In 2011, the administration of Pres.Benigno Aquino pushed for the resumption of the rehabilitation of the damaged Bicol section of the railways, which was eventually completed up to Ligao City, Albay a year after.

[1] The Manila-Ligao trips were restored in early December last year, raising optimisms that rehabilitation works for the railway line down to here would be completed at once so that trains would be once more seen traversing its original route deep into the central point of Albay.The service became irregular by 2012 Due to Calamities until the line was once again closed in 2014 due to lack of Rolling Stock.

As of January 2014, only the existing PNR line between Naga and Sipocot in the Bicol region (35 km) remains operational.
