    They should not be using the rails anymore. It's too old, the wood slippers are rotten with nails that are as old or older than the republic. We need a totally new railway.

    Kulang sa maintenance. They should regularly inspect and replace the rotten wooden sleepers.

    Singapore's MRT is replacing their wooden sleepers with concrete ones.

    According to the news, the PNR was asking a few billion pesos to completely overhaul and possibly expand the network. Congress gave them only a couple hundred million. Bakit nga naman, when road construction and repairs, waiting sheds, multi-purpose halls and basketball courts are more profitable (financially and politically) .
