nutrients sa soil, wala

naman pong problema kasi tested

naman yon Sir. Tapos po sa fund,

funded naman ng JICA, which is


Regarding dyan Sir, meron din po kaming

naexperience na ganyan. Kasi mayroong

nagsuggest din po sa Sto. Tomas,

Pampanga. Bakit daw po wala silang

stations doon? Kung baga napakalaking

development at congested daw ang mga tao



apparently nga ay talagang

magboboom. So ngayon po, in behalf

of our beloved Mayor Feliciano,

siguro po igagarantya na gugustuhin

din po nya na magkaroon din kami ng

terminal dito sa Anupol.

nila. Bale kinonsider din po namin sila.

Pinag-aralan din po namin kung pupwede

din pong magtayo ng stations doon sa Sto.

Tomas.

Ganoon din po ang ginagawa namin sa

ibang mga nag-suggest. Usually po, ang

ginagawa po namin, since ito pong mga

station namin ay based po sa demand study.

Since may additional data or information

po kayo sa inyong office regarding traffic at

ridership. Pwede nyo po kaming lapitan.

Tapos kinokonsider po namin yan lahat. In

fact, mayroon nanaman po kami kahapon.

Sa Minalin din po may nagtanong kung

bakit wala silang station. Ganun din po,

mag-bibigay din po sila ng data at iconsider

po namin yon.

Yung pinag-uusapan po ba natin na

tren ay parang trolley o nasa taas ba

yan? If that would be the case. Ano ba

ang mga disturbance? Gaya ng

Anupol kanina, sabi nila hindi

dadating ng Capas na hindi dadaan.

What if pag dumaan nga? Dadaanan

ang lugar nila. Papaano po yon? May

disturbance ba yong tao?



of Aranguren, Capas


Regarding po sa kung nasa taas po ang

tren. Meron po kaming pinakita kanina na

distance kung gaano kahaba or kung gaano

kakipot. Usually po, yong viaduct po talaga

yong primary choice po namin ng

alignment.

Regarding po sa kung may disturbance po.

Mayroon pong study na naconduct yong sa

Environmental po natin. Yon nga po

medyo mataas po yong ingay na nakukuha

within this particular type of area.


Mayroon po tayong Traffic Management

Study. Yong Traffic Management na

ginagawa sa bawat project at ito po ay

directly in coordination with the LGU. Kasi

kung may mga ganoon pong mga

pangangailangan, titingnan po ang plano ng

DOTr sa riles. At ano yong plano baka

makasagasa sya o kung may future plans

ang mga LGUs. Usually po ang tinitingnan

dyan ay yong daanan o access roads para sa

mga tao.

Mayroon pong sapat na vertical clearance

sa mga viaduct, yong kinukweto kanina na

elevated at bukas ang ilalim. May enough

na vertical clearance na kung maiiwasan

ang paghukay sa ilalim ng kalsada,



gagawin po yon para sa access ng mga tao.

At by the way Sir, maganda talaga yong

concern mo. Di ako maka get over doon sa

concern mo na magkaroon ng station.

Ganito nalang Sir. Since tayo ay nasa

feasibility study. Maganda po siguro na ang

LGU nyo ay magbigay ng proposal or

request para mapag-usapan.

Sir, FYI lang po. Kasi currently, last

month pala, nag mapping po kami at

yong main purpose nyan ay para nga

sa mga development for this area

particular doon sa may NCC. For

sure, kinokonsider naman sa design

yong mga hazards. Early next year,

marerelease na yan. So, for this year,

ang mga hazard maps natin ay for

technical review palang. Early next

year, pwede nyo na yon gamitin as

your basis sa mga design po ninyo.

Ms. Margarita P. Dizon

– Representative from

PHIVOLCS

DOTr

Thank you po.

Sir, dahil nasa feasibility study palang

naman. Ibig sabihin, at the end of this

year, December probably,

magkakaroon pa po ba ng another

hearing para sa final result ng ating

feasibility study?

Mr. Ju-Arthur Ceuz -

PCUP


Yes po Sir. Magkakaroon pa pong final.

Actually Sir, mayroon po kaming three

coordination meetings po. Yong unang

coordination meeting natin sa mga affected

stakeholders, ito nga ipinapakita po natin

yung project.

Yong second po, ipapakita po namin yong

mga legal frameworks kung ano ang mga

batas. Kasama na po doon yung medyo...

hindi pa po masyadong detailed yon pero

mas detailed po kaysa dito sa kung ano po

ang mga affected na barangays.

Yong third po, yong mga entitlements at

kung anong barangay ang talagang

maapektuhan. Doon din po ipapakita kung

ano tagala ang detailed design namin.

Since matatapos po ang feasibility study,

baka by December or January po,

magkakaroon po yan, mga tatlo po sila.

