CEBU CITY, Philippines — Police in Cebu is reminding the public to be extra careful when driving along the Transcentral Highway (TCH), especially if they are not familiar with the thoroughfare.

Police Major Glenn Hife, chief of Balamban Police Station, made this reminder after he noted five vehicular accidents in Barangay Cansomoroy, Balamban, Cebu, in just two weeks, or from November 1 to 15, 2022. These accidents involved six individuals and resulted to one death.The victim was identified as Jason Sayson, 24, a resident of Barangay Babag, Cebu City. He worked at a private hospital in Cebu City, which is approximately 52 kilometers east of Balamban town via the TCH.

Sayson was with his girlfriend, Ma. Catrina Tampus, a native of Ormoc City, who was also his workmate. Hife said that the two were onboard their motorcycle when its brakes allegedly malfunctioned while going downhill in Cansomoroy. The driver reportedly lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a cliff.“Daghan gyud mahitabo dinha kay although lapad ang dalan diha, og gikan kag Cebu City or Barangay Gas, dulhugon man gud na siya. Possible nga dili familiar kay kusog man ang dagan,”Hife suggested that drivers use different techniques when braking in that area, such as using engine braking.

“Magdulhog gani anang mga lugara, mag second gear gyud para muhinay ang dagan. Pinugngan ba. Basically, drive safely gyud ta. Much better kung mu drive, careful ta, di magpakusog. Kasagaran man gud self inflicted so careless gyud,”In October, Hife said that a total of eight accidents happened along TCH in Balamban. Again, the areas where these accidents happen are in Barangays Gaas, Sunog, and Cansomoroy.
