This LRT station was named after Doroteo Jose.


Doroteo Jose is a patriot. He was punished by the Spaniards for organizing a group to push for the ousting of a corrupt archbishop.

 

Si Doroteo Jose ay isang bayani. Siya ay pinarusahan ng mga Kastila dahil sa pag-oorganisa ng isang grupo upang isulong ang pagpapaalis sa isang masamang arsobispo.


In recognition of what he did, the former Melba Street in Sta. Cruz was named Doroteo Jose in 1914, when an LRT station was also located.

The station has a daily average of 27,000 passengers.
