A Filipino passenger boards a train at a station in Taguig city, south of Manila, Philippines, yesterday. State-owned train system Philippine National Railway (PNR) will upgrade its railways and locomotives through partnership with American based companies Miescorrail, Desco, and General Electric (GE), according to United States embassy trade commissioner Jim McCarthy. The rehabilitation of PNR is the first major upgrade since its acquisition and signified the renewal of business ties between the Philippines and the US, McCarthy added.
