“Natutuwa akong malaman na 16 na trains na pala ang tumatakbo ngayon. Pero sana, huwag naman natin lokohin yung mga tao. Kitang-kita nyo naman na may pila pa rin sa ibaba at masikip pa rin, hindi ba?” Roxas told a few reporters, who rode with him in the MRT Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue (Buendia) station at around 7:45 am that day.
(I’m happy to know that there are now 16 trains running. But then, I hope we do not fool the public. You can clearly see that people still fall in line downstairs and it is being overcrowded inside, isn’t it?)
Roxas, who is now seldom being seen in public after losing the 2016 presidential elections, rode the MRT along with nearly 20 of this staff members. According to a netizen, his staff surrounded him, and prevented passengers to take photos of him. After the very short interview, he got off at Quezon Ave and was seen riding a green SUV.
“Si Mar talaga, pasaway! Panong di sisikip, dami nyang kasama, halos dikitan na siya at ayaw palapitan sa ibang pasahero. Tapos, syempre bukod pa yung usisero’t usisera na curious lang makita kung ano na itsura ngayon. Pinagbawalan pa yung iba na kumuha ng picture nya. Ano ba yan?!” The netizen wrote of Facebook, whose post is now going viral.
The DOTr said that 15 MRT trains started to run after Holy Week, and even posted photos of Facebook showing comfortable passengers of MRT during rush hour. But because it is only a partial solution, people will still need to fall in line. Nevertheless, the Transportation Department said there will be a total 20 trains running before the year ends.
