This state of scholarship has resulted in a handful &nbsp;of so-called experts in urban planning, who by virtue of their advanced age, have arrogated unto themselves all the supposed wisdom of how the current mass transit system in Metro Manila came to be. The voices of the people who &nbsp;have really devoted a significant portion of their talent and lives dealing with the mass transit issues in Metro Manila must be given a platform of their own.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oral history project thus &nbsp;offers to the public voices and faces of people who, most of whom, have worked only in the background, away &nbsp;from the political limelight, yet were instrumental in crafting the plans that led to the current mass transit system in Metro Manila.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/index.php\/dr-primitivo-cal\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1280 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF0710-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF0710-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF0710-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF0710-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"figure-caption text-center\">Dr. Primitivo Cal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/index.php\/mr-rodolfo-cuenca\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1289 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6772-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6772-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6772-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6772-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"figure-caption text-center\">Mr. Rodolfo Cuenca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/index.php\/engr-teodoro-t-encarnacion\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1287 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF5443-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF5443-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF5443-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riles.upd.edu.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCF5443-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"figure-caption text-center\">Engr.
