Magallanes station is an elevatedMetro Rail Transit (MRT) station located on theMRT Line 3 (MRT-3) system inMakati. The station is named afterbarangay Magallanes of Makati, which in turn is named afterFerdinand Magellan. Although the station is named after Magallanes, it also serves passengers from Kayamanan-C and barangaysDasmariñas, Pio del Pilar, and San Lorenzo in Makati, and those fromTaguig.
The station is the twelfth station for trains headed toTaft Avenue and the second station for trains headed toNorth Avenue. It is the last station in Makati before it crosses over toPasay.
Magallanes station was opened on July 20, 2000, when MRT's operation was extended south toTaft Avenue, after previously operating betweenBuendia toNorth Avenue beginning in 1999. Its opening was delayed due to inclusion of additional work orders byDepartment of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), including the Tramo Flyover inPasay.[1][2] Links to Alphaland Southgate Mall and San Lorenzo Place Mall, respectively, were later added to the station as these malls opened in 2009 and in 2013, respectively.[3][4]
The station is the closest MRT station to theSouth Luzon Expressway, as well as toChino Roces Avenue. It is also located nearDasmariñas Village and Ecology Village, two major residential areas in the Makati area. It is also close to some prominent business headquarters and institutions, like those of the Philippine operations ofLevi's andGlaxoSmithKline, schools such asAssumption College San Lorenzo, Makati Hope Christian School, andColegio San Agustin-Makati, the upscale Paseo de Magallanes, Wilcon IT Hub, and Studio 300 bowling alley. The station is directly connected to Alphaland Southgate Mall and Tower,Teleperformance Building within the building, and San Lorenzo Place Mall.
The transport terminal outside the station servestricycles,taxis,jeepneys, andbuses. Buses that ply the EDSA and South Luzon Expressway routes (both city and provincial) stop near the station. Passengers may board jeepneys under theMagallanes Interchange, wherein these go to various locations inMetro Manila, such as northern and western Makati,Makati Central Business District,Taguig,Pasay,Parañaque, andMuntinlupa, and at San Lorenzo Place, where northbound jeepneys plying Chino Roces Avenue depart. Taxis are also available near the station and the taxi stands are located.
Passengers may also take a short walk toEDSA railway station, located below the Magallanes Interchange and west of Chino Roces Avenue, to take thePNR Metro Commuter Line. However, this was closed to give way for the construction of theNorth–South Commuter Railway (NSCR), which has its new station connected to that station.
