DMCI is the contractor responsible for constructing a viaduct and two new stations - Emerald and Masinag - for the project. construction on these items will soon be completed. 

The project is one part of the “Capacity Enhancement of Mass Transit Systems in Metro Manila Project”, which has been financed with  43.2 billion yen of Japanese governmental yen credit. 

The project  will contribute to reduction of both traffic congestion and air pollution, which are particularly severe problems in Metro Manila.

The existing Manila LRT Line 2, which was awarded to Marubeni in 2000 and completed in 2004, is a 13.8 kilometer elevated metro line with 11 stations connecting to east and west of Metro Manila.

Marubeni has an excellent track record of railway projects in the Philippines such as the improvement and modernization of Commuter Line South Project, the Metro Manila Light Rail Transit Line 1 Capacity Expansion Project – Phase 1 and Phase 2 Package B.

Utilizing its vast experiences, as well as know-how acquired through the successful implementation of this Project, Marubeni will contribute to social and economic growth in the Philippines by participating in more railway and infrastructure projects in the near future. DMS
