Quezon Memorial Circle station is an under-constructionMetro Rail Transit (MRT) station located on theMRT Line 7 (MRT-7) and the proposedMRT Line 8 (MRT-8) systems within theQuezon Memorial Circle,Quezon City.
Close landmarks include theNinoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center,Department of Agriculture Building,Quezon City Hall,Department of Agrarian Reform Building, theNational Housing Authority (Philippines) andPTV Complex.
The groundbreaking ceremony for theManila Metro Rail Transit System Line 7 (MRT-7) took place at the site of the Quezon Memorial station on April 20, 2016.[1]
During development of the station, the Quezon City government suspended above-ground construction on February 18, 2020, as the proposed structure claimed to damage the park's integrity. The current space for construction is more than five times the indicated 4,997 square meters (53,790 sq ft).[2] MayorJoy Belmonte ordered a temporary cease and desist order on the above-ground construction of the station. Belmonte then discussed the issue withSan Miguel Corporation, EEI Corporation, and theDepartment of Transportation for further clarification.[2][3] At that time there was still no major above-ground structures at the site with most of the construction work still taking place underground. The design of the above-ground structure for the station was also still in the finalization phase.[4]
The initial design of the station was approved as far back as the term of former Quezon City MayorHerbert Bautista. It was also planned that a 2,500-square-meter (27,000 sq ft) establishment would be constructed above-ground and it would expand to 11,000 square meters (120,000 sq ft).[5][6] On February 28, 2020, authorities from San Miguel Corporation and EEI Corporation presented a revised design of the above-ground area of the station consisting of only a utility room. It reduced almost 11,000 square meters to 426 square meters (4,590 sq ft), and the height from 12 meters (39 ft) to 6 meters (20 ft).[5] Belmonte lifted the temporary cease and desist order on the same day.[7][5]
Quezon Memorial Circle station is one of two underground stations on the MRT-7.[8] It is located underneath theQuezon Memorial Circle, a national park in Pinyahan,Quezon City, enclosed by the roundaboutElliptical Road. The station is nearby many park museums like theQuezon Heritage House,Presidential Car Museum, and theQuezon MemorialShrine.[9]
Quezon Memorial Circle station will serve several landmarks around Elliptical Road. These include theNinoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center and several government buildings, particularly theQuezon City Hall,Department of Agriculture,Department of Agrarian Reform, and theNational Housing Authority. The station will be connected tovarious local bus routes, including the Quezon City Bus Service, via the city hall's bus stop.[9]
