The Villar Group of Companies is set to formalize its commitment to donate land for the proposed Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Las Piñas Station through an agreement with the national government, according to the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA).
The announcement was made during a briefing before House lawmakers on Thursday, signaling progress on the infrastructure project aimed at expanding the capital region's rail network southward.
The Las Piñas station represents part of the broader LRT-1 extension plans to serve communities south of the existing line. The land donation by the Villar Group, one of the Philippines' major business conglomerates, is expected to facilitate faster project implementation and reduce government acquisition costs.
Details regarding the exact location of the parcels, their total area, and the timeline for station construction were not immediately disclosed. The LRTA is expected to provide further updates as the agreement moves toward execution.
