San Miguel’s Bulacan airport, MRT7 delayed until 2028
San Miguel Corporation (SMC) announced potential delays for both the New Manila International Airport (NMIA) in Bulacan and the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7).
The opening of the Bulacan airport might be postponed due to a shortage of sand needed for construction, stemming from the suspension of Manila Bay reclamation projects.
If sufficient sand sources become available, the NMIA could become operational by the first quarter of 2028.
The completion of the MRT-7 line up to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, is also anticipated to be pushed back to 2028.
This delay in MRT-7 is partly due to the local government of San Jose del Monte requesting a realignment and relocation of the planned station.
Partial operations of the MRT-7 are still expected to commence next year, with the Quezon City portion slated for completion by the end of 2025.
