00:00Congratulations to Kid Latt for hitting the catenary wire of LRT 2 in Gilmore Station.
00:04We will now listen to Atty. Hernando Cabrera, Administrator of Light Rail Transit Authority.
00:09Good morning Atty. Cabrera.
00:11Susan, good morning. Good morning to our listeners, to our viewers.
00:15Atty. how many times did Kid Latt hit the catenary wire of LRT 2 in Gilmore?
00:20Was it just there? Or was there another station?
00:24It was just there last night, Susan, in Gilmore.
00:29Around 9.44 last night.
00:31That's strong.
00:32How was the repair, Atty.?
00:36Did you see that the hit of Kid Latt was severe?
00:40Well, the broken wire was around 70 meters.
00:45That's why it took us a long time to repair.
00:47Plus, when it started, there were still Kid Latts.
00:50That's why our workers couldn't work properly.
00:54Of course, we need to ensure their safety.
00:58And then later, after the repair, around 3.30,
01:04but it was late because as early as 2.30,
01:08we started what we call preparatory activities.
01:13So we couldn't do it on time because the repairs were ongoing.
01:18That's why earlier, we expected that the operations would be late
01:23because the preparatory activities were ongoing.
01:27That's why we were late.
01:28But at least we found a way to do it on time.
01:32So we were able to open at 5 p.m.
01:34Yes.
01:35Atty., last week, there were two incidents in LRT 2
01:38due to power supply and technical problems in the train.
01:41Will there be an overhaul or maintenance in the LRT 2 line?
01:46Nothing like that, Susan.
01:48But the involved train,
01:51that's what's in the workshop right now and we're discussing it.
01:56The other one,
01:59the transformer in the recto,
02:04that's what we're waiting for to finish the full report
02:09so we can trace the cause of the problem.
02:12Atty. Cabrera, we'll keep you updated on the repairs.
02:16Thank you very much.
02:17Thank you very much.
02:18LRTA Administrator Atty. Hernando Cabrera, good morning.
