MANILA, Philippines- Nakatakdang pag-aralan ng Zip Infrastructure ng Japan ang feasibility ng cable car system sa Camp John Hay sa Baguio, bilang bahagi ng kasunduang nilagdaan sa Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) na nagmamay-ari nito.
Sa ilalim ng memorandum of understanding (MOU) na nilagdaan sa Zip Infrastructure, ihahanda ng Japanese firm ang feasibility study para sa operasyon at maintenance ng self-driven cable car system nitong Zippar sa Camp John Hay.
“This technology promises to enhance urban mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and promote environmentally sustainable transportation solutions,” pahayag ni BCDA president at chief executive officer Joshua Bingcang.
“By leveraging Zippar technology, we can create a seamless and efficient transport system within Camp John Hay making it more accessible and enjoyable for residents and visitors alike,” dagdag niya.
Tinintahan ni Bingcang at Zip Infrastructure chief executive officer Takamasa Suchi ang MOU, na sinaksihan nina Transportation secretary Jaime Bautista at Zip Infrastructure director and head of business development Mario Ian Carlos Ferido Rebonquin.
Base sa website nito, ang Zip Infrastructure ay may kaugnayan sa paggawa at pagbebenta ng transportation equipment, civil engineering at construction work, land transportation at turning ng automobiles, at automobile freight transportation.
Kasunod ito ng pulong ng economic managers ng Marcos administration — kasama sina Bingcang at Bautista — sa Japanese firms sa layuning palawigin ang presensya nito sa Pilipinas.
Gayundin, sinabi ng BCDA nitong weekend na lumagda rin ito sa isang MOU saklaw and three-year partnership sa Organization of Public-Private Partnerships Promotion Support (OPPS) ng Japan upang pangasiwaan ang pagsusulong ng investment opportunities sa New Clark City at iba pang BCDA economic zones sa Japanese firms.
“OPPS as a steadfast advocate for BCDA’s projects, and leveraging on your Japanese network and expertise to attract investment and foster international partnerships will be crucial and invaluable in raising awareness about the opportunities available in New Clark City and in facilitating collaborations with global stakeholders,” ani Bingcang.
