7 Fil-Am doctors, nurses killed in Cebu

Over the years, I've never ridden in a van were I didn't experience moments of fear for our safety. We pretty much stick to large buses now, but 10-12 years ago on a local stop, (no A/C, open windows) night bus heading into IloIlo our semi-crazy driver decided to pass another bus, who didn't want to be passed. So we rode down the dark rode side by side as the two macho men competed for the lead for what seemed like an eternity. The other passengers were terrified as well  they jockeyed for position and lead.  No body said anything.... until the ride ended. Then the wife angrily unloaded on him. I was just happy to end the trip alive. In retrospect, we should have started a vocal rebellion when this guy started doing his drag race driver impression.... but people here will sometimes tolerate things that people from other places never would ... even when placed in personal jeopardy.
