MAy na experienced kame with that bus co. 5 yrs ago nag bakasyon ako sa Zambales tapos nakita namin mismo may batang nagba bike mga 8yrs old nasage tapos mga 20mts layo nung bus umatras akala namin tutulungan pero sobra di ko nasikmura na atrasan nya yung bata sobrang sigaw kame at nung alam na naming na atrasan na di na ako nakalapit sa nangyari,sabi ng relatives ko ganun daw sila para di malaki gastos dahil death insurance daw.pero di ko talaga malimutan yun. di man lang bumaba driver tapos umarangkada..nabalitaan ko ang reason nung driver babalikan nya kaso di nya "daw" alam na na atrasan nya..kaya din daw sya bumaba at humarurot dahil natakot sya kasi dumami daw yung tong bayan baka daw sya mabugbog..dame na daw ganyang nangyari involving that bus co.parang ako pa na trauma sa nangyari
ok sila, their drivers are also instructed to give cyclists a wide berth (siklista kasi may ari)
.. may case din na ganyan nangyari sa mismong kaibigan ko..... imagine bumaba siya ng patalon sa jeep malapit sa sanmiguel sa may BBB sa marulas... tapos nahagip siya ng bus (no need to name the truck...) biruin mo nahatid pa siya ng mga passerby sa hospital MCU sa monumento.... naibigay pa ang name at address ng parents niya..... tapos pagdating ng magulang... tsk...tsk... tigbak na iyung friend ko..... sayang.
oo nga behave nga mga driver nila di tulad ng metro manila bus basta basta na lang papaling yung unahan pag nag uunahan sa pasehero.haaayyy
nakasakay ako sa victory nung andyan pa ako sa pinas.papunta akong olongapo kasi mardi gras dun.kahit dun na sa zigzag na pataas malapit sa gapo eh naovertake ang bus.at nung palusong na kami eh naovertake pa din.buti na lang hindi kami naaksidente.
:morgensmile:
its a well known practice although not publicly admitted by bus companies, especially biyaheng Bicol. mas mahal kung bubuhayin ang biktima, hospitalization and such. sad but totoong yan ang rason nila.
havent been to a Victory bus, pero they always look cleanPhiltranco kse ang byahe ko

this topic always comes up every so often...if this is true, then that bus driver is committing murder or attempted murder when he backs the bus over the victim. and if the bus company is sanctioning this and makes it a policy (whether official or "unofficial") then the company and its officers are also guilty of the same crime (or is it "conspiracy to commit"?)
eto ang loophole/defense ng driver kapatid:
driver: I backed up to see what I hit (pero the real intention is to run the victim over) then na-atrasan ko yung tao by 'accident'
driver flee the scene to avoid 'kuyog ng baryo.'
its hard to prove until the driver admits he/she intentionally run the victim to ensure death.
then, company asks the driver "magtago ka muna habang ina-ayos ang kaso. kapag settled na ang kaso, balik ka na lang"
hindi naman agad agad maniniwala ang husgado dahil nakita natin sa tsikot.com or sinabi ng kapit-bahay natin ang modus operandi na to.
hence, libre na ang driver.
trust me, it's true.
i agree that this would be difficult to prove in court. but it's still murder
dapat may mag-expose sa mga bus lines...basa ng emails or documents (maybe someone is stupid enough to write this kind of stuff down)....o kaya kumuha sila ng undercover agent:bond:
Ang kultutra kasi ng pinoy, "walang paki" similar to NIMBY. Para kasi sa iba, malaking abala yung tetestigo ka pa, eh hindi naman sila directly affected, tapos sa yo pang gastos (pamasahe at oras). Also, baka balikan ka pa ng akusado, madamay pa pamilya mo.
So, rather than get involved, "wa paki" na lang.
Sad but true.
at the time of the accident, hindi pa alam ni ianne ang modus operandi. ianne was informed by his/her relative of the 'ALLEGED' modus operandi after the accident. Im assuming, he/she was told when ianne got home. notice the word "DAW" was extensively used by ianne.
post #51 and #52 should explain it
it's a case of he said she said.
a ok.no further comment.
may you live in peace bro.just hoping di mangyari sa mga kamag anak nyo ang nangyari at sakit na naramdaman ng magulang ng bata.nakita namin mismo may batang nagba bike mga 8yrs old nasage tapos mga 20mts layo nung bus umatras akala namin tutulungan pero sobra di ko nasikmura na atrasan nya yung bata sobrang sigaw kame at nung alam na naming na atrasan na di na ako nakalapit sa nangyari
sana sinuntok mo nalang yong driver pagkatapos sagasaan yong bata para matauhan he he he he.![]()
Sorry kung OT.
When I was in highschool, I actually witnessed a bus running over a drunk who crossed a street. The horror of the incident was that the bus was running slow, just about 20 mph! I was in a jeepney going the other direction. The man got run over by the front left wheel and it was just about 5 meters away from me.
I even saw the face of the driver. I know he was aware that his wheel was going over the chest of the man and he was like cringing! The bus was not airconditioned and he has his window opened. It traumatized me for days as I heard the ribs of the man cracking!
The bus just continued running and the left double wheels at the back ran over the body too! I remember the legs and arms of the guy shaking involuntarily but I was sure he was dead! It happened infront of a beerhouse and there were a lot of witnesses and the police station was just about half a kilometer away. The jeepney I was riding on never stop and there were about 6 of us riding and all of us saw the incident. I later learned that the driver turned himself in at the police station.
That incident gave credence to me what everybody was talking about that the bus drivers of that company make sure that their victims die in the accident! The problem is how do you prove that in court?![]()

Tell me, how come these stories of bus drivers running over people to avoid the more expensive hospitalization bills be dubbed good to be in the thumbs up section?
