Cesar Chavez, DOTr undersecretary for railways, said the right arm of Angeline Fernando, 24, of Pasay City, was reattached by surgeons of the Makati Medical Center. Fernando, 24, a software engineer of Makati-based information technology firm iScale Solutions, lost her right arm at the MRT-3 Ayala station in Makati City around 2:30 p.m. last Tuesday. Chavez said the train was already about to leave the Ayala station when the woman fell to the tracks. Chavez said the DOTr sees no urgent need to install safety barriers at the MRT stations that would prevent commuters from falling onto the tracks. If they are earnest and sincere in addressing these problems, then they should work faster on bettering our train system,” Poe said.
