P57-million monthly MRT maintenance fee… where does it go?

Perhaps, the next time the Senate resumes its investigation on the Metro Rail Transit issue, the lawmakers should ask Autre Porte Technique Global, the maintenance provider of MRT 3, where the P57-million monthly payment supposedly for the upkeep of the said mass transport system goes.

Observers, however, believe the said amount only goes to the pockets of the officials of APT Global, particularly its Chairman and CEO Mario Dela Cruz, instead of being spent on spare parts for the trains.
