History

Construction progress of Batasan station as of March 23, 2019.

Construction of Batasan station in April 2022

Batasan station is part of the MRT Line 7, which was proposed initially in 2004. The line was supposed to begin its construction in 2005 with a target opening date in 2007. However, construction did not start until 2017, a decade after its target opening date. 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]

The official working name of the station during the design phase is Station 6. It 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 while Manggahan station was previously called as North Batasan.^{[citation needed]}

As of 31 January 2023^[update], the project is 66.07% complete;^[2] the station's construction is to be finished by June of the same year.^[3]

During the southwest monsoon rains of July 2025, the station was flagged by the Metro Manila Development Authority as a possible contributor to the severe flooding along Commonwealth Avenue area, citing obstructions from its columns, footing wall, and manhole over drainage culverts.^[4] However, MRT-7 Project Management Office denied this, asserting that all station structures were built outside drainage lines based on approved plans, and blamed the flooding on clogged drains caused by plastic waste and debris.^[5]
