MANILA, Philippines — A shortlist of candidates for Metro Rail Transit-3 (MRT-3) general manager (GM) has already been submitted to the Palace, an official disclosed on Tuesday.
This comes amid reports of MRT-3 GM Oscar Bongon being relieved from his post.
“Ang sabi po sa atin ay nakapagsubmit na po [ng shortlist] sa PMS (Presidential Management Staff) at hinihintay na lang kung sino ang maaaring maging GM sa MRT-3,” said Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro in a press conference.
(We were told that the shortlist has already been submitted to the PMS and they are just waiting to see who might become the GM of MRT-3.)
“Wala po akong personal knowledge pero naisubmit na po ito,” she added.
