Wazzup Pilipinas!Martin Nievera serenades the crowd with his timeless love classics supported by champions from reality talent competitions The Voice of the Philippines and X-Factor Philippines two days before Valentine's Day with a mini-concert dubbed as "A Garden Filled with Love" held at the Ayala Triangle Gardens located in Makati City.

X-Factor Philippines winners KZ Tandingan and Allen Sta. Maria with The Voice of the Philippines runners up Klarisse De Guzman and Morissette Amon helped the Concert King set the mood for love this season of the hearts at a romantic evening filled with nostalgic hit songs made popular by the one and only Martin Nievera.
I will never grow old and tired of Martin Nievera and his serenade-like songs... I used to give his original albums to the woman I was courting because his songs were truly romantic and his voice...oh so dreamy!!! That's probably one of the best reasons why I got my much-awaited "YES!", had my dream wedding, blessed with wonderful kids, and still all strongly in love with each other even after several years already.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is ready to defend public interest and argue its case on the need to add forty-eight (48) new Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) to the Metro Rail Transit III (MRT-3) system at 2:00pm today, before the Regional Trial Court of Makati.

Acting on a petition filed by Metro Rail Transit Holdings II, Inc., the court issued a 20-day Temporary Order of Protection on 30 January 2014, preventing the transport agency from going ahead with the Project.

While having no contractual relationship, the DOTC says that MRT Holdings II should be held accountable for Metro Rail Transit Corporation’s (MRTC) failure to add much-needed train coaches to the rail line, after it claimed to own 100% of MRTC.

“Passenger safety and convenience demand that the project proceed immediately. MRTC has received over P 35.2 Billion in equity rental payments since 2000. Yet it has added zero LRVs, knowing full well that MRT-3 has been operating beyond capacity for years. MRT Holdings II must answer the obvious question: why hasn’t it added LRVs to MRT-3 all this time?” said DOTC Spokesperson Michael Arthur Sagcal.
