Si Kap, hardcore chinese yan. Ma-da-mi Ne-go-syo! 😉 He’s living on the principle of tubong lugaw. Small earnings from multiple businesses. When you add it up, pwede na rin pang-jollibee! Hay! ;P
He has a side business of meatshop, paintshop, a bulilit gasoline station & a couple of jeepning pa-boundary inside the village (for residents & visitors). Mahilig sya sa malilit.. ako lang ang malaki sa buhay nya! 😛
Last wednesday, one of his jeepney drivers called saying the vehicle he was driving was hit by a car as his passengers were alighting. Most of them were hurt and needed to be rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, both of us were out so we couldn’t assist right there & then.

| This was the best photo we could come up with. The Honda Accord hit the PUJ while it was on a full stop at the shoulder of the road in front of the intersection as passengers were alighting.It must have been running at a high speed, more than the allowed 40/kph on minor roads & 60/kph on major roads to make the PUJ spin at a 90 degree angle as the Accord hit the side of the PUJ’s tail-end, making it jump & land on the accord. The vehicle hit a 70-year old lady’s leg which caused some toes to be amputated & undergo at least 5 surgeries as of this writing. The lady driver who was driving without a license, or even the owner of the vehicle, didn’t even bother to go to the hospital or the precinct. No inquiries were made at any point & no assistance was offered by said lady driver, or owner of the vehicle. 5 passengers as well the the driver of the PUJ were injured while the lady driver got away scot free without any marks on her body except for jitters. |
The female driver (non resident) who didn’t have a driver’s license and was driving the vehicle of a friend/boss (resident), gave her voter’s ID to the guard & a flock of her friend’s (boss’) friends came to make usi. Na-rattle si village guard coz of the “big named” residents who came to her immediate rescue including one who claimed to be their company lawyer. Ang sabi pa daw “just file what you need to file I’m getting her out of here”. Wow. Iba na talaga ang big time.

The village guard let the female driver go kasi nanginginig daw, as well as all the things inside the vehicle to another “friend” who rushed to her aide -when the tv show CSI obviously taught us not to touch anything from the crime scene! @_@ Sana man lang nag-radyo sya sa higher ups for guidelines.
I’m not saying there’s anything questionable in her (or the car’s) possession, but nanginginig? Pula ang mata? (hearsay) And hitting the jeep when it was obviously at a full stop on the side road reserved usually for alighting passengers (when based on her friend’s/vehicle owner’s address she was supposed to turn left?) ? Why the need to clean out EVERYTHING from the vehicle???
I feel for the guard. I know he’s like a teeny tiny helpless goldfish swimming among big bad sharks. Ano nga naman ang laban nya? Pero papaano naman kami?
When Kap finally got to the scene of the accident after an hour, the vehicles have been towed, wala nang guard, wala nang lady driver. Puno lang inabutan nya, maraming puno! So he proceeded to the precinct & stayed there ’til the wee hours waiting for the lady driver & the owner of the vehicle -or even the supposed company lawyer, to come. Awa ng Diyos hanggang ngayon impounded pa rin yung accord. No show sila.
His PUJ turned 90 degrees from the impact & the left wheel landed on top of the Honda Accord. Can you imagine how hard the jeepney was hit for it to turn & LAND on the car that hit it?? To think we residents are only allowed a maximum of 40/kph on minor roads & 60/kph on major roads. Wreckless driving talaga!

| The PUJ hit a tree as it slammed when it turned. |
 |
| A 70-year old lady was alighting when the accord hit the PUJ (at a very high speed I must say!) at the shoulder of the street in front of the intersection.Putol ang daliri sa paa ni lola. So far she’s had 5 operations on her leg! @_@ |
 |
| GRA-VE! |
So in the duration of that 1 week, Kap received numerous letters indicating he has some financial obligations to meet since pasahero nya ang mga nasakan even though he’s just the operator. Liabilities kung baga. Siya pa ngayon ang dapat magbayad?! Eh pareho lang po tayong biktima mga sir..
 |
| Lola’s son in law & lawyer summoned us to the barangay this morning for an amicable settlement. |
 |
| The other party said they will shoulder the bill, meaning they knew they were at fault. Paanong nag-180 degrees at kami na ngayon ang pinagbabayad? zOMG! |
 |
| At the baranggay.. |
 |
| Hindi man lang nag-ahit mukha tuloy siyang GOON! @_@ |

Sana, huwag umandar ang pera dito. Money talks. And in this village where money is not a rare commodity, paubusan ng kayamanan ang mangyayari. Pataasan ng ___! palakihan ng ___! I just want justice! Don’t let them get away. PLEASE!

| All is quiet along Guyabano street… |

| Wow may benz.. siguro naman kaya nyong ipagamot yung 5 pasahero pati na yung drivier... |

