00:00Possibly facing reckless imprudence resulting in multiple damage to property with physical injury,
00:06the jeep driver was hit by a concrete barrier in Antipolo.
00:09The jeep counter-flowed to the concrete barriers.
00:13According to the police, the jeep had no brakes.
00:15The jeep was hit by seven vehicles before it was hit by a hoolicam.
00:20Ten people were injured.
00:22The driver of the Antipolo Component City Police Station has been detained
00:25and pleaded not guilty.
00:31A hoolicam that counter-flowed along the Sumulong Highway in Antipolo
00:35was hit by a passenger jeep.
00:37Almost all vehicles and motorcycles in the area were hit by the jeep
00:41before it hit the concrete barriers.
00:43According to the driver, the jeep had no brakes.
00:46For more details, we will interview Police Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Manondo,
00:51Acting Chief of Police Antipolo Component City Police Station.
00:54Good evening to you, sir.
00:57Yes, good evening to all the viewers of Dapat Alam Mo.
01:01Yes, sir Manondo.
01:03Let's clarify in your investigation,
01:05did the jeep lose its brakes before it hit the concrete barriers
01:10or did it counter-flow first before it lost its brakes?
01:14In our investigation, you noticed it right away when it was coming down from here.
01:21It was coming down and you noticed that it lost its brakes.
01:24It was hit by 6 motorcycles for that particular time before it counter-flowed.
01:30It realized that there was traffic on the right side of the road
01:35where it was more determined to counter-flow
01:38because the left side of the road is a bit wide.
01:41That's why it counter-flowed.
01:43Sir, what...
01:44It noticed that the vehicle was not stopping
01:48and it was already hit by the concrete barriers of the DPWH.
01:52Sir, what cases can the driver face?
01:56Honestly sir, as of now, all the victims of the driver have settled.
02:04They have been arraigned.
02:06They have talked and their cases have been notarized.
02:11There will be no more complaints against this driver
02:16other than the issue of violation of destruction of public property, which is ticket only.
02:27Sir, for our viewers, are there any chances that the vehicles can counter-flow?
02:33When is that allowed?
02:37Actually, there is none.
02:39First of all, accidents can really cause if we counter-flow.
02:44There are a lot of rules that we always keep right.
02:48What the driver might have done is that he might have done more damage
02:54if he didn't counter-flow.
02:56He will continue to stay on the other side of the road.
02:59Of course, sir.
03:01If that's the case, you know, you will get more complaints.
03:04You will avoid it.
03:05You will really avoid it, right sir?
03:06Sir, for the violators, what is the possible punishment?
03:11First of all, it depends on the damage.
03:14First of all, if they were able to commit suicide because of that recklessness.
03:21Reckless imprudence resulting to homicide if they were able to commit suicide.
03:25Meanwhile, in this case, reckless imprudence resulting to physical injury.
03:32There are multiple physical injuries.
03:34What is certain is the damage to property.
03:38Chief, is there a case of driving a public utility vehicle that is not in condition?
03:44Is there a case like that?
03:47There is none.
03:48It's just the recklessness.
03:50Including the recklessness.
03:51Yes, sir.
03:52The recklessness that he committed is a bit generic.
03:56Colonel Manong Doy, motorists who counter-flow because of traffic,
04:01is that okay or not?
04:03Actually, it's definitely a violation of traffic rules.
04:06Everyone will counter-flow except for extreme emergencies like ambulances.
04:12Firefighters.
04:13Yes, firefighters.
04:15That is the generally accepted point because of emergency or exigency of service.
04:21Yes, yes.
04:22Chief Manong Doy, what are your reminders to our motorists,
04:25to those who are driving in the middle of the road that could be affected by this incident?
04:30Yes, sir.
04:31In general, it's not just because of the old jeep.
04:37All of these, we should check our vehicles before we use them.
04:43Especially if they are old or have initial symptoms.
04:50Yes.
04:51We can hear someone knocking.
04:53So, we should be careful because we should not risk our safety
04:58or the safety of our loved ones and other people.
05:02Yes.
05:03Colonel, one question.
05:04Personal opinion.
05:05Should we modernize the old jeep or should we leave it as it is?
05:12This is a political issue.
05:14I believe there are studies about this.
05:17Times are changing to change.
05:20Thank you very much, Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Manong Doy,
05:25Acting Chief of Police Antipolo Component City Police Station.
