LEA AQUINO ABABA, 32, of Protacio Street, Pasay City, gave birth to a healthy baby girl last May 5, 2005. But hers is unlike many other childbirths: She was the first LRT passenger to give birth inside one of the stations. She gave birth on her way to the Fabella Memorial Hospital for a checkup.
After assessing the situation, civil security officer Noel Catorce immediately informed the clinic at the Central Station. The nurse on duty, Juliet Carpio, then proceeded to the Doroteo Jose Station, and with the assistance of CSO Catorce, brought Mrs. Ababa to the Fabella Memorial Hospital. She was attended to by Dr. Jenny Mae San Luis.
The baby was named Dorotea, after the name of the station where was born. Mother an daughter recently visited LRTA Administrator Mel Robles on a courtesy call. In the spirit of the Yuletide season, Administrator Robles gave them some souvenirs from the Light Rail Transit Authority and a small amount.
