Metro By Rail Tour

Reese members visited the LRT 2 Depot at Santolan last October 4, 2008 and experienced first hand the Metro by Rails tour  being promoted by the Light Rail Transit Authority of the Philippines under the dynamic leadership of Administrator Melquiades Robles.

Reese would like to thank LRTA Administrator Melquiades Robles for letting Reese view LRTA’s modern depot at Santolan, Pasig.  Reese would also like to thank Jen Maala, Cecille Lingan and Engineer Merlo Bellardo for spending a Saturday afternoon with Reese members and guiding the society thru the different modern facilities of LRT 2.
