This topic is not new. I learned about it already during the early 1980s when I visited Mindanao and especially Davao Region for the first time.
The railway network system is proving to be a necessity for the Davao Region and has been included by the region's development planners for consideration in the region's area development.
Allow me to quote Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario, who said: "It may yet become possible during my term!" Del Rosario voiced this out during a press conference held at the Provincial Government Center in Tagum City.
Of course, the Governor is right in saying that Mindanao is lacking road networks. In the Davao Region, there is only one national road which is used to transport both people and products. The fastest way to tyransport people and products is through a railway system and its regime is soon to come. Let's wait and see... .
