Senator Grace Poe wants accountability over the procurement of three train sets from China which have been found to be incompatible with the existing tracks of the Philippine National Railways (PNR).

During the Senate Committee on Finance’s hearing on the Department of Transportation's proposed P167.12-billion 2023 budget, Poe said the PNR had procured train sets with standard gauge even though the current tracks were of narrow gauge.

Jeremy Regino, the general manager of the PNR, said he did not have a hand in the transaction and that the PNR board decided on the said procurement.Regino said the government at that time was looking forward to a loan agreement with China. He said the PNR at that time had a project relocation program wherein there will be two tracks—one narrow and the other standard—so it could be dual-fit.

Kasuhan ng plunder and economic sabotage yang mga hinayupak na pakana nyan. Mam Sen SenGracePOE dapat po paki publish mga pangalan ng lahat ng miyembro ng PNR Board na nag nego at approve nyan. Ipa-lifestyle check din sila at ip-audit lahat ng transaction nila.

Another questionable government project.😮‍💨 Maybe it's safe to say that the Philippines is poor because of constant corruption not because of anything else.

In the last regime, Poe was spearheading the hearings regarding the Dalian trains purchased during the Aquino for 'incompatibility'. Funny how Poe is now heading a hearing on trains purchased by the Duterte regime due to them being incompatible with current PNR tracks.

Corruption again never stops
