Curiously is Dr Francisco Sarabia connected to the optical shop chain with the same name?

nagbaba daw yung commuter bus sa labas ng loading and unloading bay area na nagkataon nasa likod yung benz.. so ginawa ng benz change lane to left.. parating yung gagong 2 bus na nakakarera... timaan yung benz..yun ang kwento ng mga witness..

[alwayz_yummy]

one of the reasons why takot ako sa edsa madaling araw, at pag yung kia dala ko, di agad kasi makaalis,e...

hirap kasi sa mga city bus drivers, natuto lang magdrive, nagkalisensya na. walang mga alam sa traffic rules kung other than maging gupang sa pasahero!

thats why the yellow lane never really implemented. kasi takot ang autoridad i implement.. ngayon may MRT na.. dont understand the concept na bakit di kaya nila mag-stay sa yellow lane. maswerte nga pilipinas e 2-lane ang yellow sa iba 1 lang lang.

condolence nalang sa family ng namatayan. and hope makonsesya yung driver.
