Former National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos lamented that good projects of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) often “simply wither away” after there was a change in leadership.

“A while ago, my team was involved with MMDA for 6 years… We designed the BRT EDSA and BRT C5, which later gathered dust somewhere because the national leadership had other plans… We also improved the capabilities of the MMDA Institute of Traffic Management,” Carlos said in a social media post.
Carlos continued: “Unfortunately, when there was a change of leadership at MMDA, all the previous seeds that we had planted and that had grown robust, were simply WASTED! That is the fate of many similar efforts elsewhere…”
Carlos is the chief policy adviser on security and defense to MP Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
