00:00Accidents that were caught on camera, we will investigate and investigate.
00:05No one is safe, just caught on cam.
00:13Pedestrian accidents caught on cam in Quiapo, Manila.
00:18Four people were injured after a tricycle was hit.
00:22Here it is.
00:24A grandmother, her child, and two grandchildren were walking on the side of the road.
00:30Later, they were hit by a tricycle.
00:35Other victims were injured and fell.
00:38They were immediately taken to the hospital.
00:41The tricycle driver explained that he may have fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
00:49Another accident that was caught on cam.
00:52In Barangay Balagtas, Matangas City, also caught on cam.
00:56A man fell while he was crossing the road.
01:01Here it is, in the pool.
01:03In the video, two men were crossing the road.
01:05One man was able to cross the road, but the man in stripes was hit by a car.
01:12In the video, the victim was seen falling.
01:15He was immediately taken to the hospital.
01:20We will talk about pedestrian accidents.
01:23How can safety be ensured when walking or crossing the road?
01:28This morning, we have with us Jun Estalio.
01:31Sir Jun, welcome. Welcome to Unang Hirit.
01:34He is the Director of Road Safety Initiatives and Special Projects of the Philippine Advocates for Safety.
01:40Here is Sir Jun.
01:42Sir Jun, let's talk about the videos.
01:45In our first video, the whole family was walking.
01:48They were on the side.
01:49But not on the sidewalk.
01:51Because many of our sidewalks are not walkable, unfortunately.
01:54But in these situations, what should pedestrians do?
01:59For example, if there is no sidewalk, or if they are really on the side.
02:04Let's look at this, Ivan, the situation.
02:08As you can see, it is clear that there is a demarcation line.
02:12It really defines where people are walking and the traffic that vehicles should pass.
02:19These children who are walking, this is an early morning.
02:24And we can see in the video that the lighting is bright.
02:28There is adequate lighting.
02:30However, they are occupying the dangerous side of the road.
02:35So they should be on the safe side.
02:38Sidewalk.
02:39Sidewalk or walkway, as we call it.
02:41It was provided by the government.
02:45However, it is clear that a driver of a tricycle was reckless.
02:53Now, a way for pedestrians to walk properly and be safe,
03:00they should not occupy or be aware or conscious of the dangerous side of our road.
03:07They can walk in a column formation.
03:11They should not walk in a line formation that they can occupy.
03:17The space is wider.
03:19They will eat on the street.
03:21That's why it becomes a conflict of views.
03:25In this situation, the tricycle driver seems to be unfit to operate a motor vehicle.
03:32Because like what he admitted, he is sleeping.
03:35Yes, it is obvious that the road is wide.
03:38And the traffic is free-flowing.
03:40There is no side or overtake.
03:44That's why it is obviously dangerous.
03:48Sir Jun, let's go to the second video.
03:51There is no pedestrian lane for men to cross.
03:56Wait, which one is this?
04:00That one?
04:02The other one?
04:04Okay.
04:07That's it, Sir Jun.
04:09There is no pedestrian lane.
04:11What should be done?
04:12How can a person cross to avoid such an accident?
04:15We can see that this road is really restricted.
04:20There is no provided crosswalk.
04:25And it is clear that this is a construction area.
04:28The signage is clear on both sides.
04:31There is a barrier blocking it.
04:34In this vehicle, if we can see the complete video,
04:38the speeding was not managed.
04:41That's why the other one was saved but this one was hit.
04:45The intention is, for convenience,
04:49they really crossed the very restricted intersection.
04:54Actually, this is an intersection.
04:56There is another road here.
04:58But if he can see and recognize that this is a construction area,
05:02he should not cross there.
05:04So, in this case, it is okay to walk a little further
05:08but we should look for a safer place to cross.
05:11Yes.
05:12That's why they asked for assistance from the traffic enforcers present here.
05:16For example, you are a driver, a motorist.
05:20You will be surprised.
05:21You don't expect that someone will cross on that side of the road
05:25but suddenly, there is a pedestrian in front of you.
05:27You are not able to...
05:29It's too late.
05:30It's too late to brake.
05:31That's right, Ivan.
05:33But as you mentioned, he was not able to manage his speed.
05:36Maybe we should slow down on the intersections.
05:40This is really the obligation of a motorist to slow down
05:43if he can recognize that he is crossing a construction area.
05:47Sir Jun, there are opportunities.
05:49You are on the right side of the road
05:51but you are still going uphill.
05:55Just press the button.
05:56There you go.
05:58Is this the right way?
05:59Yes.
06:00There you go.
06:01You are on the right side of the road.
06:02There is a pedestrian.
06:03There are still opportunities.
06:04You are still going uphill.
06:08Okay.
06:09There you go.
06:12We can clearly see that there are crosswalks.
06:16We call them crosswalks.
06:17Sometimes, we call them zebra lanes or pedestrian crossings.
06:22People are in a safe place.
06:26They are in a safe place.
06:27But those who are crossing, crosswalks,
06:31they should be aware on both sides, left and right.
06:37The incoming traffic, especially this one,
06:40because you cannot easily detect its speed.
06:43Correct.
06:44It is clear that you are crossing here.
06:46But from your point of view,
06:47you should also look at what is on the right and what is on the left.
06:51With this vehicle,
06:52it is obvious that he can see someone crossing.
06:55He should have pulled over.
06:57He should have pulled over here
06:59because he saw three people crossing.
07:01This is a reminder to motorists, Sir Jun.
07:04Especially for pedestrian lanes,
07:07pedestrians are a priority.
07:09Correct. Pedestrians are a priority.
07:10Okay.
07:11Sometimes, the vehicle is in the way of pedestrians.
07:15Let's respect pedestrian lanes.
07:18They are there for a very specific purpose,
07:21for the safety of pedestrians.
07:23Isn't that right, Sir Jun?
07:24That's right.
07:25Okay.
07:26So, Kapuso, let's be careful on the road.
07:28Sir Jun pointed out that
07:30we should be aware of our surroundings.
07:34Left, right, front, back,
07:36and our entire surroundings.
07:38There are only two sides of our road.
07:40One is the safe side and the other is the sweet side.
07:43That's clear.
07:45Sir Jun Estalio,
07:46Director for Road Safety Initiatives and Special Projects
07:48of Philippine Advocates for Safety.
07:50Thank you very much.
07:51Thank you, Sir.
07:52And Kapuso,
07:53we will examine accidents and crimes.
07:56From now on, there will be no blind spots when it comes to safety.
07:59We will find out.
08:01Caught on Cam.
