The Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced on Tuesday that construction of the expanded passenger terminal building (PTB) at Siargao Airport will begin this Friday, as part of efforts to enhance passenger experience and improve comfort and safety for both local and international tourists visiting the island.

A new chapter in Boracay’s tourism infrastructure began today with the launch of the P150-million Unified Automated Ticketing System, branded “LezzGo Boracay,” at the island’s entry and exit ports.

PLDT Inc. and its wireless arm, Smart Communications, are ramping up efforts to support the government’s digitalization drive by collaborating with key agencies to dismantle regulatory barriers and fast-track infrastructure rollout, especially in underserved areas.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) fully support the development of the $800 million Luzon International Container Terminal (LICT) in Bauan, Batangas, a flagship port project led by International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) poised to drive economic growth across the CALABARZON region.

In response to system errors encountered during the ongoing pilot run of cashless payments on MRT-3, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and MRT-3 management announce the provision of free single journey tickets (SJT) to affected passengers starting today, Monday.
