Fritz Sebugero, who hails from Barili town, sustained leg, arm and neck injuries and was rushed by an emergency medical team to a nearby hospital.

The driver, Noel Inot was brought to the Cebu City Traffic Operations Management (Citom) office for questioning.

I gotta admit.. After looking at this photo for a few minutes, I almost feel like all 4 main characters are staged... :)

Do you get the feeling that the masks are to hide the identities and not in response to possible contagion? :unsure:

Is it sure the SUV was speeding?   Many Filipins walk at roads as crazy...  :unsure:

while it is true Filipino pedestrians don't help themselves, SUV drivers are the worst. They are divorced from reality by being enclosed in these airconditioned bubbles. They can't hear anything, even when they don't have the music on loud.

Reality is overrated.

it is known as risk compensation psychology. Where 'big is best'. So drivers of bigger vehicles feel free to drive like jerks because they know if anything happens and they collide with something else they are much likelier to emerge unscathed than the little guy.

You would think that was the case. Unfornuately, TB is still very well spread among the pinoy population.

Yes, and many are carriers many years, without got ill themselves (yet).  

I don't remember the numbers I read, but it's a big part.

Key facts

• Tuberculosis (TB) is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide due to a single infectious agent.
• In 2012, 8.6 million people fell ill with TB and 1.3 million died from TB.
• Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and it is among the top three causes of death for women aged 15 to 44.

• TB is a leading killer of people living with HIV causing one fifth of all deaths.
• Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is present in virtually all countries surveyed.
