It’s another
year and MRT Line 3 is facing numerous issues over and over again. With
propaganda strikes over the fare increase that happened as 2015 arrived, MRT
Line 3 continues to rattle everyone’s mind but this time it’s about the bidding
of the maintenance and operation of the train station.
If we will look
back last year, the bidding failed big time. We can even remember when Sumimoto
Corporation offered to provide the maintenance and operation services of the
train. But it is still a big puzzle as to why Department of Transport and
Communications Secretary Jun Abaya did not accept Sumimoto Corporation’s offer.
Looking back at
last year’s events, the bidding ended in an enormous failure as companies
failed to submit their offers. And now, as 2015 starts, Metro Rail Transit
(MRT) has opened its doors again for bidding. But just like last year and the
years before, it was yet another failure. But this time, there was no bidder. So what exactly is happening?
If I would be
asked about my opinion regarding this issue, I can definitely say that DOTC is
up to something. It’s either they want to delay the process or really prevent
the private sector for getting the contract. Another issue we can relate this
into is the time when Secretary Jun Abaya and his family and friends were
involved in the mystery of the maintenance and operations of the MRT. It was
found out that they were given the contract when clearly they were just a new
company (which is most likely created for the sake of project). In the end, the
MRT went on a disaster with numerous accidents happening within the last 2
years alone.
So the question
is this: Why is the bidding such a failure? Are we seeing another case of
mystery involving Abaya here? Or is it another issue connected to the buyout?
Questions arise
as the MRT continues to face its horrors created by Secretary Jun Abaya. But
one thing is clear in my opinion. Metro Rail Transit’s failure is because of
the failure of Jun Abaya as a Secretary of the DOTC. Without Abaya in the
picture, perhaps there is a better future for the Metro Rail Transit.
What do you
think?
