Informations
- The station code of Balagbag is BG.
- Balagbag is located 17.93 kilometers from Manila.
- The opening of FTI station in 1977 probably led to the declined number of passengers using the station, although it was still listed around 1980, the construction of the C5 Ramp may have been the real reason.
- The cut between Nichols and FTI stations near the C5 road was referred to as the former ridge where the tracks has steep grades.
- The grade was about 2% when the line was first opened, it was reduced by 1% during the later years.
- Balagbag was the only station of the Manila-Legazpi Line to be physically located at Pasay City.
- EDSA Station stands at Makati City, near the border of Pasay City.
