News bites:
Transportation (DOTr) had to cut the
number of trips in the rail line to repair the train cars.
In 2020, the government placed Metro
Manila under lockdown for an extended period of time to contain the spread of
the virus. As such, mass transport units like the MRT-3 had to operate on
limited capacity in compliance with public health protocols. In exchange, MRTC
is paid monthly fees through fares collected from passengers, but in some years
ticket revenues fell short and the government footed the bill. Once the
contract expires in 2025, the DOTr will be left to do everything on its own in
sustaining MRT-3 operations. It will lead to fare increase when they transfer
to private sector.
People magazine has crowned actor Chris Evans this year’s Sexiest Man Alive.
The unveiling was made on “The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert,” with help from John Oliver and Dwayne Johnson.
In a bit that aired on the show, Oliver sat in
the show’s audience as Colbert announced the winner from two finalists – Oliver
and Evans, who Colbert called an “incandescent supernova of hotness.”
When Evans’ name was announced, a miffed
Oliver prompted the audience to boo and stormed out angrily, demanding a
“recount” as he exited. The former “Captain America” star, who couldn’t appear
on the show, was instead congratulated by Dwayne The rock Johnson on the set of
their movie, “Red One.” Johnson is the 2016 sexiest man.
