00:00Baka Puso, the incident of road rage went viral online.
00:04Just this week, there was an incident of road rage that happened on Barilan, Marcos Highway in Antipolo, Rizal.
00:10We also talked about it for a few days that a motorcycle rider and a driver of an SUV hit each other in the middle of the road.
00:19The SUV driver pulled the gun and the rider was shot several times.
00:25Just this past week, there was another incident of road rage that happened in Antipolo City.
00:31A motorcycle driver and an E-trike hit each other on Sumulong Highway.
00:36The road rage happened in Sagian.
00:40In Antipolo, there was another incident of road rage where a tricycle driver and a motorcycle rider hit each other.
00:49It happens every day.
00:51In Coronadal City, two tricycle drivers got into a fight because of a passenger robbery.
01:01It's like MMA.
01:03Road rage is the hot topic of discussion in this country's issue.
01:10Together with the experts, we will discuss the road rage incidents and how to avoid them.
01:16We have with us this morning, from the PNP Highway Patrol Group,
01:20Police Lieutenant Dane Malang, Public Information Officer and Spokesperson of the PNP Highway Patrol Group.
01:26Welcome sir. Good morning.
01:28Good morning sir.
01:29We also have with us the President of the Philippine Psychiatric Association, Dr. John May Perez Niparian.
01:35Doc, welcome back.
01:36Good morning. Thank you.
01:37Thank you for the opportunity.
01:38Again, this is the next incident of road rage that we are going to discuss.
01:41Do we have records?
01:43Let's start with the Lieutenant.
01:45Does the PNP have records of how many road rage incidents have occurred?
01:49At least these are the ones that are reported, right?
01:51You're right sir.
01:52Again sir, the topic of road rage is about the aggressive behavior of our drivers or our fellow countrymen.
01:59Our highway patrol group has no specific number.
02:02However, we have records from last month.
02:05This is not less than 15 numbers that were recorded by the HPG.
02:11And again, this is what the highway patrol group is working on to help the Land Transportation Office and other agencies.
02:18And whatever that number is, you are sure that there are more that are not reported, right?
02:22Yes sir.
02:24Doc, this is very common.
02:26This past week, we have been reporting road rage every day.
02:29What are the triggers of this?
02:31The triggers of this are usually if there is frustration.
02:34For example, if a driver cuts the road.
02:37Or if they are left alone on the road.
02:41But of course, there are underlying factors as well.
02:44For example, if there is an accident,
02:47or if they are left alone on the road.
02:51But of course, there are underlying factors as well.
02:54Like environmental stress.
02:55If the driver is stressed, especially if the weather is hot,
02:58traffic, or sometimes if they are hungry, dehydrated.
03:01Just having a bad day.
03:02Yes.
03:03They fought with their wives.
03:04It could be like that.
03:05Before going out.
03:06Yes.
03:07So there are many possible sources of triggers or stress.
03:11Okay.
03:12Lieutenant, under the law, what are the possible consequences of road rage on the road?
03:19What are the consequences of road rage on the road?
03:20What are the consequences of road rage on the road?
03:21Again, we are still under the so-called RA 4136.
03:25We can still enter that.
03:27Anyone who commits a crime is a reckless driver.
03:31If there is a chance of coercion or threats, we can still enter that.
03:37What other laws are there regarding our traffic laws, sir?
03:41Doc, before going home from prison,
03:45what are the permanent consequences of road rage?
03:48What can you do?
03:49How do you deal with those triggers?
03:52The emotions.
03:53So that you won't give in to your emotions.
03:56Why did you hit me?
03:58Did I hit you?
03:59You want to...
04:00Yes.
04:01How do we manage those emotions?
04:03Correct.
04:04Awareness is very important.
04:06The driver should be aware of when he will feel the frustration, rage, and anger.
04:10Usually, there are physical manifestations.
04:12He will feel like his head is aching, or like his ribs are sticking.
04:17And literally, your heart rate will increase.
04:19Your heart rate will increase, your BP.
