The UP Third World Studies Center at 45: The Mass Transit Project

 


For its forty-fifth anniversary, TWSC commits itself again to its prime mission of bringing critical understanding on how people in unequal societies like the Philippines quest for freedom. And how, in that very quest, it is unable to let go of its dehumanizing and corrupt authoritarian tendencies. With this in mind, the TWSC then would like to share some of its recent research and resources to the academic community and the public in general.

In 2018, the Center put up the website “The Mass Transit System in Metro Manila: From Tranvia to MRT, 1879-2014.” Besides interview recordings, maps, and written research outputs, the website also features a page dedicated to the historical documentary “Tranvia: Ang Mga Riles sa Kamaynilaan.” Other outputs of the program, which concluded in 2019, will be released within 2022.