Seriously? … OMG! The fact that the person driving the accord didn't have any license is already a big NO-NO! Hindi pwedeng pa alisin ung tao na un from the scene unless injured and would need immediate medical attention.Furthermore, after having made certain promises and none fulfilled cases should be filed on that party. OMG!!!! I got a feeling this would end in court. I hope and pray that everything would be all right po! Kaya po yan!
July 12, 2013 at 8:24 amoh gosh janey was this that biggie accident along CCD last week? and teka, walang license pala yung bruha so how can she just go scott free?? nakakainis naman diyan natakot sa "BIGATIN" names ang security. oo nga, have been hearing not too good things about our barangay officials so monitor all the goings on closely my dear neighbor, and huwag pabayaan na may injustice na maganap.
July 12, 2013 at 8:59 amhuhuhu oo nga techoy. Negligence in the first degree! nag-name drop lang pinakawalan na. At dahil hindi sya mahanap, si jef ngayon ang hinahabol huhuhu
July 12, 2013 at 9:02 amIKR! She really should be taught a lesson. Pero alam mo na dito sa pilipinas… @_@
July 12, 2013 at 9:03 amCan you still trace who is the friend (village resident) of that lady driver? Maybe you can also file a case against her since sa kanya ang car. Better get a lawyer also. Kawawa naman yun lola. Wala bang ibang passengers na pwedeng mag-testify na hindi kasalanan ng driver nyo?— thekitchengoddess
July 12, 2013 at 11:13 amThe law is on your side the mere fact that your vehicle is not in motion and is hit from behind, whoever hit it is liable, the sad fact is the driver is not the car owner and driving with out a license ( a criminal offense itself) so therefore not covered by the car insurance so your fight here is to get her and the friend ( car owner) to pay for all the damages from their own pocket as no insurance company will pay for this, these would prove to be a long battle for you and your Kap. Goodluck and God Bless..
July 12, 2013 at 3:00 pmIt"s sad that some people with money but without integrity really believes they are above the law. Hope and pray that the driver, friend, lawyer will get what they deserve.They make simple problem, complicated. If they got money, they just have to admit they are at fault and settle it. Poor Lola, hope this won't happen to their lola or other members of their family…..GODBLESS.
July 12, 2013 at 6:30 pmhi albert! 🙂 ikr, why make it so cmplicated & why hide? Even the owner of the car is not cooperating. 🙁
July 12, 2013 at 9:22 pmThe owner of the car is the daughter of a prominent ambassador so it's really very hard to make them come out. They've been summoned but they don't even make an effort to appear. The least they could do is act contrite, right? 😛
July 12, 2013 at 9:24 pmYes it's been proven that we're not at fault, even in the police report we have been cleared. We are also trying to help in any way we can but we are talking about 5 passengers here. How can we be financially liable for 5 passengers when we are also victimes ourselves. The driver of our PUJ also sustained injuries & is not working at the moment. Sana makunsensya the people responsible..
July 12, 2013 at 9:28 pmI was feeling all "o-m-g" when I saw the pics of your jeep and then highblood na towards the end. grabe naman yan! you can just imagine how fast she was driving para tumaob yung jeep na may mga sakay pa. I honestly don't want to be judgmental pero… was she high (there, I said it LOL)? ang laki laki ng main roads nyo e with humps at almost every corner and warning signs pa! and yeah, clean out everything?? hmmm.. Driving without a license and hitting a parked vehicle (lalo na hindi naman nakabalandra sa daan at lalo na dahil PUJ un)makes her and the owner of the car liable no matter which way you look at it. I really hope they don't get away with this kahit pa may mga big fish backing her up. Gagastos nalang din naman sila para i-bribe kung sino man ang kailangan, e bayaran nalang nila yung liabilities nila at least clear conscience sila kahit papaano. So sad to hear about the Lola, I hope she and the others injured get better soon. And I hope things get better for you and Kap too. Keep us posted. God bless! 🙂
July 13, 2013 at 7:51 amHi Sheila! 🙂 I miss you! </3 yeah there's something fishy going on but we're letting the barangay handle it first before we take the next step. Mahirap kasi for us to go to them baka mapagbintangan pa kami ng harassment. And we don't know the kind of people they are. Obviously, not very good -for them to let this matter go on this long without any explanation or cooperation! @_@ Hope all is well on your end. Mwah! :-*
July 13, 2013 at 9:25 amAww that's sweet! I always check your blog for new posts para updated ako sa iyo. hehehe True about the harassment thing. But I do hope the barangay gets things done fast kasi I'm sure kayo naman ang kinukulit ng injured ones. :(Things are good with me except that it seems I'm caught in a Mercury Retrograde phenomenon or whatever (inaamin ko, ngayon ko lang narinig yan! hahaha) Lucas started school so that's keeping me busy and tired but utterly joyous in playing stagemom, clicking away with my camera, and IG-ing. LOLDate soon! :-*
July 13, 2013 at 10:47 amna high blood nman ako sa power play. e ano ngayun kung atty ang backer nya e ang chief justice nga pede ma impeach ano pa kaya ang isang ordinary atty. that illegal driver should go to jail
July 14, 2013 at 7:16 amhuhuhu keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you for sympathizing with us. 🙂
July 14, 2013 at 10:29 amNakakainis on how some people get can away with responsibility. Juice ko, parang yupi yuping yero ang sasakyan nyo tapos no-show sila?!? WTF!!!!
July 16, 2013 at 3:30 amreport to someone else, mahirap yan if sa police station lang kasi if VIP ung dad nya talaga then they would be too scared to act. Tulfo? Imbestigador? xxx? mayor?
July 16, 2013 at 9:40 amoo nga. Sana kahit sa mga nasaktan man lang. 🙁 heartless!
July 16, 2013 at 10:46 amHay naku. Peace officer of the world si kap. Ayaw ng gulo. Ipa-sa-Diyos nalang daw. He's way too nice! @_@
