Your hard work and dedication are a testament to the future of sustainable and disaster-resilient railway development in the Philippines.
𝐌𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐲 𝐈𝐬𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧!🌟

Get ready to accelerate the future of Philippine railways! The Philippine Railways Institute, Asian Development Bank, JICA - Japan International Cooperation Agency, and Transportation Science Society of the Philippines - TSSP are thrilled to announce a featured speaker at this year’s : Juliana V. Bonete

Ms. Bonete will represent all the authors who contributed to writing the research: Meg Ryan Bangoy, Brylle Deen Caraca, Christiniel P. Feril, and Loren Joy D. Tonido. Their research instructor, Paul Allen B. Patriarca, who is now with PRI, previously presented at .

Ms. Bonete is a 4th-year student in the Railway Engineering and Management Department at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Her group recently won the Transconverge 2025 research pitching competition with a study on the last-mile connectivity and multimodal accessibility of the MRT-3 Taft station.

As an active student leader, she serves as the Auditor for the American Concrete Institute PUP Student Chapter and was the lead organizer for the first Railway Engineering Hard Hatting and Pinning Ceremony. She also holds a Safety Officer 2 certification and recently completed an internship at Light Rail Manila Corporation.

At , Ms. Bonete will present her group's paper, "GIS-Based Disaster and Risk Vulnerability Assessment of Flood and Storm Surge of Selected NSCR Stations in Bulacan," highlighting the role of new engineers in enhancing the climate change readiness of railway operators.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain knowledge from the next generation of railway professionals who represent the bright future of Philippine railways.

Hard hats on, worries off! Grateful for the milestone, but even more grateful for the people to share it with.

Dumping the moments that made our Hard Hatting and Pinning Ceremony unforgettable. Here’s to more tracks to lay and more wins to celebrate together! 🚉✨
