How MindaVote Slams Sen. Grace Poe:
Sabi ni Grace traPoe, bagsak daw ang grado ng DOTr dahil may mga dapat pa daw ayusin sa MRT. Palibhasa medyo maliit ang utak kaya hanggang doon lang ang kaya nyang intindihin tungkol sa kabuuang trabaho ng departamento. Para naman malinawan si Ms. TraPOE, eto po ang listahan ng mga accomplishments ng Department of Transportation, sa pamumuno ni Sec. Art Tugade, so BUONG BANSA. Hindi lang sa MRT, kundi sa mga pantalan, airports, at iba’t ibang sector ng transportation dito sa Pilipinas.
