SLEX Tr4 Update as of January 2020
The South Luzon Expressway is stated to be extended all the way to Tayabas Quezon, this is called the TR4 , starting from Sto Tomas Batangas passing Makban, San Pablo Laguna , towards Tiaong, Candelaria, Sariaya and Tayabas. Soon travelling towards the Bicol region will be faster bypassing busy municipalities along national road. This is not a complete update, since i passed by Alaminos and Tiaong. Heard that the contractor was Santa Clara.

SLEX TR4 update as of September 2020
Revisited the same area that i covered last January 2020 for the #SLEXTR4 and there are changes but not as what i have expected. The first part of the video was at Alaminos portion near San Pablo while the other one was a Tiaong Quezon. Avoid going out of NCR as we are still under GCQ and there are checkpoints along the road as well. Keep safe and stay home if doing non essential things.
To those asking about travel outside APOR, please bring necessary travel documents and authorized person outside residence documents.

SLEX TR4 update as of November 2020
After a month we returned to the same area where we took a peek of the SLEX Tr4 alignment to see some developments. Medyo naiinip ako sa developments but mukhang dito palang gumagalaw. Alaminos Laguna and Tiaong Quezon were documunted on this video. Buhay pa kaya ako kapag tapos na? I hope so. There are developments on the Tiaong side, nakabit na mga girders and nag reroute na. How will the Tr4 impact Hacienda Escudero? I wonder... As for the Alaminos side, may clearing na naganap sa opposite side the maharlika highway.

MRT Line 7 Partial update as of January 2020
Got a chance to pass by the nearby areas and took my selfie stick and started taking pictures. It was a long time since i made an update on this massive project. Finally we got some great news on the location of the depot and it seems there was clearing activities undertaken inside the hot property. You could also see developments along the Regalado Highway area and with regards to the Quirino Hwy - Regalado Hwy junction, you could see the slight bend on the pier heads so definitely some of the properties along Quirino Hwy will be affected. #MRTLine7
TPLEX Update as of February 2020
The remaining 12 km section of #TPLEX will soon be complete. This is the last portion of the originally designed #TarlacPangasinanLaUnionExpressway . Currently, the TPLEX terminus is at Pozorrubio and soon will extend towards Rosario Rotunda (Formerly Pugo Rosario Rd - Manila North Road Junction) Travelling to the Cordillera region will be easy now with the TPLEX. From the rotunda you have three choices to up to Baguio, via Marcos Highway (go further to Pugo) or Kennon Road or the Asin Nangalisan Road
On the Sison Interchange portion, you could see the new exit and entry to Manila North Road, a toll plaza is also being erected.
Thank you to SMC Infrastructure and Private Infra Dev Corp #PIDC for delivering to us this alternative road towards the north.
TPLEX Update as of March 2020
The remaining 12 km section of #TPLEX is almost complete. This is the last portion of the originally designed #TarlacPangasinanLaUnionExpressway . Currently, the TPLEX terminus is at Pozorrubio and soon will extend towards Rosario Rotunda (Formerly Pugo - Rosario Rd / Manila North Road Junction) Travelling to the Cordillera region will be easy now with the TPLEX. From the rotunda you have three choices to up to Baguio, via Marcos Highway (go further to Pugo) or Kennon Road or the Asin Nangalisan Road
The Pozorrubio to Sison portion is almost complete, i guess after this documentation, the entire portion has asphalt. The new toll plaza along Sison Interchange and the entire interchange is taking shape. You could see taking the Sison interchange lead you to Manila Northroad / MacArthur Highway.
Thank you to SMC Infrastructure and Private Infra Dev Corp #PIDC for delivering to us this alternative road towards the north.
I included a map since this was shot in a linear method. Please check google maps for further information.
This was taken on the day national government declared a lockdown / community quarantine implemented (Saturday) Thank you for giving me the opportunity to document this before its opening. I pray for everyone's safety and may this pandemic do not further hurt anyone.
Maraming salamat po sa pagkakataon! Life is good, life is great!

CLLEX Phase1 / Package 1 2 and 3 Update as of July 2020
This is my #CLLEX - Central Luzon Link Expressway Phase 1 - Packages 2 and 3 update before the end of July 2020. I started from Tarlac just after the CLLEx interchange going to SCTEx / TPLEx towards the town of Aliaga, Nueva Ecija, passing through the Chico Viaduct (below was Chico River).
This 4-lane expressway spanning across the wide farm lands of Central Luzon that connects SCTEx to Cabanatuan City under Phase 1 is around 30 km in total length, but I was only able to check up to Aliaga due to some constraints.
Phase 1 (currently under construction):
Package 1 - Tarlac Section (Province of Tarlac)
Package 2 - Rio Chico River Bridge Section (Boundary of Tarlac and Nueva Ecija)
Package 3 - Aliaga section (Nueva Ecija)
Not on the video
Package 4 - Cabanatuan Section (Nueva Ecija)
Phase 2 (for construction): Cabanatuan City - San Jose, Nueva Ecija
As per news reports and statement by the SPWH (Secretary of Public Works and Highways - Mark Villar), this project is scheduled and targeted to be partially accessible by December 2020 which would serve motorists with convenience bypassing busy communities along the Santa Rosa - Tarlac Road. Faster mobility for business and deliveries will also benefit from this.
CLLEX Phase 1 is being implemented by the DPWH-UPMO Road Management Cluster I with a total budget cost of P14.93 billion from the Official Development Assistance (ODA) Fund.

