President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. marks a breakthrough in the Metro Manila Subway Project after a tunnel boring machine completes excavation work for the segment covering North Avenue station to Quezon Avenue station. During an inspection in Quezon City, he says the tunnel boring operation has finished excavation of about 1.1 kilometers, at a depth of about 34 meters underground, from the southbound side of North Avenue to Quezon Avenue.
Marcos also notes that tunneling continues beyond Quezon Avenue, with operations proceeding toward East Avenue station. Reporting from outlets agrees on the existence of the breakthrough and the North Avenue-to-Quezon Avenue progress, while some accounts emphasize the tunnel boring machine milestone, and others describe the breakthrough more broadly as a stage in connecting the line between those stations as work progresses further.
