MPIC to pursue buyout of Ayala stake in LRT-1
The Philippine Star|February 21, 2024
Metro Pacific Investments Corp. plans to buy out the 35 percent stake of the Ayalas in the operator of Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) to beef up MPIC's portfolio for its eventual bid for other railways.

MPIC chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan told reporters the company is looking to acquire the Ayalas' stake in the Light Rail Manila Corp.

(LRMC) to become its majority owner with a 70.8 percent share.

LRMC operates LRT-1, one of the busiest transport options in Metro Manila that will expand to Cavite soon.

Pangilinan said MPIC's acquisition of the Ayalas' interest in LRMC would raise its railway business and fortify its bid for the concession to operate and maintain the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3).
