The Baguio City Local Government Unit (LGU), in coordination with Megawide Construction Corporation, recently conducted a site inspection of the designated area for the construction of the Baguio City Integrated Terminal. 

Megawide Construction Corporation is the company behind the construction and operation of the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) in Pasay City. 

The company has received the Notice of Award, securing the 40-year lease agreement for the construction and management of the upcoming terminal facility in Baguio.

The terminal will rise on a five-hectare property in Brgy. Dontongan along Marcos Highway.

The construction is targeted to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

According to the LGU’s statement, the terminal project aims to improve the city’s transportation system and decongest major roads.

The facility is expected to accommodate up to 25,000 passengers and 400 buses daily. It will also serve southbound routes connecting Baguio City to La Union, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila, and Cavite.

Authorities also confirmed that 28 families residing in the area will be affected by the construction of the terminal.

City Social Welfare and Development Officer III Liza Bulayungan assured that affected residents will receive assistance and will not be displaced without support.

“Tutulungan ng company na they will be staying in temporary housing siguro and some of them will engage in the construction work here. Depende kung ano yung mga skills nila na pwedeng makatulong. Continuous ang assistance sa kanila ever since. May mga training na kinonduct.”
