It should be noted that Dhoby Ghaut train station is one of the busiest MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) stations in Singapore, not in the Philippines as the article assumes.

Ah, you are right Gautami! I must have confused it by where the ad agency was from. I'll ask the editors to correct it. Thanks for catching it.
