Nadine Lustre and designer Rajo Laurel couldn’t contain their anger at the Paranaque hit-and-run incident that took the life of an ageing street sweeper.
On September 24, TV Patrol reported a sports utility vehicle running over a female street sweeper inside BF Homes in Paranaque City.
The footage shows the car crushing the street sweeper twice before fleeing the scene. Authorities have since caught the driver, but his/her name hasn’t been made public.
Meanwhile, 63-year-old Doreen Bacus has been suffering gravely from the accident. Her death angered netizens, including Lustre and Laurel.
The actress is eager to be updated on the situation. She also doesn’t buy the driver’s excuse of not seeing the street sweeper because he/she was on his/her phone.
Our justice system is so flawed we don’t even know if this issue will be handled accordingly.
Naiiyak talaga ako para kay lola at sa pamilya niya.— Nadine Lustre (@hello_nadine) September 25, 2022
Lustre is also unsure if Bacus will be given justice given how things work in the country. She deleted her retweet of the incident’s footage because it frustrates her that much.
I deleted my tweet with the vid.
Just realized that it’s very triggering.— Nadine Lustre (@hello_nadine) September 25, 2022
She initially reacted to Laurel’s tweet containing the video.

Laurel has been helping update netizens on Bacus’ state. It was previously said that she died from the injuries, but an immediate family member denied the claim.

Bacus is mainly suffering from a broken skull.

Netizens also do not understand why the driver kept accelerating despite bumping into Bacus.
Lahat naman tayo nagkakamali. Ang importante alamin Kung papaano natin Maitawad, magagampanan, maiayos , maituwid, maitama Ito.
