Two individuals who were trying to bring home a two-meter asero (steel) inside PNR compound were arrested. If they were to sell it, they would gain P5000. One of the two is a minor. They defended themselves by saying that they did not cut it. It was already cut when they arrived and since they needed money, they stole it.
A lot of people are riding PNR trains in order to save money. If people like these two continue to steal things which belong to PNR, trains may not function anymore. If these happens, a lot of families' budgets will be ruined. I've heard from Bente Kuwatro Oras that PNR's yearly income is only around 22 million. PNR also said that the amount of steel that were stolen from them is around 23 million. This means there is no way they can buy again the stolen parts of the railway tracks.
I know life is very hard these days but doing bad things, just like what these two individuals did would only affect other poor people lives. Once PNR have been severely messed up, poor people would have to ride jeeps, buses and fxs which would cost more.
