Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) head Sonny Coloma gave me the laugh of the past week when he had the gall to tell the public complaining about the inhumanity of the MRT to start taking public buses.

“Yung MRT lang ba ang puwedeng sakyan doon sa mga rutang dinadaanan nito? Baka naman puwedeng matuklasan yung iba pang mga options. Alam natin na sa EDSA lang, libu-libo ang mga passenger buses. Hindi naman siksikan ‘yung mga bus na ‘yon.” He went on: “Siyempre may advantages yung MRT in terms of economy and efficiency, dahil nga walang traffic kapag nakasakay ka na. Pero siguro panahon na para tingnan din yung ibang mga opsyon habang hinihintay natin yung pagdating ng mga bagong bagon ng MRT.”
