It is obviously not news to anyone that we have moved in to yet another year.
This year marks our 24th one as a group, oh goodness a quarter of a century existence will soon be upon us, and never have there be such unprecedented amounts of change in the public transport sector of the Philippines.
Brand new PNR lines to the north and south of Luzon, new and extended elevated commuter lines in Manila, the capital's very first subway, the very sad ongoing demise of the traditional jeepney, and examining of transport improvements on the islands of Mindanao, Panay, Cebu, and likely others.
There are many other developments going on, but the internet only has so much room. :-)
Philippine Railway Historical Society
Despite having been around so long, recently it has been quite humbling to have been the go to for a number of transport construction entities, museums and heritage projects around the country, and other areas of the transport industry sector.
We always welcome contact of this sort, and being given the opportunity to share our thoughts on matters rail heritage, and public transport operations in general.
There are a number of exciting projects going on behind the scenes at this time. We look forward to being able to cover this for everyone in the near (hopefully) future.
The first 24 years have been fascinating for me. Met some great friends, whom I love to catch up with as often as possible, and privileged enough to be entertained by many transport people (management/employees) from all different industries .
Sadly though, it hasn't always been positive, over the years there has been long line of haters, racial and ignorance based, mostly hiding behind fake names and secret forums. Some even going so far as to legally defame me to the extent I've had to seek professional advice there in more recent times.
While I do feel sorry for these people due to their obvious mental issues, I am more concerned about the bad way they paint their beautiful country and, even more, the way they set back over two decades of trying to build an accepted hobby for the Philippines.
But move on we must. These people must be called out for what the cowards they are, and we must work towards the continued building of a wonderful hobby, and friendships with likeminded people.

Below is a list of the various 'public' groups and websites we either operate directly, or manage for others.
NOTE: Unless specified, all groups are aimed at a worldwide audience of people who love transport in the Philippines.
As such, unless specified, all groups are 'International English language based'. Please keep this in mind, as the rule does not actually change upon being accepted into our transport family.
