01:30Oh.
01:30Hey!
01:31Hey!
01:32Hey!
01:33Hey, hey, hey!
01:34Look out!
01:35My phone!
01:36Where are you going?
01:37Ahh.
01:39♪♪
01:48♪♪
01:58We are here at the Lulong La Trinidad.
02:02This is our family compound.
02:04and this is where we made the family plaque for our miss, Mother Rose Langdeo.
02:17This happened in an accident on the island of Sibas in Sablanbinget on August 18, 2010.
02:34When we woke up in the morning, Ma'am C said there was a meeting at the trading post.
02:47I thought she was at the kids' store waiting for their meeting.
02:54But she was on a trip. She didn't tell me she was on a trip.
02:58Prior to that day, it was Monday, she went to the post.
03:03She asked me if I could give her a message because they were going for a mission.
03:10She said they were going down.
03:12The trip was good.
03:15Then suddenly there was a loss break.
03:18We all got up.
03:20Then we all got up.
03:25When I saw the conductor jump, I got up too.
03:33I jumped out of the window.
03:36There's no one here.
03:38What do we do?
03:40There's only one.
03:42There's a lot more. Look.
03:44There's only one survivor.
03:46I'm embarrassed.
03:47There's only a few people there.
03:50Move it.
03:52Move it.
03:53Good.
03:54Sir, sir, move it.
03:57This is the second priority.
04:00Around 9 in the morning, we received a call from Sir Paeng.
04:09He said there was an accident with a bus in Sablan, Naguilian.
04:14There were a lot of victims, more than 40 plus.
04:18When I was cooking, my daughter was outside eating.
04:23Then suddenly our roof fell off, so I came out.
04:28The bus conductor went downstairs.
04:32He didn't know what he was doing, so he called on his cell phone.
04:39It was about 50 meters deep when the bus hit us.
04:45So what we did was we hooked a rope.
04:49It was more of a casualty.
04:51So when you checked, it was only a minute.
04:56You only check if there's a pulse or if there's air coming out.
05:01That's the first chance you have of survival.
05:05And because of that, the impact of that bus
05:08made everyone in front of us shrink.
05:11When that bus came back, it was hard.
05:15You had to look for a way through.
05:20I was conscious when it hit me.
05:23They put me on a spineboard and a stoke bus.
05:27That's what we did.
05:28We just packed up and transported.
05:31It was hard to transport.
05:33It was hard to get up because the terrain was slippery.
05:47If there's a pulley, it's easy for 5 to 10 people.
05:52But when the bus hit us, we had to help each other.
05:55Even if we were just passing by, we helped each other.
06:13Sir, what's your name?
06:16Sir Sunny.
06:18What's your name?
06:23He was about to change gears, but he couldn't get in.
06:27And there was no brakes.
06:30So we had to get up quickly because it was going downhill.
06:34So we tried to get closer, but the bus was too fast.
06:45Cervical collar improvised.
06:48It's okay now.
06:49How deep is it?
06:51How deep is it?
06:57Every minute is important.
06:59Because you can't say how long the victims will live.
07:13Wait a minute.
07:15What did you do to them?
07:18First, we checked if they had any injuries in their necks.
07:25We had to stabilize them so they wouldn't move.
07:28Second, we had to splint and tie their fractured areas.
07:35And if there was any bleeding, we had to put pressure on them
07:41so they wouldn't continue to be in shock.
07:47We didn't put any textures or swears on them.
07:54Only the person holding them.
07:57One, two, three.
08:00It was important to stabilize the victims in the triage area
08:05because the hospital is far away.
08:08The ambulance would take about 20 minutes to get there.
08:12The worst-case scenario is when the victims run out of blood.
08:20One of the victims was the driver.
08:24He was one of the survivors.
08:30He had a head injury, spinal cord injury, and fractures.
08:35He was a bit deep, but he was able to speak.
08:44Most of them were dead on the spot.
08:48Most of the deaths were caused by head injuries.
08:52There were a lot of fractures in the back, legs, and everything.
08:57You could see the impact of the impact of the crash.
09:04It wasn't easy to get them.
09:08Some of them were extricated.
09:10If you look at the seats, the steel seats,
09:16that's where the bullet hit them.
09:24Shyam was taken to Baguio General Hospital, where he survived.
09:29They were given further treatment to help them.
09:34There were about 42 of them in the wing.
09:39Most of them died in the hospital.
09:46Run, run, run!
09:51Run, run, run!
09:55This was our biggest run.
09:59I couldn't sleep for a few days.
10:02I kept thinking about the faces of the victims.
10:07They were so pitiful.
10:10Sometimes, when you close your eyes at night,
10:14you can still see the faces of the people asking for help.
10:19But it was too late.
10:21We couldn't save their lives.
10:27The bus was headed to Tirreno Highway, but now it's headed to Ilian Road.
10:34The bus came from Baguio to La Union.
10:40We investigated the bus driver.
10:43He said that the bus was heading to Ilian Road,
10:48but it didn't make it.
10:51It didn't make it to Tirreno.
10:54It was a fast bus, because it was going downhill.
10:58It was almost there, but it got stuck.
11:03The result of the accident is that the driver is liable.
11:09We filed a case of reckless imprudence
11:13resulting in multiple physical injuries and homicides.
11:19The driver was drunk, that's why he's unconscious now.
11:25This concrete barrier was not there before.
