Karen Davila asked the public for help for a 63-year-old female street sweeper who suffered severe injuries after she was hit and was run over by a sports utility vehicle (SUV) in Parañaque.

“Sharing this as it happened at 5:30 a.m. today, Sept. 24, 2022, in our BF Homes Parañaque Community. Atrocities like this need to stop and the victim, lola (grandmother) Doreen, needs our help,” Davila said. “This is so evil!”

“Let’s please help her as she has a broken skull and is fighting for her life at the hospital,” she stated, while showing a photo of Bacus with bruises on her eye and cheek, and appearing unconscious, lying down on the ground. The image also showed the number where those who wish to help may send aid (GCash via Mild Bacus, 09169951214). Davila assured the public that the “number [and] receiver are legit.”
