1.2.2 EIA Study Schedule and Area

The EIA study commenced with the pre-scoping activities conducted from 24 October to 04 December 2018 in
the five host cities (Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Bacoor and Dasmariñas) and 35 host barangays. The
pre-scoping activities included courtesy visits and information, education and communication (IEC) campaign
with city and barangay local government unit (LGU) officials, key informant interviews with LGU department
heads and staff (e.g. City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), City Traffic Management Office (TMO), City
Engineering Office, etc.), and focus group discussions with selected barangay and city officials.
The request for public scoping was submitted to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) after completion of the pre-scoping activities. The request for
scoping was submitted together with the following documents:
 Letter request for public scoping addressed to DENR-EMB
 Proof of conduct of IEC (documentation of IEC, FGD and KIIs) (Appendix 6)
 Initial perception survey results (Appendix 7)
 Proposed list of invitees for public scoping (Appendix 8)
 Draft invitation letter
 Draft presentation material
Preparation for the public scoping was commenced after DENR approved the scoping schedule. Arrangements
for the scoping venue were finalized and the invitation letters from DENR were distributed to the identified project
stakeholders.
The city-level public scoping was held from 18 to 20 February 2019 in the five host cities of the LRT 6 project. A
public scoping report (Appendix 9) was prepared after the scoping activities and this was submitted to DENR
EMB together with the request for technical scoping. The technical scoping with EIA review committee members
and EIARC resource persons was held on 08 March 2019 at the Environmental Impact Assessment and
Management Division (EIAMD) Conference Room. The scoping checklist accomplished during the technical
scoping is presented in Appendix 10.
Data collection for the EIA study was conducted from 11 March to 29 April 2019 while report writing was done
from April to May 2019. Client review of the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was done on June 2019,
after which a copy was submitted to DENR EMB for procedural screening.

1.3 EIA Summary
1.3.1 Summary of Alternatives
Siting
LRT Line 6 was originally intended as the Phase 2 of the LRT-1 South Extension from Niog Station in Bacoor
City to Governor’s Drive Station in Dasmariñas City passing through Aguinaldo Highway. The proposed project
which consists of four separate alignments that will connect southern Metro Manila with Cavite Province as well
as the eastern and western sections of Parañaque City and Muntinlupa City will provide an alternative
connection between the southern cities of Metro Manila and the northern cities of Cavite Province. LRT Line-6A
which will pass through Bacoor Boulevard, Molino-Paliparan Road and on privately controlled properties was
chosen as the alignment of the LRT-1 south extension since it will provide wider space for construction
compared to the limited space along Aguinaldo Highway which is further constrained by the presence of 69kV
transmission lines that will create an obstacle when using cranes during the erection of pre-fabricated I-girders.
The other project alignments which are located in the cities of Parañaque, Las Piñas and Muntinlupa are
experiencing rapid development through the establishment of commercial centers and housing projects whose
residents commute to Metro Manila daily for work and other business. The rapid development in these areas
have resulted in traffic congestion along major road networks and this project is seen as one of the best transport
alternatives that can alleviate the traffic condition in these areas.
In terms of natural hazards, the project sites are susceptible to ground shaking along with the rest of the country
that is located within the Philippine mobile belt. The nearest seismic generator to the project site is the West
Valley Fault and PHIVOLCS has assessed the proposed LRT 6 stations to be safe from ground rupture. The
eastern and western sections of LRT Line-6C and the northern segment of LRT Line-6A were assessed to have
moderate to high susceptibility to liquefaction hazards while the western segment of LRT Line-6B+C and the
northern segment of LRT Line-6A are within the tsunami inundation zone.
In terms of right of way (ROW) issues, land acquisition is foreseen in certain sections of LRT Line-6B located
within Parañaque and Las Piñas cities. The project proponent is expected to acquire affected properties
according to local and international guidelines on ROW acquisition for infrastructure projects.
Technology Selection
The horizontal and vertical alignments as well as the routes of the proposed project minimized land acquisition
issues and impacts along the routes. The project also aimed to reduce initial investment costs as well as
operation and maintenance costs; provide a fast, convenient, safe and comfortable service to users; and
connectivity of the project to other transport modes and railway lines.
To reduce initial investment costs, the LRT Line 6 alignments will be elevated except for sections within privately
controlled properties which will be on embankment. The use of ballasted track type will also help reduce initial
investment costs although the final selection will be done during the detailed engineering design stage.
The elevated structures will be designed to comply with the minimum vertical clearance requirement of DPWH
and will be consistent with the latest version of Philippine and international standards on infrastructure and
transportation development.

include ROW acquisition along the alignment of LRT Line-6B, noise and dust generation, and traffic congestion
in project segments where construction activities are taking place. During project operation, the project will help
alleviate the worsening traffic conditions in the host cities since it will provide an alternative transport option for
residents to and from Metro Manila.

1.3.3 Risks and uncertainties relating to the findings and implications for decision making
The proposed project has very few residual impacts that are expected to persist even with the implementation of
recommended mitigating measures. These include the impacts to residents and business owners along the
project alignment whose properties will need to be acquired for the project’s ROW as well as the potential
overcrowding and loss of airshed space in roads with narrow ROWs. The proponent will aim to minimize and limit
ROW acquisition and if ROW acquisition is inevitable, affected properties will be acquired following local and
international guidelines on ROW acquisition. The proponent is expected to acquire affected properties using fair
market values.
Seismic and other natural hazards are expected to persist with or without the project implementation. The
existence of these hazards, particularly liquefaction, ground shaking and tsunami should be considered in the
project design.
