Lugar ng mga batang nangangarap, ng mga gurong umaalalay. Isang umagang dapat puno ng ingay at halakhak—hindi ng sirena, hindi ng iyakan, at lalong hindi ng dugo sa semento.

Ngunit kahapon ng umaga, may malakas na kalabog na narinig. Ito’y isang señior citizen na pala. Isang mahal sa buhay ng kung sino. Sa mismong harap ng paaralan, habang tumatawid, sinagasaan ng motor na biglang sumingit, nag-“overtake”.

At sa isang iglap, naglaho ang isang buhay.

Malapit sa mga guhit ng tawiran, mga linyang dapat nagsusumigaw ng “Ligtas ka rito,” ngunit tila wala nang saysay sa mga gulong na pilit nauuna kahit may buhay na nasa daan.

Dito, kahit may tawiran, para kang nakikipagkarera sa mga sasakyang ni hindi man lang bumabagal kahit may tumatawid. Nakakabingi ang bilis. Nakakasilaw ang kawalang-pakialam. At nakakabasag ng puso ang katahimikan matapos ang lahat.

Kumusta na rin kaya ang drayber? Ang aksidente ito’y hindi lamang sugat sa balat, kundi bigat na dadalhin ng konsensya gabi-gabi. Ngunit higit sa lahat, ang bigat na iyon ay ngayo’y pasan ng pamilyang naiwan, ng umagang biglang nagdilim.

Matagal nang isinisigaw ng mga karatula.
Matagal nang nakapinta sa mga linya ng kalsada.
Matagal nang isinusumamo ng mga magulang:
“Mag-iingat ka.” “Drive Safely.”

Ngunit, bakit tila kailangang may masawi muna
bago tayo makinig?

Bakit kailangan may buhay munang mawala, bago tayo matutong bumagal sa kalsada?

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 — Earlier, around 6:00 AM, an unfortunate accident occurred near City College of Angeles (CCA) involving a senior citizen who was hit by a motorcycle while crossing the road. According to initial reports, the motorcycle was overtaking a tricycle when it struck the elderly woman and subsequently collided with a car. She was immediately rushed to the hospital. Updates on her condition are yet to be released.

This incident serves as a strong reminder to all drivers and pedestrians alike: our roads demand responsibility and mindfulness. Discipline on the road should be practiced everywhere because one reckless choice can endanger anyone, anywhere.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This story has been updated to reflect that according to ACDRRMO’s Team Charlie, one of the victims was found with “no pulse and no breathing” at the scene, and transported to RLMMC.
