Koby Regalado, a student who witnessed the Tanay incident, said the bus slid down a downward slope and rammed head on to a military vehicle on exhibit where he and other students were taking pictures.

He said some 20 students were already on board the bus when it slid down towards the exhibit.

“Narinig po namin na may umaandar, pero sobrang bilis po. Paglingon ko, nakita ko na lang po si Pamela na naipit sa gitna nung bus at nung isa pong sasakyan ng sundalo,” Regalado said in a separate phone interview.

He added that he saw the bus driver chasing the vehicle to try to stop it from going down the slope, but the incident happened in a matter of seconds.

At the end of the day, we are leaving our sons and daughters to the limited hands of a teachers and tour guide and bus drivers sa field trip.

Ang kwento, its an inclined road, iniwan ng driver na bukas ang makina para lagyan ng tubig ang radiator, nung biglang umabante ang bus at tinumbok ang mga studyante, although may kalso eh di kinaya ng kalso pigilan ang bus.

This incident is screaming of stupidity at kapabayaan ng driver. Unang una, sa driving school (which im sure di dinaanan ng bus driver) itinuturo na itutok mo ang gulong mo sa sidewalk kung inclined ang parking. 2nd handbrake. At walang kwenta kalso kung bus dala mo at pasulong ang kalye.

I saw the news earlier today. A truly senseless death of a promising child.

[Retz]

hindi nakayanan ng handbrake ang steep nicline.

[shadow]

still an accident at the end of the day...

Holy Sh1t!!!!

I guess we need to teach our children to be more mindful of their surroundings as well, especially when out of the classroom. Not to say that the bus driver was not without fault, of course. Ano yung pinangkalso niya, kung ano lang bato?

Either bumigay ang hand brake or naka-primera lang tapos may gumalaw ng kambyo (pwede ba lumipat to neutral ang truck tranny without stepping on the clutch?).

RIP

[d'flash]

ganun daw ba kabilis ang pag atras ng bus from inclined road? at di nakaiwas ang kawawang estudyante? napaka reckless ng driver niyan, or failure ba ng bus?

The bus driver stepped out of the bus running on neutral with aircon on. Sabi daw kumuha ng tubig para sa radiator. Nakita ng mga studyante na parating na ung bus, pero di pinansin. Kala nila nadun pa ung driver. Iniwan ng guro at matatanda mag-isa ung mga studyante kumain daw ng lunch...

Actually di raw nakita ng student na nasagasaan, she is busy takung picture of a military vehicle nang tumbukin sya sa likod at naipit between ng military vehicle and bus.

Yung ibang nakakita eh nakaiwas, yung Pamela naman na nasa ospital ngayon eh nakita nya pero inabutan pa rin.

very sad wala man lang sumigaw sa kanila para bigyan ng warning ang bata?? yung mga naka sakay sa bus puro bata lang ba?

[ans_lim168]

Sad news indeed. Dapat managot ang driver, the bus company, the school is not excused from liability either.

Bus brakes are operated by air, when the handbrake is applied, in an air brake system (truck), a bypass valve sends air pressure to ALL brake wheels. This is also being supported by a mechnical system that locks the brake pad/shoes in place should the system run out of air. In US built trucks, this is the norm. Pag naka lock ang air brakes, hindi talaga gagalaw ang truck, no matter how steep the incline is.

IMHO, this was negligence on part of the driver. Or maybe the bus was not maintained properly. Sad.

[yebo]

baliktad yata?

air brakes are spring loaded. air pressure is supplied to release, and inversely air pressure is released (the hiss sound when the brakes are applied) to apply the brakes. fail safe kasi ang design nyan. loss of air pressure will not lead to loss of brakes as the brakes are spring loaded. loss of air will lead to inability to release the brakes. well, at least that is how it works on the systems that i worked on.

meron daw nagwarning, actually maraming bata on the way of the bus, nakaligtas yung ilan, 2 inabutan, isa nasa ospital, isa DOA sa ospital, Rio Bianca Ramirez, 14 years old high school.

damn I hate hearing this kind of news

[Horsepower]

Something is off with this news. I suspect that, probably, one or some of the kids toyed with the controls of the bus.

[renzo_d10]

parang ang corny pag walang field trip e. bonding na rin ng classmates yun. lagi inaabangan every year. dapat lang talaga na safe sila. sa field trip namin dati nung HS, 2 teacher plus 1 admin per section. hindi pwedeng isang teacher lang

Oo nga. Huwag naman ipagbawal ang field trip. Isa yan sa highlights ng SY. Pangit naman kung parati sa classroom anak mo, di makakabond kasama kaklase. Hehe.

Pero dapat talaga thorough inspection of the vehicle to be used, plus, kailangan may ambulansya parati in case...

pero sa ratio pa lang ng teacher to student kakabahan ka na sa safety ng anak mo, how can 2 to 3 teacher take charge of a bus full of naughty rowdy students.

[champoy]

Ok ang field trip kung ang pupuntahan farming site or nature related, museum, historical place, companies

Wag naman yung noontime show kasi gaguhanh na yun. Kasi kung ang dahilan eh para mamulat mga estudyante sa labas ng eskwelahan eh sa Classmates na lang magfield trip. Doon talaga mamumulat ka at baka may classmate ka talaga doon nagtatrabaho.

Sabi ng friend ko na tour guide kakilala nya yung owner ng bus. Sobrang luma na daw talaga mga bus na gamit. Di muna inisip yung safety bago kikitain na pera. Eto blog post nya tunkol sa incident:
