SENATE PROBES ‘NEVER-ENDING’ MRT3 ISSUES: Senator Grace Poe, chair of the Senate Committee on Public Services, quizzes present and former officials of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Metro Rail System 3 (MRT3) and other resource persons at the hearing on the management and maintenance of the MRT3, Tuesday, May 23, 2017. Poe said that the ‘never-ending’ issues involving the MRT3 are unacceptable and must be urgently addressed, given that public funds are being spent for the maintenance and operation of the train system. “Although the MRT problem may be old news to some, it is still a problem that our commuters have to go through daily,” she said. Also in photo is Senator JV Ejercito, vice-chair of the same committee. (PRIB Photo by Albert Calvelo/ 23 May 2017)
