Redemptorist-Aseana station, also known as Aseana station or its former name Redemptorist station,[2] [3] is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) system in Parañaque.[4] It is part of the Line 1 Cavite Extension Project, which was opened to the public on November 16, 2024. It is built in Aseana City in Barangay Baclaran and is named after both Aseana City and the adjacent Redemptorist Road, which is in turn apparently named after the Redemptorist Church (Baclaran Church) or the Redemptorists.
The station is the fifth station for trains headed to Fernando Poe Jr., the twenty-first station for trains headed to Dr. Santos, and is one of the five LRT-1 stations in Parañaque; the others are MIA Road, PITX, Ninoy Aquino Avenue and Dr. Santos. The station is the northernmost of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project.
The station, known as Redemptorist station during its inception, was first planned as part of the Line 1 South Extension plan, which calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7km (07.3miles). The extension will have eight passenger stations with an option for two future stations (Manuyo Uno and Talaba).[5] The project was first approved on August 25, 2000, and the implementing agreement for the project was approved on January 22, 2002. However, construction for the extension was repeatedly delayed until the project was shelved years later.
The plans for the southern extension project were restarted as early as 2012 during the Aquino administration and was expected to begin construction in 2014, but was delayed due to right of way issues. The issues were resolved in 2016 and the project broke ground on May 4, 2017.[6] Meanwhile, construction works on the south extension began on May 7, 2019, after the right of way acquisitions were cleared.[7] Shortly before the end of its construction, the station was renamed as Redemptorist-Aseana, associating it with its location in the Aseana City development.
On November 15, 2024, Phase 1 of the extension, where the station is part of, was inaugurated by President Bongbong Marcos; the LRMC management announced the start of its commercial operations to be on the following day.[8] [9]
Buses, jeepneys, and UV Express plying Baclaran (Parañaque's old transport hub) and Roxas Boulevard serve the station.
Since November 18, 2024, a modern jeepney route connects the station with the MIA Road station and the nearby Ayala Malls Manila Bay, offering free rides.[10]
The station is close to Baclaran Church, Seaside Market Baclaran, S&R Membership Shopping - Aseana, Department of Foreign Affairs Office of Consular Affairs, Singapore School Manila, and other office buildings and hotels in Aseana City.
