    buti na lang di ka nasaktan (physically). thanks for warning us. pareho tayo ng auto, i always wear seatbelt. di pala gagana airbag pag may collision on that speed.

    malamang nga bagong MO ng mga carnappers. you'll have nowhere to go kasi youre boxed in between two cars. magugulat ka na lang if the car in front of you suddenly slams on the brakes eh anluwag ng kalye in front! un nga lang sumalpok na ko sa auto nya kaya nawalan na ng interes sa auto ko. wasak na kasi. And he didnt care if wasak din rear end niya.

    Kabisado ko na ang part na to ng c5 mga sirs. i pass here everyday going home. nagkalat na din ngayon ang mg barriers ng MMDA. I passed by that road again this morning iba na naman ang position ng mga barriers.

    tnx bro. slight bruises and bugbog lang sa head and muscles dahil sa pagkauntog. nice corolla. same color. good thing you do that. that time kasi i wasnt wearing mine. i was confused nga why the airbags didnt deploy as they were intended to.

    Hindi at higher speed ang deployment, since you were moving and when the Civic braked, hindi siya complete stop so he was still moving and you slowed down but not enough. Basically it's just like you hit a car while you were going a bit faster so there's only around 30kph difference between the two of you I would guess. Airbags usually deploy around 60kph.

    In the crash tests we often see the deceleration is from around 60kph to zero, so the G-force acting on this is much higher than the one you had, which was probably, say, 80kph to 60kph, or even 50kph, so that's just a 30kph difference. The airbag sensors need to have a large enough gap between the velocity at the moment of impact and the final velocity at a certain time frame (usually just milliseconds). If the difference (or in that case, deceleration) is large enough then only then will the bags deploy.

    Just do the math regarding the deceleration and you'll see that your deceleration was not as hard so the airbags won't deploy, even if you're well within the range of speed (usually 25kph and above I think) at which they should.

    +1 on the thrown stones along C5.

    Ingat na lang po kayo sa bandang Kalayaan Ave. intersection at may ginagawa kasi dyan. Even at slower speeds (60-70 km/h) in daytime traffic, the three remaining lanes in that area can give you claustrophobia.

    It's not ideal of course, but methinks we'll have to live with the bottleneck for a few more months...

    Good think you're okay boss.

    Nako, buti hindi ka napahamak.

    Plano pa naman naming dumaan ng madaling araw sa C5 next week papuntang batangas. Mukhang EDSA nalang daan namin.

    Yep EDSA ka na lang bro. At least doon wala ka ring aalalahaning tumatawid sa gitna ng kalsada nang di gumagamit ng pedestrian overpass.

    ang panget lang sa edsa ang daming bus at lubak-lubak ang daan.. kahit naman sa edsa marami din naaksidente, sa panahon ngayon kahit saan ka siguro dumaan pag natiyempuhan ka, yari ka!! kaya dapat ingat na lang talaga..

    is that so, thanks for the info sir. i think the civic is still doing 30kph when i hit her rear.

    tnx sir. thats true. i also once experienced na meron malaking bato sa gitna. (i think came from the construction site) buti i saw it kagad para makaiwas. ingat na lang po tayo mga sirs sa lugar na yan lalo na sa gabi.

    tama po tayo jan boss. sa c5 hindi yata takot ang mga tao dun na masagasaan. nakikipagpatintero sa mga dumadaan.

    mag ingat na lang po tayong lahat. lagi lang tayong maging alert sa mga bad elements sa daan.

    Since most of the replies here came from habital C5 users I guess I should warn you na rin...

    At the Kalayaan Ave. intersection going southbound, try to avoid the leftmost lane and move to the middle. Once you cross Kalayaan, C5 crowds down to two lanes for a short distance because of the cranes and construction barriers, and it just so conveniently had to be the leftmost lane that had to go.

    Suki din kasi ako ng C5 eh...ingat mga bros

    Not to hijack this thread, pero ayoko na lang gumawa ng panibagong thread.

    This happened about a week ago pa, but would like to share it anyway.

    MANILA, Philippines - A former badminton sensation was killed when her car swerved into the opposite lane of the C-5 flyover before being rammed by a closed van in Pasig City yesterday.

    Karyn Cecilia Velez, 24, of Unit D 16, Casa Verde Townhomes Lanuza, Barangay Ugong suffered severe body injuries.

    She was rushed to the Medical City but was pronounced dead at about 2:25 a.m. by Maria Veronica Dating Ginoo, said Senior Superintendent Mario Rariza, Pasig City police chief.
    ABS-CBN News: Badminton star killed in C-5 mishap

    Sayang, another young and promising life snuffed in a vehicular accident. Given it happened around 12:10am, posibleng napa-idlip siya sumandali. That's why I always maintain that driving tired, drowsy or sleepy is as dangerous if not more so, than driving after a few drinks (not drunk/ not intoxicated).





    May she rest in peace!

    ^ sayang talaga iyan.

    she was already making waves in the american badminton scene (usa national team member na nga daw) at the time of her death. parang nabasa ko she's just on vacation here kasi she left the country in her sophomore year in ateneo to hone her craft further in malaysia so she can rededicate her passion in badminton
