Abaya, ex-DOTC officials face graft rap over MRT-3 maintenance contract
The Ombudsman's Special Panel of Investigators said in October 2014 and January 2015, the Transportation Department conducted two biddings for the train system's three-year maintenance service contract. It said there was failure of bidding in both events as nobody submitted bids.
