THE <\/strong>Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension <\/strong>is set to start its operation with five new stations on Saturday, November 16, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

President Ferdinand \u201cBongbong\u201d Marcos Jr. made the announcement on Friday during the <\/strong>inauguration of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project (L1CE) Phase 1, marking a significant milestone in modernizing the transport system in the Philippines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Phase 1 of the L1CE covers the five new stations: Redemptorist-ASEANA, Manila International Airport Road, Para\u00f1aque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), Ninoy Aquino Avenue, and Dr. Santos (formerly Sucat).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project is expected to serve an additional 80,000 passengers daily. It is projected to reduce the travel time between Baclaran, Pasay City and Bacoor, Cavite, from one hour and 10 minutes to just 25 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

President Marcos acknowledged his father, former President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., for initiating the construction of Metro Manila\u2019s first urban rail transit system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initial endeavor ultimately grew into the larger rail transit system that serves the National Capital Region, including the L1CE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOn this day, no one is happier than his son in seeing that his father\u2019s foresight is being validated by another work that expands mass transit that he had built for the people that he loved,\u201d the President said during the inauguration ceremony in Para\u00f1aque City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The President also expressed appreciation for his predecessors, acknowledging their efforts in advancing the L1CE project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe L-1-CE Project has been a long time in the making\u2014spanning five administrations, starting with President Estrada, to President Arroyo, President Aquino, President Duterte, and now, to mine,\u201d President Marcos said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe owe this progress to the hard work and dedication of my predecessors; we must recognize their roles in helping making this dream a reality,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 \u201cBy serving commuters across Metro Manila, Cavite, neighboring areas, the whole project creates a smoother, more reliable mode of transport,\u201d President Marcos said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The project is also expected to accommodate an additional 300,000 daily passengers in the first year of full operations and alleviate traffic conditions in the cities of Para\u00f1aque, Las Pi\u00f1as, and Bacoor, Cavite.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive also affirmed the government\u2019s commitment to a seamless, modernized public transportation system would continue, with additional rail projects like the MRT-7 and the North-South Commuter Railway. <\/strong><\/p>\n
