The Department of Transportation and National Housing Authority launched projects to build a railway connecting Metro Manila and Pampanga, alongside new housing units for families affected by the construction. The 147-kilometer North-South Commuter Railway is expected to be partially operational by the end of 2027. Housing construction is underway, including the San Fernando View Residences in Mexico town, which will have 288 units and be completed next month. Additionally, the Casa Angeles project in Angeles City, which will have 615 units, is expected to finish in December 2027.
