The Philippine Railway Institute (PRI) will be able to maximize its potential of producing world-class and competent railway personnel by collaborating with other government agencies and other railway stakeholders, Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista said.
Bautista emphasized the need of working with stakeholders with the same interest of reviving the country’s railway sector.
“The PRI will be unable to achieve its goals alone. You need loyal supporters and supportive allies. They will be your inertia towards the future,”. Bautista said.
The transport chief assured the railway training institution of the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) support in fulfilling its mandate.
“[The DOTr] will provide the anchor when you need a boost. You can always rely on your mother department,” he said.
Established in 2019, the PRI is the country’s pioneering railway training institution, which trains railway operators, and other key personnel to ensure that they have the required skills and qualifications.
