Japanese group Hitachi Ltd. is interested in expanding its presence in the Philippines, focusing particularly on the Mega Manila Subway and Manila-Clark railway projects. The company had met with government officials about participation in several infrastructure projects and is in talks with “several” Philippine business groups that are interested in investing in the rail sector, according to Asia Pacific Hitachi Ltd., Railway Systems Business Unit CSO, Shinya Mitsudomi.
Both the proposed Mega Manila Subway and Manila-Clark railway projects will be funded by official development assistance from Japan. Previously, Hitachi had said that it was keen on public-private partnership projects in the Philippines, particulary for transportation, either as a supplier or contractor.
