Mandaluyong City Police is already in the custody of a Chinese man who was arrested after running naked on the MRT-3 tracks early Thursday morning.
The 10-second video shot by the commuter who identified himself as Panda Preecs Pogi trended online.
The naked Chinese man seemingly jogging on the northbound tracks of MRT-3 Boni Station to Shaw station around 5:37 a.m.
A station staff chased him.
According to the uploader, the oncoming train stopped before entering the station because of what happened. So it took another 20 minutes before the passengers boarded.
He first saw the man at the baggage inspection before descending the platform.
Preecs said there was tension between the Chinese and the MRT security guard when he opened the pink suitcase he was carrying.
“Hinatak na malakas ang maleta ng guard. Binuksan niya ang bag na isa at tinatapon, hinahagis niya ang laman noon,” he said.
The Chinese did not say a word, but, according to Preecs, the man threw the contents of another bag he was carrying.

Some of the contents of the bag were katol, mug, and lotion.
“Nagulat kaming lahat na may tumatakbong nakahubad. Tapos buti na lang na huminto sa bungad ang train kasi kung hindi, maaabutan siya,” he added.
According to a statement by MRT-3 officer-in-charge general manager Eymard Eje, the Chinese suddenly took off his clothes, ran down the platform, and jumped on the rails.
The man was caught by 4 station security personnel 5 minutes later. He was released with his back on the stretcher.
The 27-year-old Chinese was found homeless. He also could not understand English.
The foreigner is set to be charged with alarm and scandal and indecent acts or exposure for allegedly harassing the public.
In May, the 2 men arrested at the MRT-3 Quezon Avenue Station were also charged after getting off the tracks and taking a selfie.
