MRT 3 probes vandalism of train car

MANILA, Philippines — The management of Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT 3) is investigating the recent defacement of one of its train cars on Wednesday night.

In a photo shared by Assistant Transportation Secretary Goddes Hope Libiran, a graffiti of the slang word “cranks” was painted in bold letters on one of the train cars of the government-owned rail line.

She added that the MRT 3 management is reviewing all closed-circuit television cameras to identify the culprit, while the train was removed for cleaning and repainting.
