Chavit Singson clarifies status of Metrowalk Land on subway project

LUIS "CHAVIT" SINGSON

In a statement Sunday, Oct. 26, Singson bared that the demolition has officially begun to pave the way for the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) Ortigas Station.

But contrary to earlier reports suggesting that the property had been surrendered or fully acquired by the government, the approximately 12,752 square meters of land being used for the station is under a rental agreement--not government expropriation or full acquisition.
