I'd like to convey my sincere and warmest gratitude to all the men and women behind the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3), Philippine National Railways (PNR), and Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) for extending duty this Holy Week.

Your unwavering hard work and dedication, especially during this Holy Week when most Filipinos typically take a break, are truly commendable. Instead of taking the time off, you have shown up in your full safety gear and diligently carried out necessary and critical works to ensure the efficiency, safety, and integrity of our country's main rail systems.

The efforts and sacrifices you make do not go unnoticed. Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista and Undersecretary for Railways Jeremy Regino also extend their utmost gratitude to your selfless service.

The comfort and safety experienced by our rail passengers stand as a testament to the immeasurable nature of the labour you provide and the work that you do.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all of you. May your passion and dedication to duty remain steadfast for all the Filipino passengers who rely on your service.
