Road rage again, but...
The Freeman
|October 16, 2025
What started as a simple road rage incident in Quezon City last October 8 later revealed something else.
-
It all began when the driver of a sports utility vehicle slapped the driver of another vehicle after he allegedly cut him off, leading traffic enforcers to intervene.
On video, someone from the SUV is heard saying they are driving for a Very Important Person (VIP) and it was lucky they didn’t open fire.
"VIP kami, ginanon kami. Eh, kung nabaril namin 'yan. Delikado ang ginagawa mo pare," that person says. It wasn’t immediately determined if that person was the same driver accused of slapping the other.
