MANILA, Philippines — Commitments regarding the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite extension should move toward actual construction as the new stations have been long-awaited by people who seek faster and more efficient transportation modes, Las Piñas Rep. Mark Anthony Santos said.
In a statement, Santos said that the funding allocated to the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project for 2027—P1.17 billion—should ensure that people from the southern part of Metro Manila and its adjacent towns would soon benefit from the new stations.
The P1.17 billion is higher than the P799.64 million given to the project in 2026.
