Jacqueline Gorospe, corporate communications head of the Light Rail Manila Corporation, told radio reports that the female passenger got dizzy and fell on the rail track. The LRT Authority earlier advised its passengers of a stop of operations from Baclaran to Roosevelt following the incident. “We had to stop operations for a few minutes to secure the area and for safety. But we resumed normal operations in 24 mins,” Gorospe said in dzBB .
