The project demonstrated a positive impact of mitigating traffic congestion, and reducing air pollution substances such as Sox and NOx, as well as CO2 which is a major contributors of climate change.
A series of yen loan projects consisted of 10 sub-projects including Metro Manila Traffic Control Projects and Road Construction Projects. JBIC's assistance for constructing roads, two-level crossing roads, and Light Rail Transit (LRT) upgraded region's economic infrastructure, and the same time, by introducing traffic and air quality monitoring system, it significantly strengthened capacity to protect environmental condition by the local authorities.
