The Quezon City portion of the MRT Line-7–consisting of 12 stations will be operational by fourth quarter of 2025, Transportation Assistant Secretary for Railways Jorjette Aquino said.

During the Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas, Asec. Aquino said the Tala Station in Caloocan City will be completed by year 2026, while the San Jose del Monte Station in Bulacan is expected to be completed by 2027 once the alignment issues have been resolved.

“Magpa-partial operations po tayo ng 12 stations by end of 2025 at inaasahan naman po na yung next station—station 13 [Tala Station] na magiging operational by end of 2026,” Asec. Aquino said.

Asec. Aquino explained that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) is working with the San Jose del Monte local government in Bulacan for the realignment of routes to better serve its constituents.

“On going ang ating pakikipagusap sa San Jose Del Monte [LGU]. Nagsschedule kami this June ng inspection ng DOTr, San Miguel Corp. at San Jose LGU para makita ang kanilang proposed alignment at station location,” Asec. Aquino said.