Kanina po nabanggit na 2022, doon

palang makakaavail ng ticket. So,

four years from now.

Hon. Johnny M. Sales

– Municipal Councilor

of Bamban


Actually Sir, yong four years na yon,

medyo tight pa po kami.



Yung ticket ba natin ay parang eco

friendly sya na mura?


Sir, regarding po sa ticket natin, alam nyo

po ba yong beep cards? Ayon po, ginagawa

po namin na beep card nalang po para

universal po.

In fact po Sir, may kinakabit po kami sa

toll gate. Ayon po, gagawin po naming

universal na ang ticketing system natin.

Makakaavail na po ba kami ng ticket.

Mas maganda naman kung advance

tayo.


Sir, di po ako nagkakamali, may mga

loading stations na po tayo sa mga malls.

Mayroon din po sa online at sa mobile

phones.

Si Kapitan Maruglo, si Kapitan

Gawat, sya ang pinakadulo kasi na

naidentified. Nagtanong si Sir kanina

ng Bamban na kung pweding bigyan

sila ng station. Ang sabi ko, ibigay

nalang sa Maruglo. Para yong

Maruglo, yon ang pinakaend na

station. Sabi ko kanina, yon ang mga

kulot natin. Sabi ko paano kaya sila

makakasakay nyan kung masyadong

mahal ang ticket.

Kaya itatanong ko kung yong

Maruglo ay may station ba doon kasi

sya ang pinakadulo?



of Aranguren, Capas


Regarding po dito sa mapa, may maliit lang

po sya na part na matatamaan. Sa mismong

bandang dulo.


Pero sa detailed design, malalaman po

natin yon Ma’am.

Ang pagkakaalam ko po kasi dyan,

ang dadaanan po ng tren ay

napakalayo po sa barangay namin.

Parang nasasakupan pa ng Aranguren.

Nagtataka lang po kami kasi

napakalayo po ng barangay namin sa

matatamaan.

The Pavillon, Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center, Capitol Compound,

Malolos City, Bulacan



Yong project po ng PNR o DOTr, yong

papuntang south, wala pong masyadong

cultural properties. Kasi bago ang mga

stations. Pero dito sa north, yong

original right of way ng PNR, mayroon

po silang old stations. If not old, most

of them are cultural properties or

already declared by the National

Museum as historical sites in the

Philippines. Nakita ko din yong

proposed station nyo, yong design. So,

nakaelevated sya. Itatanong ko lang po

sana kung ano po ang gagawin sa

existing stations. Hindi po ba sya

maaapektuhan kapag nagconstruct po

ng elevated structures?

Justin Caesar Ortiga –

Representative from

NCCA


Sir, bali yong question po nila ay kung

ano po ang mangyayari sa existing PNR

stations? Si Secretary Tugade po ng

DOTr, mayroon po syang order na

ipreserve po ang mga old and existing

PNR stations po. Well, in truth po,

mayroon pong mga proposal na yong

mga old PNR stations po ay gagawing

Museum. In fact po, there is one in San

Fernando, Pampanga na yong PNR

station ay ginawang Museum. Order po

talaga ni Secretary Tugade na he wants

all old PNR Station to be preserved.

Tapos yong gagawin po nating mga

stations, hindi po maaapektuhan ang

mga old.


Sa kasalukuyan Sir ay pinafinalize po

yong matrix ng old PNR Stations in

North 1 and North 2 at civil works po

ng JICA Design Team (JDT). Once

mafinalize po yon ay ipepresent po

namin yon sa NCCA.

Iclarify ko lang po kung ano po ang

ibig sabihin ng host barangay. Sa

Bulacan po, may dalawang barangay na

nadiscuss kanina: Longos at Bulihan.

Nagkataon po, taga Bulihan po ako and

we are crossing PNR railway. Itatanong

ko po kung ano po ang ibig sabihin ng

host barangay at kung anong particular

area po sa Buhilan?

Ms. Ma. Finena Alano

– President of Home

Owners Association of

Royal Estate in

Bulihan, Malolos


Sa presentation po ni Ms. Karla, ang

host barangay po ay sya po ang

barangay sa isang city na magtatraverse

po ang riles ng tren. Ibig sabihin, doon

po magconstruct o magtatayo ng riles.

Regarding po sa tanong nyo na kung

saan po eksakto doon sa Bulihan. Yong

po ang sinasabi kanina na ang lahat po

ng napresent namin ay indicative pa

lamang po. Magkakaroon po tayo ng



detailed engineering design na kung

saan doon natin malalaman kung saan

po mismo ang eksaktong tataman doon

sa barangay po ninyo.

Alaka namin ay yong additional station. Mr. Steven Racadio – DOTr

Hindi po, yong tatamaan lang po ng

riles.

