"Nakakagalit kasi pare-pareho tayong stakeholders dito. Ang ginamit na pera dito sa pag-aayos ng MRT ay pera ng bayan. Nakakapanlumo kasi... pagod ang binuhos dito ng ating mga kasamahan, 'yong mga naglilinis ng tren, security," said Eymard Eje, officer-in-charge general manager of the MRT-3.

(This is infuriating because we are all stakeholders here. The money that was used to improve the MRT is the people's money. It's depressing because... our line staff that cleaned the train and security were exhausted.)

According to initial investigation, the unidentified culprit deliberately cut through the fence of the MRT track between the Magallanes and Taft Avenue stations on Wednesday night. The train was idle at that moment as it waited for another train in front of it to move.
