00:05 If that's the news, we will talk to Police Major Nelson Lamaco,
00:11 the Chief of Police of the Binay Police Station.
00:14 Good morning, Major. This is Audrey Gariceta of Rise and Shine Philippines with Dian Guerrero.
00:20 Sir, good morning to all of you.
00:24 Okay, Major. For the record, based on your record,
00:28 how many people were killed in the accident in the Binay?
00:34 I'm not sure, sir. How many people were killed?
00:38 Yesterday, there were 14 people in the spot.
00:41 Last night, there was an additional one, around 6.45 p.m. in the Bay Citi Hospital.
00:48 So, all in all, sir, 15 people were killed in the accident.
00:54 Okay. These 15 people, were all of their bodies retrieved by the wayside?
01:00 Yes, sir. They were retrieved and their families were cleaned.
01:06 Okay. Please explain to us, the 15 victims,
01:10 they were caught in the 14th. What is the explanation for that, sir?
01:17 Sir, yesterday, during the rescue and retrieval, there were three people who were alive.
01:25 But the critical condition, the condition of the survivors was critical.
01:34 Based on what I saw, based on medical findings,
01:43 there were multiple fractures in their bodies.
01:47 Particularly, in the concert of the hit injuries, that was the cause of death.
01:53 Okay. Some people are reading the initial reports,
01:56 but in your further investigation, for the sake of everyone's knowledge,
02:01 what was the cause of the accident?
02:05 The cause of the accident, yesterday, the driver talked to me,
02:12 the driver, sir, lost his brain, sir.
02:17 Based on our investigation, in the road, we were unable to get a parking sign or street mark.
02:28 So, there, sir, the driver was not able to manage the vehicle.
02:35 He was shot in the back of his head, sir, and he was shot in the back of his head by 15 people, sir.
02:42 Major Nomoc, good morning to you. This is Dianne Quirer.
02:46 So, did the truck still disappear, sir?
02:49 Based on our initial investigation, the truck was not there because we were able to talk to the driver who was still alive.
03:01 The truck was not there, and we looked at the road, there was no sign of a street mark on the road, ma'am.
03:16 So, there were no street signs on that road.
03:19 But was that a killer highway, sir?
03:21 Were you able to find any previous accidents on that particular road?
03:26 No, ma'am. I was just a newbie here. Based on our inquiry, or our interview with the residents and the police here who have been here for a long time,
03:39 it was really a killer highway because there were many previous accidents that they witnessed.
03:50 All right. Sir, to be more clear, the victims of the incident were 15.
03:57 So, were those individuals driving that truck, sir?
04:02 That's right, ma'am. That's right.
04:04 Okay. So, how many total were those who were driving that truck that was in an accident?
04:09 All of them were 17, ma'am. 17. 17, ma'am.
04:18 All right. So, two people survived the accident. Who were those two, sir?
04:23 The driver who survived and one of their companions, a commercial truck driver, Antonio Torino Boganotan,
04:40 was the driver of La Libertad, a commercial truck.
04:45 We were able to find him because based on the driver's license that we obtained, he was already 72 years old.
04:54 Then, the other one, Giovanni Flores Tintin, was the victim of La Libertad.
05:02 They were all relatives of the driver.
05:07 Why were so many people driving that truck, sir? What did they say?
05:12 Because, ma'am, what we can say is that all of the victims were commercial pork dealers.
05:23 So, it's like they went to Dahui, Bayawan City to buy pork.
05:36 It's like, ma'am, this truck that they were driving, they were also loading pork here that they bought.
05:45 And they were also selling it to other countries.
05:49 Alright. One last question, sir Nelson. What did the truck owner say?
05:54 And what did the victims' relatives say when you talked to them?
05:58 The truck owner also died, ma'am, along with his wife and children.
06:09 Alright. I think we have cut off the line of our telephone. Thank you for sharing your information with us,
06:19 Police Major Nelson Lamoco. He is the chief of Mabini Police Station.
