MRT-3 crash: Abaya blaming train drivers, not compadre-contractor
GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc (The Philippine Star) | Updated August 15, 2014 - 12:00am

The Metro Rail Transit (MRT)-3 is still examining if mechanical or human failure caused last Wednesday’s train crash. But hasty Transport Sec. Joseph Emilio Abaya already has a conclusion. Two train drivers did it, he insists, and so had them booked by the Pasay City police. That’s of course to cover up the real culprit: sloppy maintenance of the railway by the contractor, his own compadre, one Marlo dela Cruz.

Reading between the lines of the initial incident report, non-upkeep truly is to blame. The drivers are least culpable, and even their fault can be traced to dela Cruz’s Global Inc., in joint venture with Autre Porte Technique (APT).
