Old Man Deliberately Run Over by SUV

This video is from the Manila Bulletin's Facebook page and I am uploading it for a wider circulation. The video is described as:
CCTV footage shows an old man getting hit by an SUV at M. Lozada St. cor Dalia St. Sto Rosario Pateros (Sto. Rosario Subdivision). Onlookers left the body of the old man on the road. (Video courtesy: Steve Armstrong)




The video is absolutely strange. An old man is standing in the middle of the road with his hand on his chest and head drooped over like he is either asleep or having a heart attack. When a vehicle approaches he barely shuffles off to the side as if he is hardly aware of what is happening. Then the SUV pushes him, knocks him down, and runs right over him without hesitation.  The old man drops like a sack as if he is not even in his body and does not even offer a struggle against the force overtaking him.

And then what happens?  Everyone congregates around the body to stare and then they just walk away. No one even bothers to put up a barrier to protect the body. No one attempts to move the body (which they should not have done anyway). Do they call for help? If they did no one bothers to protects the man's body until help arrives and another car drives right past it as if it is a sack of garbage.

Ladies and gentlemen this is life in the Philippines.
