MANILA, Philippines -- The Presidential Security Group (PSG) is set to file charges against the driver of a car who tried to race against the convoy of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Monday night, the head of the PSG said Tuesday.

Colonel Romeo Prestoza said they would file a case before the Judge Advocate General's Office against Archibald Yap Ang, the driver of the Honda Jazz (ZFS 734).

Arroyo's convoy was traveling around 8 p.m. Monday along EDSA towards Makati when Ang's vehicle raced the convoy. Prestoza said they were signaling Ang to stay away but he still overtook them.

Because of this, one of the PSG vehicles, a white Nissan Safari tilted on its side, hurting two presidential guards. They were immediately brought to the Bonifacio Hospital and then transferred to the PSG Hospital.

When Ang was finally stopped near the Victor Potenciano Hospital, he reasoned that he was in a hurry.

Puro ka kasi kayabangan!! buti nga sayo Honda Jazz driver. May ibang paraan naman para maunahan niya yan pero huwag ka makipag gitgitan sa convoy. Inutil!!!

IIRC, it is against the law to cut into the Presidential convoy. That was one stupid driver, pati PSG hindi sinasanto, eh balasubas ding magmaneho yung nga yun.

I also watched the report on QTV, and it seems naghabulan pa yung Patrol at Jazz, at parehong nagka-cut into each other's path. Aba, una pang tumagilid yung Patrol!

Serves them both right. About time a PSG member got his comeuppance, kahit may former PMA classmate akong taga PSG HHSB.
