Hi, my name is Maria and I am pregnant. I was walking to work one night when all of a sudden I was struck by a multi-purpose vehicle. Then I was run over by an oncoming SUV who could not see me because the tint on his window was too dark. The vehicles struck me so hard that my baby came out and was lying next to me in the middle of the road.

A 36-year-old six-month pregnant nurse died after she was hit and ran over by two cars in Purok Proper North, Barangay Taloc, Bago City, Negros Occidental on Sunday night, June 1.
Police Lt. Col. Ariel Pico, office-in-charge of Bago City Police Station, identified the victim as Maria of Barangay Taloc, Bago City.
Pico said Maria was crossing the road on a pedestrian lane when she was hit by a Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV).
She was thrown due to the impact to the opposite lane where she was run over by an oncoming sedan driven by 59-year-old Salvador of Pulupandan, Negros Occidental.
Her unborn child also died in the incident.
A photo of the incident captured by a netizen showing a woman and her baby lying on the road circulated on social media.
The woman was on her way to work to a rural health unit in Valladolid, Negros Occidental when the incident happened at 9:15 p.m.
The woman and her baby were declared dead in a hospital, Pico said.
Pico said they could not yet explain how the baby suddenly came out of her mother’s womb.
He said that they are awaiting the official medical results of the victim.
Pico said that MPV driver, 30-year-old Philip, of Barangay Cabug here, alleged that he did not notice the victim crossing the road and was surprised when she was hit.
Pico said Philip may have failed to see the victim due to the car’s tint while tailing a motorcycle.
Philip said that he was on his way home from an outing in Cauayan, Negros Occidental, when the incident happened.
He said that he tried to avoid her but it was too late.
Philip said that he disembarked from the vehicle to check her and tried to stop other cars on the opposite lane but failed.
Salvador, who was on his way home, failed to see and avoid the victim.
Pico said that the two drivers were not intoxicated.
He said that charges for reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide will be filed against the drivers who are under police custody.
Hi, my name is Junifel Conel, Sr.. My wife died from an illness and I was up all night the last day of her wake. Despite being overcome with drowsiness I took my young son with me to buy purified water which we were to bring to the funeral. I did my best to keep my eyes open but all of a sudden our car veered into the other lane of the highway and into a parked ten-wheeler. My son survived but I died orphaning both him and his sister.

Two young siblings were orphaned on Saturday, May 31, when their father died in a road accident in Matalam town, Cotabato—the same day their mother, who had succumbed to an illness days earlier, was laid to rest.
Officials of the Cotabato Provincial Police Office told reporters on Sunday, June 1, that the accident fatality, Junifel Conel, Sr. and his son, Junifel, Jr. were on their way to a purified water refilling station in Barangay Kilada in Matalam when the Mitsubishi Adventure he was driving suddenly veered towards the other lane of the highway and hit head-on an Isuzu ten-wheeler truck parked along the route.
Conel, an employee of the Cotabato Provincial Engineer’s Office, and his son were to buy purified water in containers that they were to bring to the cemetery where his spouse was to be buried when they figured in the accident that resulted in his death and left his son injured.
Relatives had told reporters that they are certain that Conel, who was awake the whole night last Friday, May 31, the last day of his wife’s wake, had slept while driving, causing him to lose control of the vehicle he was driving.
The burial of Conel’s wife reportedly proceeded as scheduled despite the incident. Conel's son, who was injured in the accident, is now confined to a hospital.
Members of the Conel clan in Matalam had told reporters that they would take good care of his two orphaned children.

Hi, my name is being withheld. However, I am a family woman who likes to gamble. Needing some money I met up with a guy that I met online. I spiked his drink, robbed him, and then stole his car. Though the car is worth 1.3 million pesos, I was selling it for a mere 240,000 pesos. But the owner of the car saw it and turned me in. He is not the first man who I did this to.

Three days later, he saw his car being sold online.
“’The conduction sticker wasn’t removed. The car worth P1.3 Million in the market was being sold for P240,000,” Casupanan added.
The victim coordinated with Task Force Limbas and was able to nab the suspect, who had previously been involved in previous similar cases.

At knife point, the accomplice took P35,000 in cash from the woman, the report said.
Police added the victim was sexually assaulted by the suspects.
“After her money and cellphone was taken from her, the Vietnamese victim was also raped. So before she was dropped off, she was robbed and raped,” said Asilo.
The victim was dropped off at Barangay San Dionisio in Paranaque City where she reported the incident to police.
The driver suspect was arrested in Cabuyao, Laguna in a follow-up operation last September 7.

The authorities are now looking for the accomplice, who was the driver’s neighbor.
The car used by the suspects as well as the victim’s mobile phone were recovered.
