MRT 3 maintenance firm cries ‘unfair’
on govt ‘blame game’ over glitches

The maintenance provider of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 3 said on Tuesday that it was unfair for the Duterte administration to blame it for the glitches in the train system, insisting that it has delivered on its contractual obligations and even went beyond some of its requirements.

"It is unfair to continuously put the blame on us for every incidence of train stoppage that is generally and more often caused by the system's rail condition and increasingly evident design flaws," according to Charles Mercado, legal counsel and spokesperson of the Busan Universal Rail Inc. (BURI) in a media briefing in Makati.
