Proposed Dream Plan for Mega Manila
No traffic congestion
No households living in high hazard risk areas
No barrier for seamless mobility
No excessive transport cost burden for low-income groups
No air pollution
5 NOs for Mega Manila
5 Main components of Dream Plan
At-grade roads (urban roads)
Missing links: C3, C5, bridges
and others
New roads (137km)
Flyovers
Sidewalks and pedestrian
facilities
Secondary roads in periurban
areas
Expressways
Intercity expressway (426 km)
Urban expressway (78 km)
Urban/Suburban rails
Main line: 246 km (6 lines)
Secondary line: 72 km (5 lines)
Integrated lines and improved
accessibility
Bus/Jeepneys
Modern fleet and operation
Rationalized route structure
Improved terminals and
interchange facilities
Traffic management
Traffic signals
Traffic safety
Traffic enforcement and
education

Objectives
To strengthen connectivity between Metro Manila
and adjoining municipalities in Region III and IV-A
To guide urban development of new urban centers
along the route to meet large resettlement demands
North-South Commuter Rail (Malolos -
Calamba) 1)
Route length: 91 km
Elevated with modern high capacity train
Future extension to CLARK
EDSA subway: 2nd north-south mass transit
backbone (San Jose Del Monte – Dasmarinas):
75 km 2)

Need for competitive (high quality and capacity) public transport
backbone: North-South Commuter Rail and EDSA Subway
Malolos San Jose Del Monte
Dasmarinas
Calamba 1) F/S is on-going
2) Preliminary study was done in Roadmap Study. 0 5 10 20km
NS Commuter Main Line - Existing line - Extension/new line - Subway Secondary Line
No level crossings at main roads
At-grade urban roads created
Land use are connected
Impact
Promoting north-south urban growth
Dramatic improvement of mobility and
accessibility along EDSA and other roads
New urban land development

Opportunities exist for large-scale new towns development?
Yes!
Large-scale properties owned by
private/public sectors
Active subdivision development by private
sector
Republic Act No. 7279 (20% of total No. of
unites should be allocated for low cost
housing)
Approach: to establish a PPP model based
on regulation, guidance and incentives
Public: north-south commuter rail, access
roads, basic infrastructure and public
services
Private: affordable housing, commercial
facilities, industrial parks, relocation of
universities, etc.
Estimated demand
1–2 million households = 5-10 new towns
(2,000ha with 200,000 residents each)

Proposed concept for gateway airport development: globally competitive
international gateway airport is a critical driving force for future development of Metro
Manila and the Philippines

Development of CLARK (secondary
gateway airport for central and
northern cluster; alternative to New
NAIA)

the candidate sites)
Proposed Actions
① Improvement of existing NAIA
(immediate)
② Improvement of existing CLARK
(immediate)
③ Utilization of runway @ Sangley
(short-term)
④ Construction of new NAIA near
