MANILA - Full operations of the LRT-2 may be restored in 2 to 3 months, the Light Rail Transit Authority said Monday.The LRT-2 last week resumed partial operations, servicing passengers between Recto and Cubao stations, after a fire damaged power rectifiers between Anonas and Katipunan stations.The train line&#x27;s engineers, however, are still assessing the damage, LRTA spokesperson Hernando Cabrera said.&quot;By Christmas &#x27;yun ang objective natin. That is, depende sa magiging resulta ng paghihimay sa nasirang parts,&quot; he told reporters.Cabrera said there was a &quot;big possibility&quot; that authorities could do a component-by-component replacement of damaged parts which would quicken the timeline of repair.Authorities earlier said it would take 9 months before the LRT-2 could resume full operations as spare parts for the repair of the power rectifiers that caught fire would have to be ordered from other countries.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/04/19/no-lrt-2-operations-in-3-stations-in-the-next-9-months">No LRT-2 operations in 3 stations in the next 9 months</a></li></ul>The LRTA is planning to add another train to the current 5 deployed in the LRT-2 line, Cabrera said.<div>--Report from Jekki Pascual, ABS-CBN News</div>
