I just read this: Why politicians need to take 'MRT Challenge' | ABS-CBN News

and while I agree to a certain extent, why limit it there?

All government officials should take public transportation, period!

Be it the MRT, LRT, jeepney, bus, taxi, tricycle, habal habal, kuliglig so they will really experience what the everyday ordinaryfolks are used to.

Sama na natin mga legislators

Then they can do their regulatory and legislative work with the right and proper perspective
