“‘Yun pong libreng sakay diyan sa EDSA Carousel ay mayroong certain budget. Kung itutuloy po natin ‘yan hanggang December, we will need additional budget of around P1.4 billion which hindi ho available sa existing budget namin,” he said during the Laging Handa briefing. [If we need to continue this until December 31, we will ask for an additional budget from the DBM. So we will ask for help from the President to secure that additional budget for the DOTr.]
The secretary said he has observed a few issues which can easily be addressed such as the improvement of facilities, including installing bidets in comfort rooms and making the customer assistance group more accessible to all commuters.