Doon po sa aming mga dinaluhang

meeting ay ipinaliwanag po sa amin na

ang aming barangay ay matatamaan po

ng terminal. Ang sukat ay 60 m pero di

ko lang malaman kung ano ang haba,

yon po ang lapad. Pero ang mga

residente po doon ay doon na rin po

lumaki at nagkaroon ng apo. Ngayon,

itatanong ko lang po sa inyo na kung

ang terminal na itatayo ay talagang

nakapwesto na po doon sa aming

barangay. Samantalang mayroon naman

po na proposed na isang lugar na

napakalapad at doon sana ang gusto

naming magkaroon ng development. At

kung maaari, doon nalang sana sa lugar

na yon. Kasi yung lugar namin

pagdating ng Martes at Byernes,

napakatraffic. Nagkakaroon ng traffic

congestion kasi araw ng palengke.

Ngayon, yong proposed po ba na

terminal ay nakafixed na sa aming

lugar? Yon lamang po ang nais naming

malaman sa inyo.

Mr. Ricardo del Pilar –


Balungao, Calumpit


Gaya po ng sinabi po namin kanina, yon

po ay indicative palang po. Sa paggawa

po kasi ng station at alignment,

mayroon po tayong tinatawag na

economic consideration. Mayroon din

pong technical consideration at social

consideration. Lahat po na yan ay

aming kinokonsider para sa mas holistic

na pag plano sa ating gagawing Malolos

to Clark Railway System.

Ang gusto lang naming malaman

ngayon ay kung ang inyong proposed

na terminal ay pwede pang magbago at

mailayo sa mga kabahayan? Doon po sa

proposed namin na paglalagyan ay

gusto naming magkaroon ng

development doon. At wala po doon na

masyadong kabahayan. Doon po sa

proposed ninyo na terminal ay may

napakalaking population po doon.

Samantalang sa proposed namin na

lugar ay napakaluwang po. Wala pong

kabahayan doon at para magkaroon

naman ng development doon na parang

Malolos.


Kinokonsider po namin yon na

mayroon po kayong naisip na mas

maluwang na lugar at mas mainam po

para sa inyo. Ngayon po, doon po sa

existing Malolos Station, more or less

doon po mapupunta ang terminal. Dahil

dalawa po yong project dito, yong

Malolos-Tutuban at Malolos-Clark.

More or less po doon po matatayo. Pero

maaari pa pong mabago yan pag meron

na pong development sa detailed

engineering design.

Gusto lang po naming malaman kung

yong terminal na yon ay maaari pang

mabago ang kanyang location.


Sa ngayon Sir, yong station sa Malolos



for North 2 at North1 ay halos pareho

po ang dimension sa kapitolyo. Ang

dimension nya po ay 120m by 30m.

Nasa final design po ang North 1.

Yong binabanggit ko po na terminal ay

ang papunta po sa Calumpit. Sa

Calumpit po. Hindi po sa Malolos.


Bale po Sir, unang-una, basic design po

tayo Sir. Ngayong basic design,

actually, the best time po ito para hingin

po namin ang input ng LGU, ng local

community at mga stakeholders. Para

kung papaano ay ma-sway pa po ang

design up to this stage. Kasi

narecognized naman po namin na ang

pangit naman po siguro na yong mga

tao na nakatira doon ay ayaw sa project.

Kaya po ngayon, tulad po sa ginagawa

po ng ibang LGU gaya ng San

Fernando. May proposed din po sila na

alternative na station. We welcome po

yong mga suggestion na yon dahil kahit

anong data collection pa po ang

gagawin, iba pa rin po kapag

nanggaling sa local communities. Ang

mainam po dito na gagawin ay gumawa

po tayo ng position paper at iaddress po

sa DOTr. Para maincorporate po ganito

kaaga palang po sa design. Welcome po

ang mga suggestion sa DOTr.

Doon po sa sinasabi kanina ng aking

kabarangay, na yong Position Paper na

isinusulong. Ang pagkakaalam ko po

ang aming local government unit, ang

aming Mayor po ay mayroon na pong

position paper na hinihiling po na ang

station ng Barangay Balungao ay doon

po sa bago dumating po ng CI.

Hon. Nilo Abarico –


Balungao, Calumpit


Kailan po ito nasubmit Sir? This year

po ba after po ng Public Scoping? Rest

assured po na ganito palang kaaga ay

incorporated na po yon doon. Basic

design palang po sa ngayon. So maayos

at maayos pa rin po.

Atty John Eduard Ang – EMB Central

Office

Anyway, magkakaroon naman yata ng

detailed design.


