He adds that this is a way for them to help the country’s economy to recover from all its losses.

Construction Equipment Mobilization

The tollways firm is also mobilizing more construction equipment at the site; to speed up the construction of its road project. Because NLEX is hiring workers, they need to make sure that their site will be capable of handling it.

The NLEC Connector, in case you’re interested, is an all-vehicle class elevated expressway traversing the following routes and locations:

  • The Caloocan Interchange;
  • Fifth (5th) Avenue/C3 Road in Caloocan City, passing through España and linking up with the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 at Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), and Sta. Mesa, Manila

This reach will be enough to be able to accommodate at least ten (10) percent of the region.

Bautista reports that they’re looking to complete and accomplish the first 5 kilometers. For this alone, NLEX is hiring workers – about 1,500 of them.

We are currently working on the first five-kilometer section of the NLEX Connector from Grace Park, Caloocan City to España St., Sampaloc, Manila. We need more than 1,500 workers to accelerate the construction.”

Looking for OFWs

Meanwhile, as per the advice of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the NLEX Corp. should hire Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). It’s a way to give cash and financial assistance to them; and also, because of their skill.

Moreover, Mark A. Villar, Secretary of the DPWH, said that they’re looking at grand and massive projects for infrastructure. They’ll only be able to achieve success if they hire people – skilled and technical people.

We are looking at our massive infrastructure projects as key employment generators.”

Budget for Infra

The annual increase in the Government’s infrastructure budget generated around 6.57 million jobs in just the past four (4)  years. Moreover, the complete infrastructure will also hasten travel and perk up commerce within the area.

It can effectively and efficiently slash travel time from NLEX to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) from two (2)  hours to just about 20 minutes.Is it believable and feasible?

A lot of Filipinos think not – but, let’s see when the connector is finished.

Accessibility Improvement

One of the most notable and the most recognized would be the fact that, it will – it can  improve the accessibility for cargo trucks bound for the Manila Ports (North and South Harbor) and international airports such as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and the Clark International Airport (CIA).

Most of all, it will benefit more than 35,000 motorists; motorists who would absolutely be spared from using Metro Manila’s congested city roads, since they will traverse their routes mostly above the alignment of the Philippine National Railways.

  • Decongesting the infamous Metro Manila traffic;.
