LRT2, MRT3, PNR offer free rides for Filipino military veterans on April 5, 10 to 12

Filipino military veterans can ride the Light Rail Transit-2 (LRT2), Metro Rail Transit3 (MRT3), and Philippine National Railways (PNR) for free on April 5, 10, 11 and 12, the government announced on Wednesday.

According to the Department of Transportation (DOTr), this is in celebration of the Philippine veterans week and Day of Valor.

Eligible passengers were advised to present their identification card form the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) to avail the free rides.

The DOTr said the MRT3 management allows military veterans to bring one companion to avail the free rides on the same given dates.

Meanwhile, the LRT2, MRT3, and PNR will suspend operations starting April 6 until 9 to give way for maintenance activities.

The long weekend over the Holy Week will be even longer with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s proclamation moving the non-working day in observance of Araw ng Kagitingan or Day of Valor to Monday, April 10.

Meanwhile, the Philippine veterans week is celebrated from April 5 to 11 every year. —Richa Noriega and Sundy Locus/KBK, GMA Integrated News
