Lawmaker backs plan to revive Laguna-Albay cargo train service

Quick Summary:

A LAWMAKER on Monday expressed strong support for the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) plan to operate a cargo rail line between Laguna and Albay, which will play a "pivotal role” in reenergizing the economy of the Bicol Region while helping lower food prices for consumers.

Yamsuan said he would support this DOTr-PNR project when it is presented before lawmakers at the upcoming deliberations in the third quarter on the proposed 2025 national budget.

The DOTr is planning to operate one freight trip per day in the evening to avoid disrupting commuter services on the Laguna-Albay line.
