Palace assures government doing everything to
address commuter's transportation woes
Malacanang said on Sunday that the government is
doing everything in its power to address the Filipino commuter’s everyday
worries such as longer than usual travel times and the availability of
transportation such as trains for the Metro Rail Transit System (MRT).
In a press briefing aired over government
station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan, Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said
the government is addressing these problems by introducing various
infrastructure programs.
“Lahat naman ng hakbang ay ginagawa ng pamahalaan
sa pangunguna ng Department of Transportation and Communication para matugunan
ang patuloy na pangangailangan for mass transit o public transportation,”
Coloma said.
“Kaya lang, ang mga proyektong yan ay kailangan
din ng panahon para ganap na maipatupad kaya kailangan ng konting pagunawa ng
ating mamamayan na ang mga proyektong yan ay di magaganap sa isang kisap-mata,”
he added
He however, appealed to Filipino commuters for
patience as these projects take time to achieve.
“Samantala, ginagawa ng ating pamahalaan upang
maibsan ang pagsisikip ng trapik at yung mabagal na commute travel ng ating
mamamayan sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang proyektong pang imprastraktura,” Coloma
said. PND (rck)
