MANILA - The MRT-7 is still on track to partially begin operations in the last quarter of 2025, the Department of Transportation said on Thursday.  

Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista made the announcement following San Miguel Corp's earlier statement that the completion of the mass transit project which will connect Quezon City and Bulacan, may be pushed back to 2028.

Bautista said the partial operations will cover the first 12 stations of the rail line from North Ave. Station up to Quirino Station.

“Magsisimula ‘yan mula sa SM North Edsa hanggang Lagro, QC,” he said. (It will start from SM North EDSA to Lagro, Quezon City.)

Meanwhile, the Tala Station in Caloocan and San Jose Del Monte Station in Bulacan will be serviceable by 2026 and 2027, respectively, Bautista said. 

Thre transport chief meanwhile said proposals to extend the rail system further to Sta. Maria, Bulacan near the New Manila International Airport (NMIA), will need to be further studied.

“Sa ngayon wala pang funding. Pero pagaaralan natin. Gagawan natin ng feasibility study. Pero ang maganda rito tuloy-tuloy ang construction ng MRT-7,” Sec. Bautista said.

(Right now, there is no funding. But we will study it. We will make a feasibility study. But the good thing is the construction continues.)

San Miguel, which is building the MRT-7, also said partial operations of the MRT-7 would proceed next year, but the completion of the line up to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, may be delayed up to 2028 as the local government of San Jose Del Monte pushes for a realignment of the line.
