Behold! The MRT speaks.

Commuting in Metro Manila is an everyday struggle. In fact, struggle is an understatement. Every day we wake up full of enthusiasm and excitement for the new day ahead.
That is, until we pass along EDSA. The energy from the tapsilog you ate for breakfast slowly winds down the drain.
It doesn’t stop there: the long and lasting (love?) line forming in front of the MRT station will lick off whatever’s left of your strength, leaving you withered and all dried up. And it’s just 8 in the morning.
Yesterday afternoon, more than 30 passengers were hurt when an MRT coach was derailed, causing it to slam against the metal stopper at the Taft Avenue station.
The MRT serves more than 500,000 people everyday, and the accident is only one of the countless WTF-is-going-on-here-DOTC?! rants from commuters.
Despite the worrisome state of trains and public transportation in general, @akosiMRT, which was born out of yesterday’s mishap, could be the voice of those 500,000 MRT riders. It injects humor to commuters’ woes, somehow lightening their mood while being crushed inside an MRT coach.
Sinabi nang may mga kailangang tugunan bago mahuli ang lahat. At nahuli na nga ang lahat. #MRT #MRTDerailed #WillYouRideMRTAgain

Kailangan ko nang isara ang pinto pero pilit mo pa ring binubuksan. Kaya hindi tayo maka-move on. #MRT — MRT3 (@akosiMRT)

Apparently, the MRT 3 was also caught up with the bonfire craze that the UP Fighting Maroons started last weekend.
Kapag maayos na ako, may bonfire din ba? #MRT #MRTDerailed #WillYouRideMRTAgain — MRT3 (@akosiMRT) August 13, 2014
The UP Bonfire should reply ASAP.
To date, the account only has 37 followers. But really, everyone should be following it.
Si MMDA chair Francis Tolentino mismo ang humuli sa akin. Wala daw akong bus franchise, kolorum pala pa-MOA #MRT. pic.twitter.com/nNnUDheEcA”

“Sira na nga MRT, tapos magtataas pa ng pamasahe” Gusto ko lumuha #MRT #MRTDerailed #WillYouRideMRTAgain — MRT3 (@akosiMRT) August 13, 2014
In the end, the MRT 3 account makes sense of everything that is happening to its passengers. Kaya pala.
The one you hurt is the one you love. Mahal ko kayo, MRT passengers.
