Malvar station

The station, as Gen. Malvar, was initially planned as an intermediate station of EDSA North Transit (ENT) Link Stage 1. The line is a separate project that would have linked the MRT Line 3's terminus at North Avenue station with the LRT Line 1 and PNR North Main Line in Caloocan. During that time, no rail lines operated along the northern section of EDSA. In September 2008, Caloocan Mayor Enrico Echiverri urged a petition for an additional station to be constructed at the corner of EDSA and Malvar Street in Bagong Barrio. Studies by Caloocan's City Planning and Development Department showed that the Monumento station would be congested once the line extension project is completed. The study also added that the station would create economic opportunities for the Bagong Barrio area, as it is a priority development area. On November 3, 2008, residents of Caloocan blocked a section of EDSA as they staged a rally in order to urge the national government to push through with the Bagong Barrio station proposal. The Caloocan city government later declared that it would not release the necessary permits for construction in the Caloocan area should the Bagong Barrio Station proposal be rejected. In January 2009, the National Government approved the proposal of the Caloocan government for the additional station. ==Current status==

In a project update, the LRTA has designated the Bagong Barrio station as Malvar station. The feasibility study for the station was concluded on 22 December 2010. However, bidding for the station is yet to be scheduled. There are currently no updates pertaining to this proposed station, reportedly shelved by the Benigno Aquino III administration. It was later revived by the Bongbong Marcos administration, along with the pending completion of Cavite extension phases 2 and 3. ==See also==
