Get it done for the mrt3 commuters, the sobrepena group wont do it, theyll just milk their contract until 2025

A new concessionare wont do it for FREE

Do it, display that touted political WILL. unless this govt find a philantropist that will shoulder the cost then the govt have to find a way to deal with a strict govt procurement process

Mrt 3 talga, is the worst! nagmahal at mas mahal pa sa bus. Nung 2014 kasi 14php lang from first to last station tapos 34php ata kung i-ddaan mo sa bus.

Lrt 1 ibang tren okay yung iba...
Lrt 2 lang nakikita kong maganda.

Medyo sablay na din ang aircon ng mga tren sa LRT2 mas malamig pa yung mga lumang tren ng LRT1.

Hiring back the OEM provider is the first step in rehabilitating the troubled MRT3.

Excellent decision to go the G2G agreement...the contract will be between the GRP and the Japanese Government to greatly expedite the procurement process.

Gov't chooses Sumitomo Corp. as new MRT-3 maintenance provider

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 29) — Japanese firm Sumitomo Corporation, which originally maintained the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT-3), is the new maintenance provider for the troubled railway, transportation officials announced Wednesday.

The Philippine government is conducting "high-level discussions" with the Japanese government for "direct engagement" with the Sumitomo and its technical partner, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said in a statement.

Sumitomo and Mitsubishi designed and built the MRT-3 and had maintainted it from the start of operations in 2000 until 2012, when the contract with the companies expired.

"A G2G (government-to-government) agreement is scheduled to be signed before year-end," the DOTr said. "The maintenance and rehabilitation contract is intended to have a term of 3 years, and will include the rehabilitation and restoration of the system to its original performance standards."

Hindi ba tinanggihan na ng Sumitomo yan? Napabalita na nung isang araw unless nagbago isip?

Ahhhh Japanese govt na nilapitan nila.

Anyway, replacing a Japanese maintenance provider with someone is a very dumb decision. Pinagkaperahan lang talaga bago mag-election.

Meh FMD daw yung DOTr ASec, kasi fter niya sabihin yun, nagissue ng official statement DOTr denying it.

*haist* bakit kasi ang daming atat na atat magsalita sa media.\

Pero ang ginawa ng DOTr, G2G para wala ng bidding.

I remember an old Pugad Baboy cartoon strip where Joboy the mechanic recommends "palitan na lang po natin ng brand new".
