ACCORDING to a recent article, the PNP Highway Patrol recorded 15,572 road accidents in 2014. This is an average of just over 42 a day throughout the whole of the Philippines. There were 1,252 deaths caused in these accidents. The number of accidents seems a bit on the understated side to me, but I guess the number doesn’t include the minor bumps that happen, which cause negligible damage but which manage to so frequently upset people and block up the road and traffic flow.
