Proving that practicality can trump luxury amid Metro Manila’s rush-hour chaos, celebrity dermatologist Dr. Vicki Belo made headlines after riding the MRT for the first time — all to make it on time for Morissette Amon’s concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

In an Instagram post, Belo shared photos of her unexpected commute, saying she decided to take the train to beat the notorious EDSA traffic. “Mas mabilis nga ang MRT compared to a Ferrari in Metro Manila!” she quipped, adding that she arrived just in time to see Morissette “shine.”

Fans praised her humility and humor, noting that even one of the country’s most glamorous figures isn’t above hopping on public transport when it matters most.

Sometimes, it takes a quick MRT ride — not a Ferrari — to remind everyone that when it comes to passion and punctuality, even the rich and famous are just like us.
