The Metro Rail
Transit Corporation expresses concerns on the purchasing of new trains which
are scheduled to arrive next year may not be compatible with the system. MRTC
Chairman Robert John Bob Sobrepeña says the DOTC has kept them out of the loop
in MRT Holdings operations. He adds, they were not consulted on the purchase of
the new trains.
Malacañang is quick to rally, defend, coddle (pick
any of those that will all work just the same) behind embattled Transportation
and Communications Secretary Jun Abaya.Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda affirmed that
Abaya is ready to clear his name on the alleged anomalous Metro Rail Transit
(MRT) 3 contract although he would not be compelled to go on leave pending the
investigation by the Ombudsman. But still to be tagged as Abaya corruption you should have
delicadeza to resign.
According to him this is another arena where
Secretary Jun Abaya will be willing and ready to face whatever accusation is
hurled against him. Why can’t he do it now? Why will he have to wait til he is
asked to do so?
