Infrastructure
Infrastructure in a country of crossings
Rail in the capital, airports between islands, and flood water. A drawing of a line is a separate document.

Infrastructure note. Operating systems, announced ones, and who would have to pay.
The longer country file is the Philippines market hub.
The useful test in an archipelago is whether a person can use the system today: a train that is open, a flight that runs, power that stays on, drainage that holds in the wet season. A line on a drawing is a different object. A flat marketed beside a future station is a bet on delivery, not an infrastructure asset.
Which lines are open in Metro Manila, and which airports organise the other islands, is kept on the country hub so the list is not maintained twice. This note is the test, and the question of who pays.
