One dead in Mandaluyong City Shoot-out

December 28, 2017
Video screenshot

From Rappler;

Police fired at a white SUV, a white Mitsubishi Adventure with plate number WNX 737, at around 10:25 pm at Barangay Pleasant Hills. They later recovered a body from the SUV.

Philipppine National Police (PNP) Senior Superintendent Moises Villaceran Jr, the Mandaluyong City police chief told reporters the shootout appeared to have been a case of mistaken identity. A woman was shot in Addition Hills earlier this evening, and the men in the white van brought the woman in their vehicle in an attempt to help.

PNP really messed this up.

Here’s an amateur video from CNN Philippines.

As far as I know, PNP should have at least “inform the suspects that the Police are after them through the use of siren or megaphone and instruct the driver to pull over or stop on the side of the street;”

Unless PNP revised it, you can read all about the Revised PNP Operational Procedures here.

Woman in viral road rage video denies hurting taxi driver

December 27, 2017
Screenshot of the video.

From GMA News;

The woman who was accused of hurting a taxi driver during a traffic altercation has asked the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to dismiss the license revocation complaint against her for lack of merit.

In her position paper, Cherish Sharmaine Interior denied physically hurting taxi driver Virgilio Doctor during a traffic altercation last December 17 along Congressional Avenue in Quezon City.

So rather than asking forgiveness and admitting her fault, she will resort to fighting fire with fire. It will be her word against the driver’s word and their dashcam video against the video the went viral.

Comments on the article is as entertaining as the news. 🙂

Thoughts on the video of taxi driver who was slapped by a woman motorist

December 19, 2017

Like what they say, ‘cooler heads prevail’, apparently that did not happen with Ms. Cherish Sharmaine Interior, since she is now the subject of another road-rage case. It’s all over my feed on facebook and twitter, which I assume it will be the same for everyone else.

Anyway, just read the story from the links below;

If only Ms. Cherish Sharmaine Interior let the incident slide and accepted Virgilio Doctor, 52, apology we all be talking about a different story and may be a dash cam video of an idiot drive who keeps cutting a female driver.

So if ever you’re driving in Metro Manila or anywhere in the world, just remember these tweets from Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan;

It’ll be interesting how this story ends.