Opo. Sa detailed design po talaga, doon

din po malalaman kung saan talaga

eksakto at kung gaano kalaki ang



kakailanganin. Tulad po sa sanasabing

30m right of way, malamang sa

malamang, hindi po masasagad yong

30m. Hindi po lahat bakod to bakod

sasagarin.

Doon po sa detailed design, doon po

nakalock in yong station. Doon na po

nakalock in kung saan mismo dadaan

up to the last station yong riles. Rest

assured po na sa ngayon palang sa basic

detailed design ay inaaccount na sya.

Pati po yong tinatawag na Transit

Oriented Development (TOD), kung

papaano makakatulong ang design ng

station sa pag-induce ng development

sa lugar pati po yong ma-cause nya na

traffic at yung extra load ay

kinokonsider na po at this early on po.

Ang concern ko po kasi ay tatlo po ang

intersection sa Bulihan na matatamaan

po ng linya ng tren: Capitol View Park,

Alido Subdivision at Royal Estate kina

Ma’am Fe. As I understand, elevated po

yong part. Kasi po yong entrance sa

mga subdivision na yon ay directly

pong tatawirin ng tren. So obviously

itataas nyo po yong sa part na yon.

Pwede rin po ba na ang Barangay

Bulihan ay mafurnish din po ng

detailed design.

Tapos yong right of way po, as I

undertand ay 60m po sa station sa

Barangay Bulihan. Pakibigyan nyo

nalang po kami ng kung gaano po

kalapad ang mga tatamaan na mga

negosyo. Kasi marami pong negosyo

ang matatamaan sa Bulihan na patawid

from old station up to Longos near

Calumpit. Yon lang po ang request po

namin.

Mr. Wilfredo Castro –

Barangay Secretary of

Bulihan

Atty John Eduard Ang – EMB Central

Office

Yes, Sir. Salamat po. Noted po yon.


Sige po Sir. Noted po yung sinabi nyo

na sa Barangay Bulihan po na concern.

Para pong hindi po natin napapag-

usapan na ang Balungao po ay ang

kaharap nyan ay ang sementeryo. At

lingid sa ating kaalaman na ang

Balungao ay daanan ng tubig kapag

bumabaha. At di rin po napapag-usapan

na sa Balungao, Gugo at Calizon, ang

mga mag-aaral ay dito tumatawid pa sa

Mr. Reynelito

Angeles– Resident of

Barangay Balungao,

Calumpit


Sir, salamat po doon sa katanungan

ninyo. Actually, concern po talaga yan

ng maraming stakeholders natin tuwing

mga public hearing po talaga

natatanong po yong issue tungkol sa

access roads during construction.



central.

At ang mga grade schools students ng

Balungao na tumatawid. At ang mga

mag-aaral di natin napag-usapan na

habang ginagawa ito ay saan sila

dadaan. Parang hindi po natin napag-

usapan sa plano yon. Laging lumalabas

po na kawawa naman ang mga

mangyayari dito sa Balungao. Ang mga

mag-aaral hindi alam kung saan sila

dadaan. Habang ginagawa ito, saan ang

papuntang pelengke, saan papuntang

paaralan at simbahan?

Bigyan ko nalang po kayo ng example

para mainam. Ngayon po ginagawa si

MRT 7 doon sa may QC Circle. Si QC

Circle po, daluyan po yan ng anim na

major na avenue sa Metro Manila. Ang

ginagawa nila ngayon, nagprovide po

sila ng alternative na access roads. For

example po ay nagsuggest ng diversion

specially po sa papuntang Fairview.

Kadalasan din po ay nililimitahan po

talaga. Kasama po sa consruction

planning yung provision po ng access

roads.

Maaring may nagcoconstruct po dito.

Mayroon pong alternative o detour na

maaring daanan para makatawid po

across doon sa construction area.

Kasama din po doon sa guidelines na

sinusundan natin yong tinatawag na

reinstatement services na yong mga

access road na nadetour ay kailangan

reinstate agad. Hindi lang sa dati or sa

former glory kundi kung maaari mas

maganda pa nga po sa dati. Yong

improvement din po ng mga pedestrian

traffic, saan padadaanin kapag nandyan

na ang station or habang ginagawa po

sya ay kasama din po yon sa pinaplano

at this stage palang po.

Kaya very very welcome po yong

nasabi nyo na including yong mga

elementary students pati po ang mga

namamalengke ay dumadaan din doon.

Opo, understood po yon kasi talagang

sobrang accessible itong right of way ni

PNR dahil ginagamit nga po yong ibang

portion as actual na kalsada.

Rest assured po na magpoprovide po ng

alternative access roads at detours at

ibabalik yong mga dating access after

construction.


