====Philippines==== The Manila Railroad Company (MRR) acquired its first multiple units in the 1930s. The locally-built MC class was initially powered by gasoline and was changed to diesel during [[World War II]]. Both the MRR and its successor, the [[Philippine National Railways]] (PNR), has since acquired various classes of diesel multiple units. All multiple units owned by MRR and all of the older MUs of the PNR were built by Japanese firms. On the other hand, its newer rolling stock were built in [[South Korea]] and [[Indonesia]]. There will also be DMUs that will be built in [[China]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chinese firm signs contract to supply trains for PNR Bicol project |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/12/18/19/chinese-firm-signs-contract-to-supply-trains-for-pnr-bicol-project |date=18 December 2019 |access-date=1 October 2020}}</ref> The first electric multiple units were acquired in 1984 for the [[LRT Line 1 (Metro Manila)|LRT Line 1]] built by [[La Brugeoise et Nivelles]] in [[Belgium]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Satre |first=Gary |date=June 1998 |title=The Metro Manila LRTβA Historical Perspective |url= https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr16/pdf/f33_satre.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170518232855/http://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr16/pdf/f33_satre.pdf |archive-date=2017-05-18 |url-status=live |journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review |volume=16 |pages=33β37}}</ref> The first EMUs to be used outside of [[rapid transit]] will enter service between 2021 and 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |url= https://www.bworldonline.com/dotr-prepares-to-award-rolling-stock-contract/ |title=DoTr prepares to award rolling stock contract |work= [[BusinessWorld]] |location= Manila |date=21 May 2019 |last=Valdez |first=Denise |access-date=21 May 2019}}</ref>
