DOTr flexes its accomplishments big time, but how did netizens react?

Since the agency covers the land, sea, and air sectors, the list it posted was quite long, although it gave specific “before and now” comparisons for the benefit of the reader. The post was supposedly meant to “refresh your memory on what the Department of Transportation (DOTr), under the leadership Secretary Arthur Tugade faced when we came in five years ago, and what we have done so far to address such difficult challenges”. But what did netizens think of the not-so-subtle flex? Reactions have been mostly positive so far, with the upload garnering over 5,200 likes and 2,500 hearts as of this posting. “A very sad news for the opposition (all anti-Du30) who doesn’t appreciate tangible results. Kudos to the effective governance & leadership of PRRD. Indeed DOTR & other govt agencies works efficiently bcoz of the Du30 effect,” wrote commenter Edward Arias.
