Here in my country the most charge penalty is beating the red light in driving. A lot of people die cause of this. Yesterday my cousin Atty. Rene Saguisag and his wife Dulce met this kind of accident. Atty. Saguisag survive together with his driver and the Secretary who suffered only mild bruises and broken pieces of glass window in her skin. Unfortunately the wife Dead on Arrival at the Makati Medical Hospital. Now the family is in sorrow. The President Mrs. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo condole and visited the bereaved family.
Let me remind you people in driving do not just rely on Traffic lights cause there are some drivers who beats the red light. Look, Listen before u go on green light.

Hi cornchips50! I am sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and the Saguisag family. I saw it in the news and it was really sad because his wife has passed away and I understand that Atty Saguisag, your cousin does not know yet about his wife's fate until now. So how is the family holding on? My prayers for the family and take care.

Hi cornchips,
I am sorry to hear that woe/sad/sorrow/doleful story about the unfortunate incident that had happened. Yes you are true there for your addressing that informative reminder about reckless driver for "traffic light" entry.
Even though I think I am safe from that because I like to use an efficient public transport in working days, but for every weekend I used to drive. And always take careful measures for every traffic lights entry.
Good discussion - thanks for providing useful road safety tips. And happy posting!!!.

I was totally shock when i saw this in the news last night... i admire Atty Rene Saguisag eversince the Edsa Days... i like him for his tenacity, passion, and intelligence... i hope he will be able to pull through because he is such a talented man... i feel for the family for the lost of Mrs. Saguisag and hope that justice will be served...
I wish that this will be an eye opener for those wreckless drivers trying to beat the green light during the wee hours of the night...

Somehow Rene can recognize faces now. Doctor said 85% he will survive. His broken ribs that's the only problem that may cause him to get bedridden. However, your sympathy with the family is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

hi, cornchips. i suggest you change the title. the contents is good. but the title is not reasonable. we should practise more before we drive on the road. because you have to take responsiblity not only for yourself,but aslo for others' safty. i agree with you.