Sir, idagdag lang po natin. After po ng

construction, so nag-ooperate na po ang

ating tren. Hindi naman po ibig sabihin

na isasara lahat ang riles. Mayroon po



tayong tinitingnan na design, yong

tinatawag natin na viaduct,

embankment at tunnel. So, hindi po

sasarahan ang kalsadahan. Magkakaron

naman po ng natural ng daluyan ng mga

tao.

Salamat po doon sa access road na

gagamitin habang ito ay ginagawa.

Meron po ba tayong nilalatag na

programa na during construction ay

yong mga matatamaan na kabahayan ay

saan po natin pansamantala… Dahil

pansamantala lang ang pinag-uusapan

natin. Pansamantalang access road at

pansamantalang tahanan. Yong pong

pansamantalang tirahan ng mga tao

habang ito ay ginagawa? Saan po natin

dadalhin ang mga pansamantalang mga

tao na yon?


Actually po, pagsinabi po nating

resettlement at relocation, hindi po natin

pag-uusapan ang pansamantala. Yong

kalsadahan po, yong pansamantalang

daluyan habang nasa construction.

Pero ganito po yon. Sa bawat proyekto

po ay mayroong Resettlement Action

Plan na tinatawag. Sa ngayon po ay

nasa yugto po tayo ng panimulang

pagsusulat at pag-aaral para malamanan

ang ating Resettlement Action Plan.

Nakapalaoob po doon yong kung ano

po ang gagawin sa mga apektadong

mamamayan na may dalawa pong klase.

Iyon po ay yong mga legal na

nagmamay-ari ng lupa at mga informal

settler families.

Para po sa informal settler families,

mayroon po tayong kaukulang

compensation at relocation para sa

kanila. Mas mainam nga po na sa

Feasibility Study po natin magkakaron

na tayo ng konsultasyon para makita din

kung ano ang mga options ang gustong

ihain ng mga affected families. Kaya

magandang mapag-usapan po natin sa

mga susunod na panahon kung ano

yong permanente at hindi

pansamanatalang titirahan ng mga tao

na maapektuhan ng proyekto.

Ano po ba talaga ang sukat ng luwang

sa magiging station? Ten po ba o

fifteen? 15-15 po ba o 10-10?

Hon. Melchor Santos –

Barangay Coucilor of

Pio Cruzocosa,

Calumpit


Kapag po station… Yong barangay nyo

po ay hindi station? Tama po ba? Ito po

nasa loob ng riles. Tayo po ay mag-

oobserve ng 30m, 15m po sa kanan at

15m po sa kaliwa. Ibig sabihin po nito,

30m po ang entirely ng aming riles ng

tren.

Kapag ito ba ay nayari, gagamitin po ba Mr. Felipe Mallari III – DOTr



ang 30m na iyon?

Kapag nayari na po ang riles ng tren,

gagamatin po lahat ng yon dahil hindi

lang po riles lang po mismo ang

iconstruct. Mayroon din pong mga

viaduct po. Lahat po yon ay magagamit

po talaga.

Gagamitin po ninyo lahat. Bali yong

30m, sa inyo na talaga.


Kung nagtataka po kayo kung bakit

maluwang po talaga. Kasi po in the near

future po, gaya po ng sinabi ng mga

kasama ko dito, magkakaroon po kami

ng freight services. Kung baga yong

freight services, ang ibig sabihin po

nito, hindi lang po commuters pati

cargo po in and out na din sa mga city

kaya po ginawa naming 30m.

Ang calumpit po kasi ay naging catch

basin na po ng baha hanggang Pio po.

Gumawa po ang gobyerno po natin ng

daan po, tinaasan po ang kalsada.

Tinanong po namin ang contractor

kung saan po pupunta ang tubig. Ang

sabi nila, sa ilog ng Bagbag. Pero ang

nangyari po. Mas mataas po ang

drainage papunta doon pababa ng

Malolos. Kaso ang Malolos po ay wala

naman pong ilog na madadaanan. Sa

mga drainage, tama aayusin namin ang

mga drainage. Ang problema po, saan

po tatakbo ang tubig ngayon?

Total mayroon naman po kayong right

of way talaga. Bakit di nalang doon

padaanin ang tubig papunta sa ilog po.

Kasi bahain po talaga ang lugar namin.


As of now, maging honest po kami Sir,

wala pa po kaming napapag-usapan

regarding po sa drainage. Kasi again,

we are on the feasibility study stage.

Pero sa detailed engineering design,

pwede po yan iconsider. Since ninonote

naman po yan ng mga kasama namin.

Pero magnada pong suggestion po yan.

Kagaya po ng sinasabi ng ating

Geosphere regarding sa flooding po,

pinag-aaralan po yan ng DOTr, Sir.

Dalawa lang po ang concerns ko. Ang

gagamitin po yung dating riles ng PNR.

