The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) said the agency immediately suspended the operation of both LRT Lines 1 and 2 for safety reasons.
“We are experiencing strong winds, flying debris, massive Meralco power interruptions that pose serious risks to passengers and trains,” said an LRTA spokesperson.
