This is the bizarre moment train passengers in the Philippines had to use their umbrellas inside the carriage - when rain started pouring in.<br /><br />Dozens of people were inside the carriage on the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) in Mandaluyong City on Tuesday afternoon (August 7).<br /><br />The area had just been lashed with monsoon rains but showers had passed when water started pouring into the train. <br /><br />Several people had to open their umbrellas to stop them from getting wet after the incident at around 4.30pm.<br /><br />Onlooker Giselle Tolosa said: ''It was raining hard outside when I took the train. But it was no longer raining outside when the water started dripping from the train ceiling. It felt like we were on an amusement park ride.''<br /><br />Owners of the MRT train blamed faulty air conditioning units for the leak.<br /><br />Operators said in a statement that its trains' 10-year-old air-conditioners were supposed to be replaced a couple of years ago before its contract with the previous maintenance provider was terminated. <br /><br />MRT management said they have already procured brand new air-conditioning units that are scheduled to arrive shortly.
