Description

The station is the sixteenth station southbound from Tutuban and is one of three PNR stations serving Muntinlupa, the two others being Sucat and Muntinlupa. The station is located on T. Molina Street in Alabang, Muntinlupa, near the Alabang Viaduct of the South Luzon Expressway.

Alabang station is the only PNR station to be completely rebuilt in a different location, having been moved from its original location at Montillano Street to behind Starmall Alabang on T. Molina Street. The new station was opened on April 19, 2010. The other one is Dela Rosa station which moved a block south to better accommodate longest trains and mitigate traffic congestion at the grade crossing along Gil Puyat Avenue.

Nearby landmarks

The station is located within the residential and commercial area of Alabang. It is also near educational institutions such as the Saint Bernadette College of Alabang and Alabang Elementary School and other shopping centers like Lianas Supermarket and Department Store and South Park Center. Further away from the station are Filinvest City, Saint Francis of Assisi College Alabang, West Bay College, and San Roque Catholic School - Annex, and Pedro E. Diaz High School.

The station was directly connected to Starmall Alabang until it was closed due to a 2022 fire and later demolished. [1]

The station is accessible through jeepneys plying the South Luzon Expressway, Alabang-Zapote Road, Manila South Road (National Highway), and Montillano Street routes. A terminal for buses and jeepneys could be found at Vista Terminal Exchange, which is located beside the former Starmall Alabang, while the South Station jeepney terminal is located across the mall on the other side of the South Luzon Expressway. A point-to-point bus terminal is also found near South Park Center.
