Construction
The official working name of the station is Station 6. The station is also known by another previous working name: South Batasan. It was named so because it is located at the southern end of Batasan Road.
Groundbreaking of the station began on October 7, 2017, with a simple ceremony being held before the concrete pouring for the station's bored pile foundations.[1]
