In a statement sent to the PIA-NCR, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) accepted M/B Vicente, a 50-seater ferry boat donated by New San Jose Builders, Inc. (NSJBI), in a turnover ceremony held at Guadalupe Ferry Station in Makati today, March 4. MMDA Chief Benhur Abalos expressed his gratefulness to the NSJBI, headed by its Chairman Jose Acuzar, for the donation that he said is “expected to augment the shortage of ferry boats for our day-to-day operations.” In a statement, Acuzar said that the NJSBI is honored to be a part of the solution to alleviate heavy traffic. “The Pasig River Ferry Service is an effective alternative transportation that doesn’t just lessen the land vehicle volume but also promotes the beauty of the historic river,” he explained.
