                    [Summary] => Canada-based SNC-Lavalin will invest more than $1 billion in the Philippines to help the government finance the expansion of the Light Railway Transit (LRT) system in Metro Manila.


This was revealed yesterday by Filipino-born Canadian Secretary of State Dr. Rey Pagtakhan during a press briefing in Malacañang following his courtesy call on President Arroyo.


Pagtakhan said the project, which was approved in principle by the President a year ago, would give a strong signal to the world that the Philippines is a safe country to invest in.