04:21So they should be aware of the subtle changes.
04:25And of course, if that happens, the emotions will de-escalate.
04:29Because we know that when we are in a state of heightened emotions,
04:33we might be able to do or say things that we will regret later on.
04:38So you should be calm.
04:40Take deep breathing exercises immediately.
04:42It's a way of de-escalating the situation.
04:45Deep breathing means to lower your stress level.
04:49Like adrenaline.
04:51Adrenaline is high in these situations.
04:53Epinephrine, cortisol.
04:55And if necessary, express your anger.
04:58But healthier.
05:01So don't open the window.
05:03If you want to shout, shout out of frustration.
05:06Or if you need to use expletives.
05:09But don't engage.
05:11We were just talking earlier, Susan.
05:13The example of what happened in Antipolo.
05:15There was one person who was in jail, and there was one person who died.
05:18Think about that.
05:20Just a few moments that you gave to your emotions.
05:25The consequence will last a lifetime.
05:27Again, we should assess the results of our actions.
05:33Not only for ourselves, but also for our loved ones.
05:36This is a confession.
05:38I used to have similar episodes.
05:40But it helps, personally, to count.
05:43Take a few deep breaths.
05:46What you said is right.
05:47I find that it works for me.
05:49Scientifically, it helps to lower our cortisol, epinephrine, or epinephrine.
05:57Because when we are under threat,
05:59when we have frustrations,
06:01it activates the fight, or flight, or please response.
06:04It's better if we don't fight.
06:06So it's better if we express our emotions in a healthier way.
06:09Our men,
06:12if their macho behavior is threatened,
06:16they won't allow it.
06:18There are records of your tour dates
06:20where a lot of our men are involved in these kinds of activities.
06:26Lieutenant, in the case of road rage,
06:28when you were caught by the PNP,
06:30you were the one who encountered the person who was angry.
06:33You were the one who was rebelling.
06:35How can we avoid this situation?
06:37How do you react?
06:39Again, we should assess the situation.
06:42First of all, we should calm ourselves.
06:45So that we can know what actions and plans we can take.
06:50If there are instances where our own rights were violated,
06:54we can ask for help from the hotline
06:57so that the PNP or the highway patrol group can provide assistance.
07:03Doc, for example, if you are with a vehicle that is violent,
07:07how can you calm it down?
07:10The role of the navigator, the passenger, is very crucial.
07:14Number one, he should validate.
07:17You should also validate the driver's emotions.
07:19Yes, it's frustrating,
07:21but he should really calm down.
07:24That's why it's very crucial not to add to the tension,
07:28the feelings, the emotions,
07:30the tension there.
07:32So he should calm down.
07:34Let's just let him be.
07:36Let's remember that we still need to go home safely
07:38to our family, to our children.
07:40Let it be a motivation.
07:42Safety is our priority when we are on the road.
07:45And we have loved ones who will go home.
07:48We should always be safe.
07:50Lieutenant, do you have a final word?
07:53Especially now that we have road accidents every day.
07:56Do you have a message for our motorists?
07:58Again, Sir Ivan,
08:00the role of the highway patrol group is to bring and leave a long apology.
08:06Especially when we are on the road.
08:09Again, Doc was right.
08:11Safety is the best option.
08:13We should always think about
08:15what will happen.
08:19We should always think that we have families
08:21and that we should go home safely
08:23and that we should not let our emotions
08:25affect our situation.
08:27Doc, final word from you.
08:29Yes, I agree. Safety is always the priority.
08:31Let's remember the motivation.
08:33Let's just be safe.
08:35We have loved ones who need to go home.
08:37And it's always better.
08:39I still believe in spirituality.
08:41When we are on the road,
08:43as a pedestrian motorist,
08:45let's just pray that everyone is safe
08:47so that we can all
08:50continue our activities for the day.
08:52Well said.
08:54Thank you, Police Lieutenant Nadeem Malang
08:56and Dr. Johan May Perez-Riparial.
09:00And we will discuss
09:02and answer
09:04the issues of the city.
