At Pasay City HallI actually went to my very first case hearing today. It's not at all like in the movies.
To begin with, Pasay City hall is horrible. Parking is extremely difficult to find; the corridors are so dark; the aircons are not properly cased and are protruding from into the already narrow corridors so it's really hot when you pass by. Then the hearing was not in a courtroom since the blasted Taxi driver who was clearly at fault did not show up.
So I had to talk about the accident like it happened; that the taxi was still far when I made the U-turn; that I signaled; that I heard the screech of the tires before we were bumped and blacked-out to later find that the car had turned 100 degrees and the right rear terribly wrecked. It's clear to the prosecutor that the Taxi driver was at fault. He even put in his statement that he was running at 60 kph which means he had all the time in the world to step on his brake, but no!. Stupid guy!
I also never thought that I'd actually see a man in handcuffs right before me. He looked scary sitting with his lawyer while waiting to be called for his hearing.
Oh well, that's that! The only funny thing was that this gay employee turned out to have a crush on Kuya. No wonder he gets really good treatment at that place.
