Because you will have Right-of-Way problems doing a parallel track. Imagine spending billions having to buy land all the way to Tarlac from Edsa QC. The middle track is empty and ready to be used at almost no cost land-wise.

Think like a businessman. Manny P. most likey saw the beauty of the middle track even before they bought the SLEX project.
