This is the second time the MRT-3 experienced technical problem on the same day since it earlier unloaded passengers at Ortigas Station Southbound at 8:32 a.m.

The train received a Category 3 status, meaning it was removed without a replacement.

There are 16 trains running as of 5 p.m., it said in a separate tweet. — Marlly Rome Bondoc/MDM, GMA News
