Bad weather stalls MRT

The heavy rains and strong winds not only brought down several trees in Quezon City, but also toppled a billboard, delaying operations of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT).

The billboard fell from a building in Cubao at around 1:30 p.m. Strong winds then carried the billboard toward the MRT tracks near Aurora Boulevard.

Commuters were stranded for about an hour. Operations resumed after the tracks were cleared of debris.

No one was reported hurt in the incident. Katherine Adraneda
