Part of his development plan for Metro Manila and Cavite
After acquiring a toll road and launching a 10-lane avenue, Manny Villar now has his eyes set on taking over a portion of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension, then extending the line farther into Cavite.
Currently, Manny V. Pangilinan’s Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and the Ayala Corporation are developing and operating the LRT-1 via the joint venture company Light Rail Manila Corporation . Construction of the first 7km of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension is well underway; this covers the first five stations from Baclaran to Sucat, namely, Redemptorist, Manila International Airport, Asia World, Ninoy Aquino, and Dr. Santos.
Villar added that he wants to make the LRT-1 Cavite Extension even longer: “I want to extend it all the way to Silang, closer to Tagaytay,” stressing that his plans for the extension would come at no cost to the government.Read Next GOMO is raffling off a trip to the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix View other articles about:
