In a report by Darlene Cay on GMA News 24 Oras on Thursday, it was said that the incident occurred at the intersection of Bayshore Avenue and Diokno Boulevard in Pasay City on Sunday morning.
“Yung nabanga yung tatay ko, tinatawagan siya ng pinsan ko. Tapos enforcer po pala ‘yun, sabi nadisgrasya yung tatay ko. Tinawagan din ako ng pinsan ko, kaya pumunta po ako doon agad. Na-shock po ako, hindi ko alam yung gagawin ko,” according to the victim’s son.
The victim was declared dead on arrival when he was taken to the hospital.

The family was preparing for the victim’s 60th birthday celebration in May.
“Malambing siya, mabait siya sa akin pati sa ibang kapatid ko,” according to the son.
Police investigation revealed that both the victim and the pickup were on the right side of the intersection when the incident occurred.
“At that time na mag go-go, naka-move ng 3 to 5 meters yung Hilux, naramdaman niya, umangat yung kaliwang gulong niya sa front, ayun na 'yon, nangyari na yung bungguan nila,” said Police Captain Alvin Bagay, Pasay Vehicular Traffic Investigation head.
The pickup driver allegedly explained that he did not notice the victim. However, a medical examination of the driver allegedly revealed that he had been drinking when the incident occurred.
“Base sa record namin, dahil pina-medical namin, may content ng alak yung tao. According dun sa mga kasama nila, kumain daw sila sa restaurant. Yung girlfriend niya sabi niya na nakainom din siya ng kaunti,” according to Bagay.
“Nakakagalit kasi bakit nagda- drive ng lasing? Definitely, magpu-pursue kami ng case kasi namatay tatay ko. So dapat lang na may hustisya yung tatay ko,” insisted the victim's son.
