The Philippine Coast Guard (PCGcommissioned )’s officers, enlisted men, and civilian employees can now ride for free on the Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) thanks to a mutually advantageous collaboration with the LRT-2’s operator, the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA).

The free trips are part of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed by officials and executives of the PCG and the LRTA on February 7, the PCG stated in a Facebook post on Thursday, formalizing “the PCG and LRTA’s mutual support and cooperation to best deliver to the public their respective responsibilities.”

The PCG will support security measures at LRT-2 stations by deploying teams to assist train employees, security personnel, and commuters in emergency exercises.

“During emergencies or crises, PCG K9 canines and handlers will be assigned to help train security personnel in patrolling and conducting security measures at LRT-2 stations,” the PCG said.

The PCG will use its medical service to conduct negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing on LRTA staff to help strengthen LRT-2 security against Covid-19.

“The PCG may also use the in-train passenger information system to keep commuters informed about the organization’s intentions, initiatives, and projects,” the PCG added.

LRTA officials will also take an oath as members of the PCG Auxiliary (PCGA) Executive Squadron, where they will vow to support the PCG on humanitarian and disaster relief activities, in addition to offering free rail rides to PCG troops.

The MOA will be in place for three years, according to PCG spokesperson Commodore Armando Balilo, “until canceled by mutual consent.”
