Governor Pascual railway station (also called as Malabon or Acacia station) is a railway station of the Philippine National Railways (PNR). It is located and situated adjacent to Governor Pascual Avenue, Barangay Acacia in Malabon, Metro Manila.
The Philippine National Railways (PNR) is a state-owned railway company in the Philippines, operating a single line of track on Luzon. As of 2016, it operates one commuter rail service in Metro Manila and local services between Sipocot, Naga City and Legazpi City in the Bicol Region. PNR began operations on November 24, 1892 as the Ferrocarril de Manila-Dagupan, during the Spanish colonial period, and later becoming the Manila Railroad Company (MRR) during the American colonial period. It became the Philippine National Railways on June 20, 1964 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4156. The PNR is an agency of the Department of Transportation.
Governor Wenceslao Pascual Avenue, commonly known as simply Governor Pascual Avenue, is the principal east-west artery in the city of Malabon in Metro Manila, the Philippines. It is an unsigned route in the Philippine highway network classified by the Department of Public Works and Highways as a national tertiary road. The 4.43-kilometre (2.75 mi) two-lane avenue is the longest of the city's national roads. Portions of it are prone to flooding from the Tullahan River which flows just north of the avenue in east-central Malabon.
Malabon, officially the City of Malabon,, or simply known as Malabon City, is a 1st class highly urbanized city in Metro Manila, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 365,525 people.
Historically, the station is named after the adjacent Acacia village, where the old station once stood. Presently, it is named after the road, which is, in turn, named after Governor Wenceslao Pascual, who was the administrator of Malabon, formerly then-municipality of Rizal when it was split from Navotas. [1]
The old station was demolished during clearing operations in 2007 for the ill-fated and renegotiated Northrail. In 2018, after consultations with the Malabon City LGU, DOTr and PNR intended to restore the at-grade railway station here, despite no longer being a designated stop in the elevated Northrail system. It is the most recent expansion of the Caloocan-FTI line beyond Caloocan, and the first time in 2 decades that there has been rail activity. [2]
In September 2018, PNR engineers commenced the exploration of the site of the old Acacia railway station, and drafted plans to rebuild the dismantled rail lines there and set a target to reopen the service and station before the end of 2018. [3] A ceremony was held to officially mark the commencement of the restoration of services. [4] Soon after, railroad tracks were laid down along with ballasts. It required the restoration of Samson Road railroad crossing, which was done on November 23, 2018, [5] which enables the PNR to serve Malabon City once again. Services to Governor Pascual resumed on December 3, 2018, after two decades of hiatus. [6]
The rails that cover the radius of this station was dismantled and replaced with standard gauge tracks, which have also been dismantled for the NLEX Segment 10.1. Construction materials related to the NLEX Segment have been moved to make way for the restoration of the at-grade rails.
The railroad crossing along Governor Pascual Road is pending restoration, as it was dismantled too during the clearing operations and eventual road reblocking.
Governor Pascual is lined with stores and establishments. Further to the west is Robinsons Town Mall Malabon, heading to Navotas, while to the east, Malabon City Zoo is located, leading back to Monumento in Caloocan City.
Robinsons Town Mall Malabon is a shopping mall located in Malabon, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is the first full service mall in Malabon owned and managed by Robinsons Land Corporation, the second largest mall operator in the Philippines. The mall was opened in 2013. It is the 37th mall opened by Robinsons in the Philippines and the first and only Robinsons mall in Malabon and the whole CAMANAVA area.

The public transportation system in Metro Manila, Philippines is inadequate to accommodate the mobility and other basic needs of a densely populated metropolis, the result of many factors and problems that the government has failed to deliver. Metro Manila exists in a state of heavy traffic congestion, with people and goods trapped by the very transportation system that is supposed to move them quickly and efficiently. Because of the insufficient public transportation network, car ownership has risen dramatically, contributing further to the congestion that occurs at all times of day on the road. Filipinos view cars as tools to get them to where they need to go; they also believe that their car is an important symbol of the success they have achieved in life. In recent years, however, the Philippine government has been pushing to improve the system through various infrastructure projects, hoping to solve the interlinked problems of transportation, land use and environment.

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