11:29It wasn't there before, and it's not there now.
11:33That's why this concrete barrier was installed.
11:47I fell off a tree and lost consciousness.
11:51When I woke up, I was already at the hospital.
11:54I had a wound on my hand, on my face, and here.
11:58The bus company didn't help me.
12:05We were given cash from the insurance company,
12:10but other than that, nothing from the bus company.
12:14Not even a single cent or a hint of help.
12:17We filed a case against the driver and the bus company,
12:22but until now, two years have passed,
12:25but there's still no definite answer to the case.
12:34I don't have any physical injuries anymore.
12:41It was just sudden.
12:44I'm just groping in the dark after the incident.
12:50The longer it takes for the case to be closed,
12:55we thought time would heal us, but no.
12:59Until now, the wound is still fresh in our hearts.
13:19We will continue to travel, especially for passenger vehicles,
13:25towards uphill climbs, like Baguio Mountain.
13:30Let's avoid overcrowding or overloading.
13:37That's one of the reasons why a vehicle might not be able to reno.
13:48If it's coming from the top, it will suddenly slide.
13:54Before you run, check everything.
13:57First, the brakes.
13:59Let's check it first.
14:01It might break.
14:03Especially the brake discs, the masters.
14:09If there are accidents like this, you know that the brakes are gone.
14:14The first thing we should do, passengers,
14:17is to hold on to the parts of the vehicle that should be held.
14:23Or the driver, especially in the mountainous areas,
14:28should avoid crashing into the rocks on the right side
14:33so that there will be less damage, especially to the passengers.
14:41There were 20 passengers in the passenger vehicle.
14:45They were all on one side.
14:47Some were crying.
14:49When we got there, we were able to reach the driver.
14:56A jeep lost its brakes and crashed into an apartment in Baguio City.
15:01The driver and his passengers were seriously injured.
15:11The day the jeep crashed into Hotel Supreme,
15:17Sir Paeng's radio was the only one that reported the jeep had crashed into a parking lot.
15:24The jeep crashed into a parking lot.
15:35There were 20 passengers in the passenger vehicle.
15:39They were all on one side.
15:41Some were crying.
15:43When we got there, we were able to reach the driver.
15:47He was already on the road.
15:49The people who saw what happened also helped.
15:55Where did this come from?
15:57From Baguio.
15:59Where is the driver?
16:01The driver was the most seriously injured.
16:05He had a suspected fracture in his leg and ribs.
16:09That's why we took him first.
16:12He had a suspected fracture in his leg.
16:18That's why he had a blood loss.
16:24His leg was deformed.
16:26We put a splint so that his leg wouldn't move.
16:31There were no signs that he was intoxicated with alcohol.
16:36I was shocked.
16:38The impact was so strong.
16:40I thought it was just the top of his leg.
16:43When we got here, the impact was so strong.
16:46When I looked out of the window,
16:48I saw a woman with blood on her body because the jeep was already on the side.
16:57The woman was on the driver's side.
17:01The woman was on the driver's side.
17:04She threw herself because the door was open.
17:07She was on the ground.
17:09I saw that there was a hole in the wall.
17:13I told them not to move and to wait for the rescue.
17:18The woman was already out of the jeep when we got here.
17:22She was already helped by others.
17:24But her head was injured because her head hit the windshield.
17:30The woman had a big bump on her head.
17:36When we gave them the first aid,
17:40we brought them to the DGH in Baguio.
17:45They were treated there.
18:01When the jeep was on its way to La Trinidad-Tomay,
18:08at that point, the brakes were already gone.
18:12Instead of going straight up to the wall,
18:15there were a lot of bumps,
18:17so the jeep stopped here and fell down.
18:20This house was hit by the jeep.
18:23This house is 18 to 20 feet deep.
18:27The impact on the jeep was very strong.
18:34While on the process of crossing the road,
18:39the vehicle developed a mechanical trouble,
18:42the loose brake.
18:44It came out from the other side of the road.
18:48The vehicle developed a mechanical trouble,
18:51the loose brake.
18:52It came out from our investigation
18:54that the driver and the vehicle were already at fault
18:57because they were doing it responsibly.
18:59Therefore, they should be the ones to pay for the damaged property
19:05and help with the medical expenses of the injured people.
19:09No one pressed charges against the injured people.
19:13Those who claimed damages to the property
19:16also received an amicable settlement.
19:20In the so-called accident,
19:22no one was found dead.
19:26According to the statistics of the number of accidents
19:30here in Baguio City,
19:32of the three major components of the accident,
19:35the number one reason is the human error.
19:39We recorded 1,261 traffic vehicular accidents in Baguio.
19:46In the fatal accident,
19:52because of the mountainous terrain,
19:55our expansion for widening is limited
19:58because the road is there.
20:00The road terrain is very different
20:03because if it is not steep and ascending or descending,
20:07most likely there will be an accident.
20:09As far as I can see,
20:11the airport intervention of our city,
20:14or the engineering aspect, is needed.
20:16Many of the roads here have blind turfs,
20:21ascending and descending roads.
20:23It should be in conformity with the international standard
20:26that anyone can recognize
20:28that the place you are stepping on is an accident prone area.
20:37Thank you very much for watching our program.
20:41Until next Thursday,
20:43I am your host, Clavio.
20:45Here in Rescue, we believe that anyone can help.
21:07Uncover the mystery.
