Two criminology students, Neil Lasaca and James Magapang, met a tragic end in a motorcycle accident at a roadside in Purok 3, Brgy. Buklad, Tagum City, Davao del Norte.

According to their friends, the two students were on their way to help their group prepare for their thesis defense.

Their sudden silence in the group chat raised concern among their groupmates, who began to worry when both stopped responding.

A report by Brigada News Philippines stated that the victims had left early in the morning and were believed to be heading home when the accident occurred.

Investigators suspect the two may have lost control of their motorcycle, causing them to crash.

Tragically, no witnesses were present when the accident happened. As a result, the incident went undiscovered for several days.

It was only when a foul smell began to spread in the area that passing motorists and nearby residents investigated and made the grim discovery — the decomposing bodies of Neil and James.

The heartbreaking loss of the two students has devastated their families and friends.

Their untimely passing has also raised concerns about road safety and the importance of prompt accident reporting, especially in areas with limited visibility or foot traffic.

As the investigation continues, loved ones remember Neil and James not just as students, but as dedicated individuals committed to completing their academic journey — a journey tragically cut short.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In a previous report by KAMI, the Land Transportation Office has already taken action on the driver of the SUV that rammed people in NAIA Terminal 1. On their Facebook page, the agency said they put the driver's license on preventive suspension for 90 days while investigations are still ongoing. It can be recalled that the SUV suddenly accelerated, resulting in 2 casualties and a couple of people injured. An SCO has already been issued against the registered owner of the SUV and the driver involved in the tragic incident.

Additionally, the Overseas Filipino Worker, father of the 5-year-old girl victim in the NAIA Terminal 1 incident yesterday, has no longer proceeded to leave the country. In a report by GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' he and other family members went to a Pasay funeral facility where the initial processing of the deceased victims was made. The OFW father of the girl victim personally took his daughter's remains and will be bringing them to Lipa City, Batangas.
