The station is the fourteenth station southbound from Tutuban and is the only Philippine National Railways station in Parañaque.

History

The station was opened on January 19, 1977.[1] It was renovated in 2009.

On March 28, 2024, station operations were temporarily suspended to make way for the construction of the North–South Commuter Railway.[2] The station was subsequently demolished to be rebuilt as an elevated station.[3] In July 2026, Filinvest Land Inc. donated its 6,000-square-meter (65,000 sq ft) parcel of land to the Department of Transportation to commence construction on the new NSCR station, which is expected to be completed in 2031.[4] It will serve as one of two future interchange stations connecting with the Metro Manila Subway, along with FTI station.[5]

The station is near major landmarks such as the Bicutan Public Market, the headquarters of the Department of Science and Technology, offices of the Philippine National Construction Corporation, SM City Bicutan, and Azure Urban Resort Residences. Further away from the station are the Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Taguig, Taguig City University, Camp Bagong Diwa, Walter Mart Bicutan, and the Upper Bicutan National High School.
