The heartbreaking scene, captured in viral videos, drew public sympathy and outrage.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon earlier stated that initial CCTV footage suggests the crash appeared unintentional.

In a compassionate response to the tragedy, Ramon Ang, president of AIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), has pledged to shoulder the medical expenses of the injured victims.
Ang’s company oversees the operations of the NAIA Terminal 1 through a consortium agreement.
As investigations continue, authorities are working to clarify the full circumstances behind the fatal crash.
The driver remains in custody, and legal proceedings are expected to follow.
The incident has prompted calls for stronger safety measures in airport drop-off zones to prevent similar tragedies.
