Its a weekday daily routine that after my children left for school, I always open the TV and watch for the latest news. I got shocked to know that Atty. Rene Saguisag’s Toyota Grandia van was engaged in a vehicular accident at about 2am this morning.

Atty. Rene Saguisag was seriously hurt along with his driver, Felipe Calvario, their dance instructor, Rhea Obong while his wife, Dulce Saguisag was declared DOA at Ospital ng Makati (OSMAK) where they were initially rushed. Atty. Saguisag and his driver were transferred to Makati Medical Center. Rhea Obong sustained the least injuries. Recent reports said that Atty. Saguisag is now conscious.

According to the news,they were on they way home after attending a ballroom dancing at Byke’s Cafe in Makati City when their were hit by a dump truck in Pasay Road near SLEX. The dump truck driver, Manuel Geronimo is under the custody of Makati Police and will be facing charges of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, serious physical injuries and damage to property.

The taxi driver, Jeoffrey Olmogez who’s behind Atty. Saguisag’s van was interviewed by TV Patrol and confirmed that they already had a green light and estimated the dump truck to be running at estimated speed of 110kph contrary to the dump truck driver’s statement that the car carrying the Saguisag couple was running quite fast and that he had the green light. Palusot!

Let’s pray for the fast recovery of Atty. Rene Saguisag, our former Senator and Human Rights Lawyer. Our deepest sympathy to the Saguisag Family for their loss.
