You know? Mismanagement malamang ang naging dahilan. PNR is a major transpo for all and it pays by itself. Recession of what, may sumasakay diyan and if money is mismanage, then walang perang pang maintain and if theres no maintenance , like refurbishing down engines, missing rails, missing screws, and the list goes on and on.
The person to lead PNR must have a heart and passion for the trains and save those moneys earned to buy new faster trains and better rails. I just wonder, papaano mag tatravel in one rail road ang express papuntang Bicol and those dmu's getting passengers just for metroman!ila use.
Again, the person to lead the PNR department must , must have the heart and passion mainly for the trains. It's hard to find one much less for the new president who will love to lead the Philippines.
Mabuhay po tayong lahat and please monitor the person who will lead this department of the government.
Or else this changes will go down the drain again. Sayang lang ang pinaghirapan ni Defensor at ang mga trabahador na naglinis, naglatag ng mga bagong riles * sleepers.

I am no Defensor admirer pero siya iyong naka mukha dito sa project na ito. I hope siya pa ren ang maglead ng PNR under the new government ni Noynoy/Mar next year. If not then the next guy has to have the passion for locomotives. Peace ! !

By the way, thanks again for the new pictures. Ganda ganda.