Kasi po, kung mapapansin nyo po o

kung nakadaan na po kayo sa highway

na yan. Di ba po mayroon tinayong

poste at ang sabi daw ay para nga sa

tren na yan na itatayo. Kasi po, sa tagal

na rin namang natengga, yong

assurance ba ay may pag-aaralan na din

para sa mga poste na yan? Yon pa rin

po ba ang gagamitin? So gigibain po

yun?

Mr. Ronaldo Lopez –

Staff of ABC President

of Malolos


Yong lahat ng structures na nailapat

noong panahon po ng North Rail,

tatanggalin po natin silang lahat. Kasi

ang mga pier nya, hindi sya

nagmamatch doon sa pier ng bago

nating design. So idemolish po yon

lahat.

So, panibagong gastos talaga ng Ms. Cristina Fernandez – DOTr



Government yon? Sayang pala ang

naitayong poste na ang alam ko po ay

China yata ang nakaano noon. So,

gigibain po yon?

Opo, Sir. Since ang nasa feasibility

study… Ang tinutukoy nyo po kasi ay

yong North 1 Project. Sa panahon po ng

feasibility study, tiningnan po talaga

yon na imaximize and existing. Kaya

lang iba po kasi ang alignment natin.

Hindi po natin nasuperimpose o

naeksakto doon sa alignment na ginawa

o naprograma para sa North Rail.

Nagbago po tayo. May mga ilang

alignment na lumihis po tayo. Hindi po

talaga natin na maximize. Tatanggalin

po natin yon Sir. Gagastos po tayo.

Totally, talaga pong gagastos.

Nakakalungkot lang isipin na

pinundohan po way back 2014-2015.

Tapos gigibain lang po. Malaking pera

din po sana at malaking bagay din po

kasi yon para makatulong po sa atin.

Pangalawa po, ang concern ko po ay

doon po sa design. Kasi malaki po ang

concern ng City Government sa mga

Senior Citizen doon sa design. Sana po

ay mabigyan ng accessibility na madali

lalo na po sa PWD na binibigyan din po

namin ng respeto yan dito sa city. Yong

madali silang makakaano sa mga…

Kasi matataas po. Ano po ang

gagamitin ng ating mga Senior Citizen

para di sila mahirapan lalo na ang may

mga kapansanan, para madali silang

makaakyat. Kasi napansin po namin

yong sa LRT at MRT. Nakakalungkot

po kasi sira po yata, di po yata

nakakatulong sa ating Senior Citizen at

PWD. Sana naman po, dito sa itatayo

na terminal station ay maconsider na

sila kasi parte din sila ng lipunan at sila

rin naman kailangang gumamit din

noon.


Regarding that po, meron po kaming

tinatawag na services na TOD o Transit

Oriented Development. Doon po

kinokonsider po namin yong mga

elevators at mga walkways. Nakita nyo

po ba yong mga proposed stations po

kanina? Kinokonsider yon ng TOD na

services na ginagawa namin. Kunyari

kung papano namin marereduce yung

traffic. Kasi regarding sa MRT, pag

bumaba po kayo ay nakakacongest po

sa baba tapos nagkakatraffic. Dito po sa

TOD na sinasabi namin, each station,

meron po kaming services na ganoon.

Including po doon ang mga for PWD o

Senior Citizen.

Magkakaroon po tayo ng Detailed

Engineering Design. Makikita nyo po

doon yong architectural design ng

stations po.

Bale po sa sinasabi nyo kanina na

mostly yong feasibility na ginagawa

nyo ngayon ay lahat ng stations…

Lilinawin ko lang po. Ang stations po

na gagawin nyo ay sigurado po na

malayo sa sementeryo at palengke.

Tama po ba?

Hon. Jed Leoncia –


Balungao, Calumpit


Yes po Sir. As much as possible po Sir.

Ngayon Sir, sa Barangay Balungao, Mr. Felipe Mallari III – DOTr



doon din nakalagay ang lumang station

ng heritage. Ang tanong ko lang, ang

luma po bang station, paano po ang

bilang ng kakainin doon? Kasi ito po

ang highway, ito yong lumang PNR.

Paano po ang magiging daan nyo po

doon? Kakain pa po kayo dito o

dadaana nyo po mismo ang lumang

station na gagawing museum?

Regarding po sa order po ni Secretary

Tugade sa amin, ipreserve po namin

yong mga lumang station. Regarding po

sa kung kakainin po namin ang lumang

station, hindi po. Kailangan po naming

ipreserve po yon.

Kung pupuntahan nyo po yong

museum, most nasa 30m po ang length.

Paano po yon? Ibig pong sabihin yong

mga poste po na gagawin, iiwasan nyo

po yon o kakain po kayo sa kabila?


