Light Railway Transit Sytem Line 1 or “LRT 1” for most of those living in Metro
Manila which starts from Monumento Station, Caloocan City to Baclaran Station

Baclaran route was inaugurated in 1st of December 1984 and an

"This is a two part post on the mass transportation project we have in the Philippines using trains."
It has been exciting two and half years with current President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s assumption to the highest seat of the Philippine government as the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines, succeeding former President Benigno S. Aquino III in June 30, 2016.
The Duterte
Administration's "Build, build, build" (BBB) program has been the
forefront of developing a nationwide economic revitalization and growth of our
country. This is just the continuation of some of the projects planned during
former President and now 4th District of Pampanga and House Speaker
Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and also some plans or projects from the
previous administration namely former President Fidel V. Ramos (1992 – 1998),
former President and now City of Manila Mayor Joseph Ejercito-Estrada and they
say former President Ferdinand E. Marcos as early as the late 1970s during his
dictatorship.
