History
Pasay Road was opened on June 21, 1908 as Culi-Culi station, named after the barangay of the same name (now called as Pio del Pilar) where it is located.
The station building and platforms were renovated in 1975 as Pio Del Pilar station following the double tracking of the line from Paco up to this station. The double tracking of Main Line South was further extended, reaching Sucat by 1978.
A new platform was built in 2009 north of the old station building.
