Abigail Binay, Mayor of Makati City, said that the target completion date for the subway system will be on 2025. A Swiss challenge for this project, or a competitive bidding process, is ongoing and will end on September 24, 2018. The mayor also said that constructions will not impede road operations as it will be done underground.
