Because his regular driver was off duty on a Sunday, he had been driving himself home after facing a tremendously demanding schedule.
Detailing the harrowing event in his official declaration, Niño stated: "I am issuing this official statement to set the record straight regarding the recent vehicular accident involving my vehicle. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I had not previously given any personal statement regarding the incident.”
He then debunked the early information saying that the cause of the accident was a mechanical failure.
“The initial information released stating that the crash was caused by mechanical failure was based solely on the preliminary findings of the police investigation, not from my own words,” the veteran actor said in his statement.
He then owned up to the accident and admitted his fault. I want to be completely clear and honest: the accident was entirely my fault. Due to an extremely demanding and exhausting schedule, I fell asleep behind the wheel,” Niño said.
He then went on to explain that he was driving that day because his “driver was on his scheduled day off.”
“Because the incident occurred on a Sunday, my regular driver was on his scheduled day off, and I was driving myself. While fatigue overtook me, that is no excuse. Falling asleep at the wheel led directly to hitting a pedestrian and damaging nearby establishments,” he continued in his statement.
The veteran actor then took full responsibility for the accident and made it known that his priority is to ensure the person he accidentally hit receive proper medical care. He also promised to take care of the damages to the properties.
“I take full personal and legal responsibility for what happened. My priority right now is ensuring that the affected individual receives all necessary care, support, and medical assistance, and that all damages caused to the properties and establishments are fully compensated and rectified,” he said in his statement.
Near the end of his statement, Niño apologized and expressed regret for what happened.
“I am deeply sorry to the victim, their family, and everyone affected by my negligence. I am fully cooperating with authorities as this matter is being resolved,” Niño concluded, signing the statement with his real name, Angelo Jose Rocha Muhlach.
The aftermath of the collision left shop owners and witnesses reeling from the shock, yet the actor’s immediate remorse and commitment to shoulder all liabilities provided a measure of reassurance.
Local authorities confirmed that while structural damages to the affected stores and the injured pedestrian's medical care remain top priorities, the celebrity's proactive approach sets a standard for accountability.
Hailing from an iconic entertainment family, Niño Muhlach captured national hearts as Philippine cinema's premier child star during the 1970s and 1980s. Years later, he successfully pivoted to business, currently overseeing the well-known Megamelt Bakeshop and its famous pastries.
Over the weekend, the veteran star drew massive media attention following an unexpected vehicular mishap along the Marcos Highway corridor in Antipolo. Investigators pointed to fatigue as a likely factor, suggesting the celebrity drifted off momentarily and lost control of his sport utility vehicle. The stray vehicle careened off-course, heavily damaging a nearby food stall, a parked motorbike, and several commercial storefronts. Taking full accountability, the actor actively engaged with impacted proprietors on-site to address the immediate fallout.
Meanwhile previously, Niño stood as an unshakable pillar of strength, backing his son Sandro's relentless pursuit of justice. Beyond emotional backing, the veteran actor aggressively secured top-tier legal representation to navigate the complex legal battle. To aid his son's gradual return to television work and therapy transition, Niño maintained a constant and protective presence. Through every grueling stage of the ordeal, Niño's steadfast paternal guidance remained central to his son's recovery journey.
