Mga nasawi sa Tanay bus accident tour 15 na - ABS CBN news


After 15  deaths were reported in an outing accident in Tanay involving students of a college in Quezon City, the knee jerk reactions were:

     1.  To have a congressman conduct a dialogue with parents

     2. CHED orders schools to stop outing and all gimmicks

     3.  Sumasawsaw din ang LFTRB for schools to get clearance from them for outing

 Everybody knows that the outings are revenue generator for the school, and is necessary for the rapid learning of the students.  However, we must be aware of the risk.

I think it is best to stop the outings especially to places with steep grades (like in Mataas na Kahoy in Batangas, Sampaloc in Tanay and many more. The deaths could have been avoided.

But these are accidents and accidents do happen;  people die.  Let us stop the circus when peoples lives are lost if only to get media mileage and attention
