Philippine National Infrastructure and Urban Planning

[Solblanc]

stuff that I want seen:

1) A tunnel between Laoag and Hong Kong. It would be really cool if we had a physical connection to the place, especially since as an archipelago, it would be nice to have another country that you could just drive to

2) Visayas international airport. It'll be a Man-made airport on a man-made island with physical train and highway connections to Cebu, Iloilo, and Bacolod. Like HKIA, it should have a ferry terminal where one could take a boat to any island in the Visayas

ey, i finally just notice, this was move here. i could've sworn i put this in samahan

[pau_p1]

hmmm... tunnel from Laoag to HongKong.... that's too far huh... hehehe... how about Aparri to Taiwan? or Sulu to Sabah.. heheheh

[tigidig14]

^ that's right ka b-day, much plausible idea but wouldn't it be jolo to sabah

[ramvingar]

My dream: Mindoro connected to Batangas by rail and bridge. Rail/Bridge from Bicol to Leyte and Samar then onwards to Mindanao. Connect Cebu, Panay and Negros by rail and bridge at their closest points. That way, it would just seem that we have two major islands since everything else would be connected.

Your wish is my command. I will name this san juanico bridge

[ramvingar]

yup! i know that part. crazy! but it only connects Leyte and Samar. I wished that meron din connection to Bicol and Mindanao so you don't have to get on the ferry pa.

Thank you Pareng Phil always appreciate your friendly comments too!

Actually believe it or not we had a proposal to clean up , activate , cover up the esteros around the downtown area 10 years ago. We were supposed to have a commercial floor on the 1st and 2nd floor then parking on the 3rd and 4th then a road on the 5th! This is a real plan and BOT . Unfortunately we ran into the powers that be in the area , the infamous Sy Pio Lato the gofather of Chinatown who had to have a hand in the project as he was Lim's kumpare. AFter all that unfortunately he died ! Very young too ( I guess the world really is round!). Anyway bottom line di natuloy the project. We were supposed to keep the esteros running in fact in better shape then it is now. We did the engineering studies and you know the filth and garbage is over two to three meters thick in some places ! (There was even a dead fetus - a not altogther unique thing to find there). Anyway can be done and not super expensively.

Actually am a fan of the Bataan Nuclear Plant if only we have one in the country to keep our sciences and engineering up to par! At the very least they should convert it to Coal or Natural Gas or something as it's already there anyway

FYI, Boston's Big Dig is indeed finished.

great stuff here!! nakakapaglaway!:haha:

not sure if this is extreme or just the usual. i think there was a proposal before to build an elevated expressway that will run along the southern bank of the pasig river. much like the ones they have in tokyo. wow!

It is? I thought it was almost finished.

Anybody knows the status of this project... Aguinaldo Highway is really in a mess..

Or whatabout engineering COMELEC computerization-- it's been promised since Ramos's time.

QFT.

My extreme engineering wish list would be:
1. Opening up of all enclosed esteros of Manila and cleaning 'em up.
2. A highway system that will connect all major islands with tunnels (and a rail network that will also run on said tunnels).
3. Subwayfications of Manila's LRT system, instead of pillars supporting rails, I imagine trees in center island.
4. DMIA
5. Pedestrianization of Roxas Blvd.
6. Dereclamation of Centennial City.

Yun lang naiisip ko...

[chymera00]

A network of bridges, roads, tunnels that will link Luzon Island, Visayas (Panay, Negros, Cebu, Leyte), and Mindanao Is. would be a very very awesome roject!

[sugbuanon]

like the friendship bridge proposed by some governors in the visayas.. it would link negros-cebu-bohol..

check out the side view of the structure. it looks like an inclined/floating compact disc or sumthin. we rarely see those kind of structures in the Philippines. or is there such? hehe

[le Reine]

Gawa na ba 2ng cebu superdome or plan pa lang?

May nakita ako sa internet na pinaplanong gawing pinakamahabang bridge sa mundo. Search nyo na lang nakalimutan ko yung site. Sa Camiguin island yata yun connecting to mindanao...Ita-try ko ngang hanapin

[le Reine]

wala joke lang cguro ito... kahit ano naman sa internet eh. anyway... goodluck sana nga makagawa ng longast bridge sa 'pinas dream ko un.

[bulakenyo]

Matagal na tong Cebu Superdome na to eh. I think on hold ngayon ito.
