Bagong Henerasyon Rep. Bernadette Herrera asked her colleagues in the House of Representatives to investigate the sudden collapse at a Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 7 construction site last April 13.
The lawmaker said in proposed House Resolution No. 2262 the incident “highlighted alarming safety lapses” in the project, which, once finished, would pass through northern Metro Manila up to Bulacan.
“This is not just a construction failure—it’s a serious breach of public trust.
When a massive concrete post collapses at a major public transport site, the lives of thousands of Filipinos are put in danger. We cannot allow this to go unexamined or unpunished,” Herrera said.
