The MRT-3 staff also calls on Filipinos to continue caring for and defending the freedom that the heroes fought for.
“Ang Libreng Sakay ay simpleng paraan ng DOTr at MRT-3 upang gunitain ang Araw ng Kalayaan, na isang napakahalagang okasyon sa ating pagkabansa. Ito rin po ay isang paalala at panawagan sa ating mga kababayan na patuloy na pangalagaan at ipagtanggol ang ating kalayaan na pinag-alayan ng buhay ng ating mga bayani. Sa bahagi po ng MRT-3, patuloy na magsusumikap ang linya na magbigay ng maayos, ligtas, at maaasahang transportasyon sa ating mga pasahero,” Aquino stated.
