The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) marked its 45th anniversary on July 11, 2025, with a celebration at the LRT Line 2 Santolan Depot.

The event brought together LRTA Board members, officers, and staff to honor almost five decades of service. It featured recognition awards for loyal and dedicated employees.

The celebration started with a Thanksgiving Mass, followed by registration. LRTA Administrator Hernando T. Cabrera welcomed guests and introduced the guest of honor.

The program included PRAISE Awards and Loyalty Awards for employees’ years of service, including 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years. Retirees who spent their careers with LRTA were also recognized.

The evening ended with dinner, raffles, and entertainment.

“LRTA has been a steady partner to passengers—students, workers, families, and communities,” said Cabrera. “Every journey links them to their dreams, work, and homes.”
