Welcome to the second version (V2) of the 'PRHS Guide To Philippine Transport Websites & Groups'.
V2 has been much expanded as we work our way (yeah there will be more updates) towards a very comprehensive guide for all things Philippine railway and transport related.
A thank you to those who answered my recent call and sent in suggested inclusions, most of which have been included in this update.
Regretfully, due to personal and other reasons a couple could not be included. But may be in future updates.
Anyway, if you wish others to be included feel free to private message me.

Version 2 - August 2025
If I had a Peso for every transport-related question I've received about the Philippines over the last 26 years, I'd have a pretty solid travel fund by now. It all started back in 1999, when I first visited the country. What began as a curiosity soon evolved into something much bigger — the creation of what would eventually become the Philippine Railway Historical Society.
Back then, my goal was simple: spark interest in Philippine transport — particularly the railways — connect with like-minded people, and foster a spirit of friendship among enthusiasts.
Over the years, despite the efforts of a few who’ve tried their best to undermine what we've built, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being part of this community. The journey has allowed me to contribute meaningfully to the hobby I love, while meeting some truly fascinating individuals along the way.
These days, our interests span far beyond trains. Don’t get me wrong — I still love a good loco spotting session — but there’s so much more to Philippine transport. From jeepneys to buses, ferries to planes, and everything in between, there are vibrant communities and pages out there dedicated to every niche.
We’re lucky to have a wealth of groups and websites brimming with quality information. And it's about time I pulled together a comprehensive list of recommended sources — the kind of places we turn to regularly, and ones we’re happy to stand behind.
So, whether you're asking about train schedules, ferry routes, or historic rail models, this list will help steer you in the right direction. It’s not exhaustive — I’m sure there are plenty more out there — but it’s a great place to start.
Below is a comprehensive listing of locations to find some great Philippine information!
