The resolution directs the proper Senate committee to investigate a Commission on Audit report stating that two demonstration models for alternative mass transit systems in Metro Manila worth a total of 1,128 million pesos remained non-operational after completion in 2014. The report found that one system located at the University of the Philippines and another at the Department of Science and Technology compound were stalled by technical issues and never became operational despite being completed. The Commission on Audit criticized the project management for proceeding with the second system without addressing issues with the first.

The Lagos Bus Rapid Transit: Review of Users’ PerceptionAJHSSR Journal
The Lagos BRT Lite system which was implemented in 2008 has been extended and upgraded
to BRT classic. It has successfully delivered high-quality services especially in the first two years of operation
with high ridership. To determine users’ preferences, a customer satisfaction survey was carried out. The study
aimed explicitly at investigating commuters’ preferences and perception of the BRT services. Consequently, the
study identified certain attributes comprising long waiting time, inadequate bus frequency, poor ticketing
systems amongst others requiring improvements. However, over 60% of the commuters still remain repeat
users, thereby signalling the role that the BRT operations is playing in the movement of people within the city.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

ON THE COMMISSION ON AUDIT REPORT THAT TWO DEMONSTRATION MODELS
FOR ALTERNATIVE MASS TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN METRO MANILA WORTH A
TOTAL OF 11128 MILLION REMAINED NON-OPERATIONAL
AFTER COMPLETION IN 2014
1 WHEREAS, the Constitution, Article 2, Section 5, provides: "The maintenance of peace
2 and order, the protection of life, liberty, and property, and the promotion of the general welfare
3 are essential for the enjoyment by all the people ofthe blessings of democracy";
4 WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 6428 mandates the Metals Industry Research and
5 Development Center (MIRDC), an attached agency of the Department of Science and
6 Technology (DOST), to provide both government and private sectors in the metals and
7 engineering industry with professional management and technical expertise on the training of
8 engineers and technicians; information exchange; trade accreditation services; quality control
9 and testing of metal products; research and development; and business economics advisory
10 services;
11 WHEREAS, the Commission on Audit (COA) said that the MIRDC in 2014 completed
12 the 11128.l44-miIlion construction of two Automated Guide-Way Transit (AGT) systems,
13 intended as demonstration models for alternative and efficient mass transport systems to ease
14 worsening traffic congestion in Metro Manila;
15 WHEREAS, state auditors however claimed that the AGT systems-one inside the
16 campus of the University of the Philippines (UP) in Quezon City and another near the DOST
17 compound in Bicutan, Taguig-remained non-operational by the end of 2014;
18 WHEREAS, the COA claimed that the AGT System-UP is stalled by technical issues
19 even after a maiden run in December 2012 and a test run in April 2013;
20 WHEREAS, the issues in AGT System-UP notwithstanding, the MIRDC allegedly
21 proceeded to implement the development of AGT System-Bicutan;
2. WHEREAS, state auditors claimed that public funds utilized for the AGT systems could
2 have been reduced had the technical issues affecting AGT System-UP been addressed prior to
3 the implementation of AGT System-Bicutan;
4 WHEREAS, the non-operation of AGT systems also allegedly delay plans of replicating
5 it in other urban areas ofthe country;
6 WHEREAS, the COA recommended that AGT System-UP be operated even for at least
7 six months, as part of the experimental stage and continuous test runs to finally determine all
8 possible flaws;
9 WHEREAS, it also urged the MIRDC and the DOST to focus on and perfect one
10 technology research and development project before embarking on larger experimental
11 development to avoid uneconomical use of public funds;
12 WHEREAS, commenting on the MIRDC's response that the two AGT systems employ
13 different technologies, the COA reiterated that if the projects are purely for research and
14 development, AGT System-Bicutan shonld not have been implemented without first finishing
15 necessary technical modifications for AGT System-UP;
16 WHEREAS, the non-operation of the completed AGT systems defeats the sense of
17 urgency that inspired the projects in the first place, and delays large-scale implementation of
18 potential solutions to traffic congestion in Metro Manila;
19 WHEREAS, Congress, through relevant legislation, must, on the one hand, fast-track
20 research and development on public transportation systems, and, on the other, ensure that public
21 funds for such endeavors are judiciously used;
22 WHEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE PHILIPPINE SENATE to direct
23 the proper Senate committee to conduct an inquiry, in aid of legislation, on the Commission on
24 Audit report that two demonshoation models for alternative mass transport systems in Metro
25 Manila worth a total ofl'll28 million remained non-operational after completion in20140
