Authorities have placed the driver and his companion under custody. Both of them vowed to shoulder the burial expenses of the victim.
Police continue to investigate the case while the victim’s relatives have not yet given any public statement.
The tragic accident has drawn attention to road safety in the area, with residents expressing worry about reckless driving on the highway.
If a tricycle driver hits and kills a man walking on the side of the road, the driver may face criminal charges such as reckless imprudence resulting in homicide under Philippine law.
He will be placed under police custody while an investigation is conducted to determine if negligence, overspeeding, or other violations caused the accident.
The driver may also face civil liability, which means he and possibly the tricycle owner must provide financial compensation to the victim’s family, including funeral and burial expenses, loss of income, and damages for the emotional suffering caused.
If proven guilty in court, the driver may serve a jail sentence, pay fines, or both.
However, penalties can vary depending on the circumstances, such as whether the driver stayed and helped the victim, or if he fled the scene, which would result in heavier consequences.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
