Good day, Department of Transportation! I, Edward Bryan C. Caisip, a bonafide member of the Heritage Conservation Society, would like to request you any document/s that will show us the future plans for the old Philippine National Railways Stations from Tutuban to Clark. We in the HCS, believe that the stations are in danger of demolition because of the commencement of civil works for the North-South Commuter Railway. Documents/Plans pointing out about the future of these stations would help us plan our actions about the issue. Thank you.

June 18, 2019 Dear Edward Bryan Caisip, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jun 02, 2019 07:44:01 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for The Future Status of the Philippine National Railways Stations (Northline). Your FOI request is approved. Below is the response from the DOTr's Railway Office. Please be informed that in the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project (Malolos-Tutuban), there will be no demolition of any historical structure. In fact, under a contract agreement between the grantors and the contractor, there is a provision which requires the contractors to do all necessary works to preserve the condition of the historical structure/s, if there are any. It is also important to note that there are conservation plans in place, and that the DOTr Project Management Offices (PMOs) and the Philippine National Railways (PNR) have been doing dialogues with National Historical Commission of the Philippines, National Museum, and National Commission for Culture and the Arts to identify which are deemed historical structures along the project alignment. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, DOTR-DM DOTR FOI Receiving Officer
