History

The Philippine government announced the first 13 stations of the Metro Manila Subway project in April 2017. [1] [2] Among the 13 proposed stations was Ortigas station in Pasig, announced under the working title Ortigas North. [1]

The Ortigas station broke ground on October 3, 2022, as part of the ₱17.75-billion Contract Package 104. [3] The contract was awarded by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) earlier that year on April 22, to the Tokyu–Tobishima–Megawide Joint Venture. [4] [5] Construction began on September 3, 2025; it was delayed for three years due to right-of-way (ROW) issues. [6] [7]

The station is currently being built at Metrowalk, an eight-hectare commercial hub in Ortigas Center run by the Singson family's Blemp Commercial of the Philippines. Property demolitions had started by late October 2025 and were led by DOTR assistant secretary Irish Calaguas, who acquired the ROW from the Singsons. Once built, Ortigas station will span an area of 12,752 square meters. [7] [8] Operations are expected to begin in 2032. [8]
