LRT-1 Free Rides
For Pasay City West High School Students
I offered the free ride for Pasay City West High School students who rode the LRT-1 from Libertad going to EDSA or Baclaran station. The offer is implemented to help students to save their spending from riding the LRT-1 train that is intended to save and use it for school activities and personal spendings due to fare hike to all railway lines. Originally, the free ride program runs from April 1 to November 28, 2023.
However, as the song

The program was stopped during the transition of new school year 2024–2025 in order to prioritize academic and financial needs.

I decided to make an special offer to Pasay City West High School students, the free train rides in LRT-1 that who rode from Libertad to EDSA and Baclaran stations.As the hike is not yet to be implement, the program officially starts from April 1 until April 30, 2023. On April 27, 2023, two students were given a train ride for free by availing the free ride. After two students availed the free LRT-1 rides, the program was extended its duration until May 15 then extended again to June 30.
On July 3, only few students are attending the Pasay City West High School so I marked the free ride program ended on June 30.
On August 2, 2023, the fare hike was implemented. The fare from Libertad to Baclaran/EDSA is still ₱15, only stored value card does (from ₱12/13 to ₱15). As most students rode with purchased signle journey ticket, the hike was no effect for short rides.
On August 23, 2023, I announced that the program will be implemented again on August 29 until November 28, 2023 due to fare hike was implemented and to help students to save for personal and school purposes. And on November 28, 2023, the program ends.
After few months of inactivity to this program, on March 4, 2024, I announced that the program will be took in place on March 5 to honor his best friend's birthday. After the song
