Hernando Cabrera said they have been fast-tracking the right-of-way acquisition for the project’s two additional stations namely Las Piñas and Zapote. “So, pina-fast track namin iyong pag-acquire ng right of way natin kasi may mga around 30 percent pa na kailangan na lupa para maisakatuparan natin itong Phase 2,” Cabrera said in a television interview Wednesday, June 11. “We’re hoping na probably within this month or next month, ma-resolve natin iyong mga certain issues doon sa kailangan natin na mga right-of-way para maitayo natin iyong Las Piñas station,” he added. In November last year, the government opened to the public five new stations under the first phase of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension projectThese are the Redemptorist-Aseana station, MIA Road station, PITX station, Ninoy Aquino Avenue station and Dr. Santos (Sucat) station.The second phase will consist of Las Piñas and Zapote stations while the third phase will be in Bacoor, Cavite.