Regarding po kasi sa station, since ang

basic feasibility study po namin, ang

basis po ng project namin ay ang old

PNR railway. Regarding po sa stations,

gaya po ng sabi namin kanina, ang total

po na sukat nya o lapad ay 30 by 30,

30m sa left at 30m sa right.

Ang ibig nyo pong sabihin ay ang

lumang stations po ng tren doon ay

simula po sa highway. Itong highway

ay katabi nya mismo ang pinaka

station. Sa feasibility study nyo kakain

kayo ng 15m simula sa highway.


30 by 30 meters po. Ang basis po nating

30-30 ay starting from the centerline of

the project.

Possible ba syang lumiko? Mr. Felipe Mallari III – DOTr

Marami pa po kasi kaming

kinokonsider. Gaya po ng sinabi namin

kanina sa tanong ni Sir, possible pong

lumihis at possible po na hindi namin

kainin ang buong 15m. Possible din po

na di namin kainin ang buong 30m o

60m. Madami ko kasi. Sa feasibility

study po so far wala pa sa 15% ang

natatapos sa project. Puro study palang

po ang kinokonsider po namin.

Totoo po ba na pinag-iingatan nyo po

ang mga palengke na maapektuhan,

sementeryo. Yong pong sinasabi ko sa

inyo kanina na ang terminal ng PNR ay

napakalapit po doon sa tangke ng

aming kawali, doon sa tangke ng aming

water supply. Yon po ba ay hindi

makakaapekto. Halimbawa, pagkatapos

ng project, aanhin po nyo ang mga

sasakyan kasi may vibration po yan.

Hindi po kaya makakaapekto sa aming

water table doon, ng aming water

Mr. Reynelito

Angeles– Resident of

Barangay Balungao,

Calumpit


Una po, bago po siguro magbigay ng

input ang ating envi people. Kasi

nakwento po ninyo kanina na medyo

malaki po ang maaapektuhan kung

yong indicative na sukat ang

pagbabatayan. Syempre pag terminal

Sir, medyo malawak kasi 60m. After po

ng public consultation po natin ay

pupunta po tayo sa site na sinasabi mo

Sir. Tamang-tama, nandito po ang JDT



supply?

o JICA Design Team para makita po

nila ang physical na situation po doon

sa area. At agad-agad po ay maireport

namin sa technical team namin doon sa

taas. Para di po tayo masyado nag-

aalala. Kasi tama po kayo. Dahil ang

iniisip po namin ay mula sa drawing

board, yong actual po na kalagayan ay

mas maganda po na makita natin

mamaya. Baka makatulong sya na

maging input ng magiging design na

ginagawa ng technical team.

Para sa envi side po, baka makatulong

po na makapagbigay ng input

consultant namin sa environment po.

Kasi doon sa nakaraang meeting namin

sa Calumpit po, sa Munisipyo, ipinakita

na po sa amin yong proposed na site.

Ngayon, napakalapit po sa ating water

district. Alam naman po ninyo na ang

mga sasakyan po ay may dalang

vibration po yan. Ang ating water table

ay di kaya maapektuhan din?


Technologies, Inc.

Actually po, ang mga katanungan nyo

po ay detalyado at saka site specific.

Halimbawa, meron kaming tangke dito.

Kapag may proyekto kayo, hindi kaya

ang vibration ay makaapekto.

Sa mga desensyo po ng mga

infrastraktura, kinokonsider po sa

pondasyon kung ang water table po

natin ay maaapektuhan. May mga

succeeding o mga susunod pa po na

pag-aaral. Kasama po doon ang

tinatawag nating geotechnical. Sa

geotechnical po, doon po natin

malalaman kung ano po ba ang

kapasidad ng lupa po doon. Kasama din

po ang topographic survey. Doon po

malalaman kung saan po ba ang

mababa, saan po ba ang mataas, saan po

ba ang daloy ng tubig, saan po ba aming

water table. Yon po ay sa sunod na

tinatawag natin na Detailed Engineering

Design.

Ngayon po, kagaya po ng sinasabi ng

ating DOTr, conceptual. May

conceptual po tayong ganito. Pagdating

po ng Detailed Engineering Design, pag

sinabing technically hindi po ganun ka

feasible, pwede po yong maglihis.

Pwede pa po syang mabago. Pero hindi

po ganon kalayo. Kung baga ang tanong



nyo kasi ay dito ako, pagdumaan ang

structure mo, ano ang maging epekto sa

akin. Iyon po yong pinakadetalyado.

Hindi pa po yon masasagot sa

conceptual. Pero yong detailed

engineering po, marami pa po ang pag-

aaral doon. Mayroon po tayong pag-

aaral sa topography. Mayroon po

tayong pag-aaral sa geotechnical. Para

malaman po natin kung ano po ang

klase ng structure ang ilagay.

