Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — The MRT is issuing incident reports instead of “excuse letters” for passengers to give to their teachers or employers in case a glitch in the train system causes them to be late for school or work.
The MRT clarified that it can issue “incident reports,” which passengers may then use any way they want.
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the MRT-3 office stressed this point in a statement issued on Tuesday (June 23) in response to reports that circulated online and through newspapers.
In their Tuesday statement the DOTC and MRT-3 Office said they “deny reports that ‘excuse letters’ may be issued to passengers affected by train glitches. At most, a copy of relevant incident reports may be released to any requesting member of the general public for whatever useful purposes this may serve, in line with the policy of transparency.”
