Accident-free City

      Accident-free city, maybe this is what the mayor of the city have in mind when he strictly implemented the speed limit. Within the city proper it is now only 30kph, yes as slow as 30kph wherein like the speed of vehicles strolling in the tourists spots. Though it is a bit slow but I like it for it is a prevention measure from accidents. With this implementation measure, the accident rate in the city lowered. This only proves that this new city ordinance brings out good results. 

     Accident happens in a split of a second and this inevitable event brought out damages to properties, personal injuries and cost the lives of men. Philippines belong to the third world country and health care services is not always accessible during accidents when it is needed most. Injury lawyers like Hawaii Injury Lawyer is not also common here. I think it is only right that prevention to accidents like speed limit should be implemented because if accidents happen it is already too late.

God Bless Our Trip

      A sad news came up this afternoon. A passenger van hit a passenger jeepney resulting to the death of a lot of passengers. It happened at our neighboring town at our province. The accident was fatal for what was left to the van was the flooring part only. It was cut horizontally in the middle by the accident. Mostly of the passengers were nursing students. I am sadden by the news and it is alarming for I always travel going home riding passenger vans. Hope this would remind drivers to be very careful and watch out their speed in driving. It is always my prayer for passengers out there that may God bless our trip.  

Jeepney Driver in Dilemma

     It was an unfortunate accident and if only time could be turn back, maybe this jeepney driver would do the safest action he must do to avoid the accident. It was late in the evening and we are still in Camp Mariano where the 3rd LA Regional Conference had just finish when a loud noise woke us up. I was woken up not by the noise but by the grumbling of people outside our tent. An unfortunate accident happened. Luckily no one was injured but some parts of vehicles had been damaged. It was a sloped area and the jeepney descended when the engine was still off. The driver could not control it anymore that it bump to a van and a toyota hilux. The jeepney was rented as well as the van. The toyota hilux was a company car and it was not a company business transaction that the driver was in great dilemma as well. They are hesitant to report it because the driver of the toyota hilux might loss his job if they do so. If they will not report the accident the insurance company will not shoulder the expenses. Aside from the toyota hilux, the van also need major repairs because the sliding door could not be opened anymore. I pity the jeepney driver for being in this situation. He was already teary-eyed when he was telling the whole story. I don't know how they will resolved this.
