MANILA, Philippines – Repairs are ongoing in several stations of the Light Rail Transit Authority and may likely take the whole night, a spokesman said.

As a result, Cabrera said A. Santos, R. Papa, 5th Ave, Monumento, Balintawak at Roosevelt were closed as early as 11:30 a.m.

At around 4 p.m., Cabrera said trips were extended until Monumento station, but Balintawak and Roosevelt remain closed.
