MANILA, Philippines—The Metro Rail Transit (MRT) will no longer resume its train operations Saturday.

Metro Rail Transit (MRT) spokesman Hernando Cabrera said this was due to the ongoing repair of the communications system of the MRT.

“MRT-3 will no longer resume operations today. Communications still down, repairs still ongoing,” Cabrera said in an advisory.

He said he would advise the public on Saturday night for further advisories as to when the train would resume operations.

On Saturday afternoon, MRT-3 was forced to suspend its operations due to a communications breakdown.
