Bigyan niyo naman ako ng tawad,” he said.(I&#x27;m really sorry. I really did not mean for this to happen.

Ang lakas… nagising na lang ako na wasak na itong likod. Bigla kaming nawalan ng malay eh,” the driver of the pickup truck said.(I was able to brake, but we were hit from behind. When I regained consciousness, the rear was already destroyed) The driver added that they immediately asked the Skyway Patrol Group to call for an ambulance. “Ang tagal (ng ambulansya) mga ilang minuto pa po eh. Noong una gumagalaw pa po eh. Bandang huli po sabi na ng nasa loob na kasama niya, wala na po eh.
