CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Light Railway Transit (LRT) may come sooner than expected with Cebu City Mayor-elect Edgardo Labella pushing for the project during his term.
In his statements immediately after his proclamation as the winner of the mayoral race in Cebu City, Labella said that President Rodrigo Duterte will fulfill his promises of realizing the LRT in Metro Cebu now that he is the city’s chief executive.
Labella said the LRT is the more efficient mode of transport as it will integrate the thirteen local government units (LGUs) in Metro Cebu providing a public transport that would pass through all the cities and towns.
“Just five days ago, we already talked with the Department of Transportation regarding the LRT,” said Labella
The realization of the LRT would mean the demise of outgoing Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña’s pet project, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).
During the interview, Labella said he will look into the BRT design and see if it will work in the city.
However, Labella has long expressed his dissent on the BRT saying that narrowing the roads for the BRT will cause more traffic in Cebu City.
The new mayor said that he may be focusing on the LRT especially with the support of the President.
Meanwhile, Labella promised a harmonious relationship with the Philippine National Police (PNP) following the request of Police Brigadier General Debold Sinas, director of the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7), that the city administration support them.
Labella said once he sits as mayor, he will immediately call a meeting with the police officials including Cebu City Police Office Director, Colonel Royina Garma, who has a standing feud with Osmeña, to discuss the safety and security concerns in the city.
“We need to support the police. Our police needs our help to keep the city safe,” he said. / celr

COMPONENTS of the Metro Cebu Integrated Intermodal Transport System (MCIITS) are expected to be operational by 2020, particularly segments of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Michael Lloyd L. Dino, in a press release on Sunday, said this was agreed upon in a meeting with the Department of Transportation (DoTr) and the technical service consultant for the BRT and LRT. Phase one of the MCIITS, intended to address the worsening traffic congestion in Metro Cebu, would be the LRT, BRT, and their common stations. “Phase 1 will become operational and give Cebuano commuters the feel and experience of a modern and green transport project,” the statement reads. The BRT is now in the detailed engineering design stage while the LRT is in the proposal evaluation stage. DoTr projects that construction can start next year. “LRT shall be the main transport backbone that will cover the entire stretch of the metropolis. The transport needs of Cebu are felt even beyond the metro so that this LRT system will ferry substantial number of passengers from one point to another,” he said. The LRT system will connect Carcar City in the south and Danao City in the north. Meanwhile, the BRT and other transport components of MCIITS will serve as “feeder lines” of the LRT. — The Freeman
