ACTOR and chairman of the Optical Media Board (OMB) Edu Manzano was charged on Friday by the Makati police with slight physical injuries, theft, and coercion before the Makati prosecutor’s office.
The charges stemmed from the complaint filed by two truck drivers who said Manzano mauled them following a traffic altercation in Makati City on Tuesday night.

The charge sheet was signed by Chief Inspector Manuel Santos Jr., chief of Criminal Investigation Section of the Makati police.

The drivers – Rolando Gato and Rolando Mendipol -- said Manzano’s Toyota Revo, which was in front of their truck, bumped their vehicle on Makati Avenue when they stopped at a traffic light. They said Manzano drove in reverse, hitting the front of their truck. They said Manzano got out of his car and punched Gato and took his driver’s license. They also said Manzano tool Mendipol’s backpack and wallet and the truck’s front license plate and ignition key.

Manzano has denied the accusations in media interviews.

HHHmmm... it sounds fishy to me... i mean from my point of view as what ive seen on the tv thru TFC edu was driving an A/T so how did that happen that he bumped the truck unless its true that he actually drove in reverse intentionally just to hit the truck behind him? i don't see any point though??? and why would he do that?

May kaso pa din sya kasi wala syang right para kunin ang plate number at mga gamit nung truck driver at mga helpers niya

I agree wala siyang karapatan na kunin ang license at plate no. nung truck LTO lang dapat ang gumawa nun...

Manzano erred in taking the truck's LTO plate. Di sya authorized na magtanggal nun. As i've heard his interview in the news, sabi nya baka daw umalis yung truck at takasan sya kaya nya tinanggal. Tama ba yun?

[scarab]

...tapang din nitong si doods, 2 truck driver pa yun. pano kung yung tipong mga truck driver na siraulo na walang sinasantong artista.

[KCboy]

let's hear edu's side before we judge. ganyan naman sa media, kahit tama si edu, they will always show na yung celeb ang nang api at yung mga drivers ang inapi. eh, im sure a lot of people here knows how truck drivers, puj n bus drivers drive. mga ogags. so let's look at both sides before we judge.

Trucks and Bus drivers are morons!

For those of you related to these drivers, don't bother reading on because you'll just be offended. For the rest of you, you know what I'm talking about. Trucks/Bus drivers are infamous for their notoriously horrible driving, their putrefied stench of b.o.

Now by horrible driving, I don't mean they drive like a little old lady behind a big ass truck and I don't mean they drive like adolescents behind the wheel for the first time in their lives. I mean they routinely take up two lanes to drive in, don't bother signalling, cut and stop in front of you with no regard for your car or theirs and swerve across multiple lanes to turn, pick up a fare, or drop off a fare. They like to rush like terrorists car bomb drivers at pedestrians, bike messengers, each other and us regular drivers.
Psycho drivers... Just what we need.


Peace

onat_1,

Usually, when a vehicle is being bullet-proofed they also modify the engine to compensate for the additional weight.

why would one drive in reverse on a stop light condition? unless, nde siya nakapagbigay ng allowance sa harapan, and he's trying to change lanes. but
who in his right mind would drive in reverse kung kita sa rear view mirror mo na
truck pala nasa likod.

Heard on the radio (DZMM) nun ininterview si doods ang tinanong noya agad..."eh sino yun mga sakay na mga babae sa truck? alam ba ng may ari ng truck na nagsasakay ng babae yun driver niya?"

Hellur!!!...anong paikialam mo kung sino o anong sakay ng truck, kahit isang libong babae o bakla eh wala siyang pakialam.

dagdag pa niya eh..."bakit ko hahamunin sila eh tatlo sila ako isa lang baka mabugbug ako..."

Hellur again!!! wala kabang "kargada". I'm sure sa bigat ng hawak mong agency eh may karga ka.

" naka automatic Transmission ako..."

Hellur again... diba aatras din ang AT kung naka N ka tapos naka release and handbrake?
