MANILA - Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade on Friday approved the recommendation of MRT-3's operator to suspend its scheduled weekend shutdown and repair works due to typhoon Rolly, DOTr said.

The railway was supposed to be shut from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 to give way to repairs related to rail replacements, DOTr-MRT3 director for operations Michael Capati said.

"Ito ay upang ma-protektahan ang mga manggagawa ng MRT-3 na magiging bahagi ng mga gagawing aktibidad sa mga nasabing petsa," the DOTr said in an advisory.

(This is to protect the workers of MRT-3 that will be part of the activities on the said dates)

The operator will soon announce the new dates for the shutdown, the DOTr said.