Bale sa conceptual po, sinasabi po ng

ating DOTr na kailangan pangalagaan

natin ang kung anong structure

mayroon tayo ngayon. Mahalaga po sa

atin ang ating mga libingan. Kailangan

po nating proteksyonan yong ating old

structure. Kasi may batas din po yon na

kailangan natin yon proteksyunan. So,

may lilihis, may iiwasan. Kung saan?

Depende po yon sa ating Detailed

Engineering Design.

Wag po kayong mag-alala. Kasi kapag

naayos na po lahat yon, ikokonsulta po

talaga kayo. Kasi kailangan po nating

malaman kung ano po ba ang nakabaon

dito. Ano po ba ang structure na malapit

dito na posibleng maapektuhan? Ano po

ba ang posibilidad na posibleng iwasan.

Yong mga inputs po ninyo na ganoon

ay mahalaga pero sa detalye na po yon.

Hindi po sa conceptual.

Unang-una, nagpapasalamat po ako sa

DOTr sa Public Hearing na ito. Ako po

ay Chairperson ng Committee ng

Transportation ng Sangguniang

Panlalawigan. Kaya ako po ang

inatasan ng ating Vice Governor na

umattend po dito.

Ang tanging tanong ko lang po ay kung

tuloy na tuloy na po ba?

Hon. Therese Cheryll

“Ayee” B. Ople –

Board Member of

Bulacan


Masasabi ko po with great certainty na

tuloy na tuloy na po. As for other

projects po, syempre ang proyekto po

na to ay Malolos-Clark Railway at ang

amin kailangan po para mas mapabilis

po ang proyekto na to ay ang suporta po

ng mga Bulakeño. At nakikita ko din po

na ang supurta ng Bulacan ay nandoon.

Kaya dahil doon, alam ko po na

matutuloy po ang proyekto.



Kasi po, sa matagal na panahon, kami

po ay umasa. Kanina nga po ay may

nabanggit na may bakas pa ng

nakalipas. Makikita nyo na ang mga

poste po ay talagang

nakakapanghinayang. Para ba kaming

umasa sa wala. Akala namin nandyan

na, pagkatapos pagkalipas ng ilang

administration, eto na. Nakita naman po

namin doon sa Quezon City ay

mayroon ng itinatayo doon. Baka

naman sakali dito naman po sa panahon

ng ating Pangulong Duterte ay

maisakatuparan na yong matagal ng

inaasam hindi lang po ng Maloleño

kundi ng mga Bulakeño ang kaunlaran.

Matagal na po namin itong inaasam

talaga. Bagamat alam naman natin na

may mga resistance to change lalo na

po doon sa mga matagal ng

naninirahan. Marami na rin naman

pong mga relocatees na narelocate na

po namin doon sa Barangay Bangkal.

Noon pa pong nakaraang

administration. May mga riles na po

dyan. Ngayon ay sana naman ay

maisakutaparan na po.

Isa pa pong tanong. Sino po ba ang

magpopondo dito? Tanging JICA lang

po ba? Saan po ba manggagaling ang

pondo?


Salamat po sa support nyo Ma’am. In

terms po sa pondo Ma’am. Sa ngayon

po ang magpopondo po dito ay ang

JICA at Asian Development Bank o

ADB.

Liwanagin lang po natin kung ano po

ang ibig sabihin ng JICA.


Ito po yong Japan International

Cooperation Agency.

Sa mga hindi kasi nakakaalam.

Kailangang maliwanag na kung saan

nanggagaling ang pondo.

Sa pamahalaang national po ba ay

mayroon din tayong kaakibat na pondo

na maibibigay, counterpart funding, o

tanging JICA lang po ba ang

magpopondo po dito?

Dati China ang nagpondo.. kung may

kaso ba.. sna wag na po maulit


Mayroon pong counter part ang

Philippines. Yong sa paglilikas ng

maaapektuhan at compensation para sa

mga legal owners. Sa social side po,

ang sasagot ay ang Pilipinas. Basically,

sa right of way access yon.

Regarding naman po doon sa mga civil

works, sa mga mismong gagamitin para

sa construction, yon po ang utang sa

ADB at sa JICA.



JICA is a Non-Government

Organization o Japanese Government

po ito?


Agency po sya sa Japan.

Kailangan din po kasi na maliwanag po

sa amin kung saan po manggagaling

ang funding. Dahil, kanina nga, may

nagbanggit na dati China ang

nagpondo. Ngayon, di na po namin

alam kung ano ang nangyari doon. Sino

ba ang hinarang? Nakakalungkot. Sana

wag na pong maulit yong mga nangyari

na yan sa mga dadating na panahon.
