All this talk about Conchita ordering the filing of graft charges against former Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT3) General Manager Al Vitangcol III and five incorporators of Philippine Trans Rail Management and Services Corporation (PH Trams) in connection with the MRT3 interim maintenance contract gives me a headache. You ask, 'Why'?. Well, it's because my nephew and niece recently visited Prague in the Czech Republic and showed me these - pictures of the Czech made carriages which are part...
