ABAYA SHOULD RESIGN, NOW!

Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Sec. Jun Abaya SHOULD RESIGN, NOW, over the MISERABLE AND LIFE-THREATENING STATE of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) -Line 3.

That is, assuming he still has some SHAME AND DECENCE left in his system.

A story in interaksyon.com revealed that six of the 16.9-kilometer MRT-3 route needs to be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

And as early as August 20, 2014 former MRT-3 officer-in-charge Honorito Chaneco had informed the DOTC of maintenance provider Global-APT’s failure to “obtain and supply MRT-3 parts including stock rails,” as  provided for in the maintenance contract .

ABAYA DID NOT DO ANYTHING to Global-APT, as evidenced by .DOTC Undersecretary Edwin Lopez memorandum last Sept. 4 to current MRT-3 OIC Renato San Jose that the number of stock rails has gone down to 2.5 pieces from 29 pieces last year.

Now, San Jose warns that if there will be another rail breakage like what happened just last Tuesday, “we won’t allow the train to run,”

Imagine guys, if you can, the HAVOC OR CHAOS that the 500,000 to  600,000 MRT RIDERS will trigger in the NIGHTMARISH TRAFFIC WE’RE NOW SUFFERING if they will join the scores of commuters who wait for their rides to and from work or school everyday

But more importantly, think of how worse an accident can be due to the rail problem.

Anybody correct me if I’m wrong but from Aug. 20 up to now, Abaya has NOT ACTED WITH EVEN AN ATOM OF URGENCY to address the issue—no order  for a probe, no questioning or disciplinary action against APT-Global, NO NOTHING.

The 500,000 to 600,000 riders of the MRT-3 risk their lives and limbs daily. And Abaya wouldn’t GIVE A SHIT.

He’s just WATCHING, COMFORTABLY. from somewhere.

A public servant  WAITING for the next HELLISH INCONVENIENCE, if not  INJURY OR BLOODSHED, that the public he\s supposed to serve will suffer through the MRT-3.

For the MRT-3 commuters, here’s hoping Abaya still has some DECENCY and conscience left in him.30