LRT Line 2 update as of December 2020
Checking the #LRTLine2 East Extension Project as of end of the month of 2020. The two remaining stations Emerald and Masinag stations are done and what remains are the electromechanical and rail works left. We could see there are catenary poles installed on the guideway.

SEMME update as of January 2020
A very short video of what i saw on the developments on the Southeast Metro Manila Expressway #SEMME along C5 Road. Just sharing this clip before i delete it. You could see columns being erected on the SB side too.
From Wikipedia:
The Southeast Metro Manila Expressway is an under construction[2][3] 34 kilometres (21 mi)[1] tolled expressway running across eastern Metro Manila and part of Rizal. The expressway will help decongest the existing roadways across Metro Manila, such as EDSA and Circumferential Road 5. SEMME is also known as Skyway Stage 4.[4][dead link] The expressway is part of the larger C-6 Expressway project.
The expressway will begin at the Skyway in FTI, Taguig, and will end at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Quezon City. It will also connect to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) in Balagtas, Bulacan.[5]
Groundbreaking ceremony of the project was held on January 8, 2018.[5]
LRT Line 2 East Extension Project update as of January 2020
After a long hiatus peeking on this, I decided to check out how are the events unfolding on this project for the east side of NCR. The #LrtLine2 12th and 13th stations Emerald and Masinag station are almost complete! As for the guideway / railway works, there are developments - it looks like rails are being installed on some sections of the guideway particularly before Emerald Station. I didn’t see any overhead catenary wires being installed yet as of this documentation. Pretty soon, we can see developments and hoping for an opening this year!
I am getting hungry with the roof color of the stations... Who wants Kuya J ube halo halo? yum yum!

Skyway Extension Project update as of January 2020
Happy new year! Going back to my old style of doing update videos, checking out the works along the south and northbound of the #SkywayExtensionProject as the skyway stage 2 is being extended further near Susana heights. More noticeable activity on the northbound. See those different kind of precast coping beam installed on the columns? Check out the road widening on the SB route. If you observe the old on ramp for skyway stage 2, there are markings.. looks like half of the on ramp will make way for the column.... very interesting how traffic mgmt will be done on this project.
BGC Ortigas Bridge update as of January 2020
Sharing to you my update of the Bonifacio Global City to Ortigas Road Link Project, Sta. Monica-Lawton Bridge and Viaduct. This four lane bridge will soon connect BGC and Bgy Kapitolyo in Pasig. The gantry platform on the Pasig side has been set up and pretty soon we will be seeing more developments on this side. We could also see bored pile activity along Lawton avenue

I have been using this series to gather donations for Baby Andrei Frances and as of January 2020
Less than three weeks after his surgery, our baby Andrei has been transferred from the ICU to the ward today. Similar to these, almost every photo of him taken (even in the ICU) is the same strong and smiling little warrior we know.
We would like to thank everyone who offered their prayers for baby Andrei especially on the day before Christmas/his transplant operation. Thank you for the financial support and for the words of encouragement which kept our family as strong as this little warrior. Thanks to the nurses and doctors whose hands have been blessed to take care of all the babies with similar case as baby Andrei.
Thank you, Padre Pio, for your intercession.
Though our baby Andrei has been showing good signs during the past three weeks, continuous monitoring will still be done until he gets discharged from the hospital. The battle for recovery starts now.

3 reasons why no SLEX TR4 Interchange in Alaminos? #slextr4 #update #solar #smc
Alaminos
Alaminos, officially the Municipality of Alaminos, is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 51,619 people. Wikipedia
CLLEX Update as of December 2020
The approximately 30km #CLLEX - #CentralLuzonLinkExpressway phase 1 will make travel from Tarlac to Cabanatuan City convenient once this opens. We return to this area to check the status of this game changer highway. Starting from Package 2 , 3 and 4 we see changes from our previous update. The alignment passes thru the vast rice fields of Tarlac and Nueva Ecija passing Rio Chico river. The interchange along Zaragoza ends up at Bgy Santa Lucia, and soon the Cabanatuan Interchange ends up at Bgy Caalibangbangan and near Talavera. There are areas with right of way issues that hopefully gets resolved as soon as possible.
I wonder which company will get the operation and maintenance of this alignment?

NLEX Segment 10 update as of January 2019
As we enter 2019, the much anticipated completion of NLEX Segment 10 is already at hand.The only missing link as of the moment is the one in Karuhatan then it is already complete up to Asistio - Caloocan. We could see visible on and off ramps in Karuhatan and in Asistio in Caloocan. Asphalt is being paved now, trucks carrying asphalt and machineries are busy too and road lights are installed. Pretty sure we will be seeing a partial opening or possible a section opening in the coming weeks or months. The only remaining portion that really remains is the one from Asistio to C-3 and we could also see a ramp. Yes! Finally a new alternative / toll road opening soon. Bring home the bacon!! Really worth doing this to see and witness the completion of such a beautiful national project.

MRT Line 7 update as of June 2020
Howdy everyone! Returned to update #MRTLine7 project as of the month of June 2020 after two months of ECQ. Construction of Unified Grand Central Station is now underway for the portion of MRT-3 and LRT-1 Platform (Section A), as well as the MRT-7 portion (Section C). DOTr expropriated a commercial building near the intersection of Quirino and Regalado for the turning portion of the line. The depot in Quezon City is now on full swing construction prior to its commencement last November 2019 after series of legal battles on its ROW.
Still a long way to go for a convenient mass transit system towards Fairview and Bulacan! Enjoy watching!
