TO help develop areas in and around railway stations being built by the Department of Transportation (DoTr), the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have signed a technical cooperation agreement for the project.

Railway station sites are located in Fort Bonifacio and will serve as models of the Philippines' Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) as well as prototypes of sustainable mixed-use communities with access to high-quality train systems.
