We’re dying to know.
“Attorney David Narvasa, spokesman of Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Holdings, said that the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) should be held liable for the crash of a defective MRT 3 train at the Pasay City station last Wednesday, August 13,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
Narvasa explained that MRT-3 “was the product of a build-lease-transfer agreement between Metro Rail Transit Corp. (MRTC) and DOTC in 1997.”
MRT Holdings owns 100 percent of MRTC.
Navasa said that “under the agreement, the MRTC will build the whole system but it is the DOTC that operates the MRT-3.”
“We are paid lease payments, like rental fees, by the DOTC,” Narvasa said.
