Teacher dies saving student
BACOLOD CITY – A teacher died while saving his student from being run over by a church bus in Sagay City, Negros Occidental, at about 4 p.m. Thursday.
Cesar Quinto Jr., died when he was hit by the bus driven by Ephraim Suarez in Barangay Paraiso, Sagay, the city police said.
Quinto, a teacher at the Holy Family School, had managed to push the student to the side of the road before the bus, owned by the Open Door Baptist Church, hit him instead, the police said.
Suarez surrendered to the police shortly after the accident, while the pastor of the church, Jonathan Arellano, blamed the accident on the bad condition of the road.
Residents and employees of the sugar central in the area, in a TV interview, also complained about the dilapidated road even as they noted that several accidents had already happened there.
