Vice Ganda Complains About MRT Breakdowns, "I Have Been Paying High Taxes For That!"

Comedian and TV host Vice Ganda could not help but rant about the frequent breakdowns of Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3). On ABS-CBN’s daily noontime show “It’s Showtime” last Wednesday, February 21, he complained the worsening traffic in Metro Manila, too many vehicles on the road, as well the series of MRT 3 breakdowns.

“Dito, meron nang Grab, meron nang Uber, may bus, may kotse, lahat… may motor, lahat ‘yan, kaya saksakan ng dami ng trapik, e. Tapos ang MRT, panay-panay din ang paltik, di ba?” Vice Ganda told co-host Anne Curtis while they were interviewing a contestant of “Tawag ng Tanghalan.”

(Here, we have Grab, we have Uber, we have buses, cars, motorcycles, all of them, this is why there’s heavy traffic. Then the MRT, there’s always a glitch, isn’t it?)

“Tigil-tigil niyo na ang MRT na ‘yan. Naku, ang mahal-mahal ng tax na ibinayad ko diyan, hindi niyo naman nababagu-bago yung ano na ‘yan, MRT na ‘yan. Laging ngarag, laging kung anu-anong nangyayari, laging sira. Natatakot na yung mga pasahero. Ang haba-haba na ng pila!" The so-called Unkabogable Star lamented.

(Stop the MRT. I have been paying taxes for that, but you cannot improve that MRT. There’s problem every time, it is down every now and then. The passengers are getting scared. The lines of passengers are very long.)

“Kaya ang MRT [na] ‘yan, kung ako talaga magiging Pangulo, isasara ko ‘yang MRT na ‘yan, e. Isasara ko, tatanggalin ko yung mga tren, titira ko lang yung riles, tapos sesementuhan ko, gagawin ko na lang siyang park. Tutal, ang mga tao naman naglalakad din diyan, e, pag nasisira. Gawin nyo na lang park, di ba?” Vice Ganda noted.



(This is why that MRT. If I will be the president, I will close the MRT. I will remove the trains and retain the railway, then I will have cemented, I will convert into a park. Anyway, people walk there every time the MRT is down. Let’s just convert into a park.)
