Caminero to go under the knife

CEBU, Philippines - Provincial Board Member Aladin Wilyamie Caminero, Sangguniang Kabataan Federation president, will undergo an operation for bone fractures tomorrow following a road accident last Friday.

The result of the Computerized Tomography (CT)-scan however reveals that he suffered no serious head injury, according to his father, PB Member Wilfredo "Willy" Caminero.

The young Caminero, though, remains at the Intensive Care Unit. Willy said his son is already conscious and spoke a few words after gaining back his consciousness.

 Although it would take time for Aladin to recuperate considering the severe injuries the young provincial legislator has suffered from the crash.

Aladin figured in vehicular accident at the national highway of Barangay Binlod, Argao last Friday morning.

He was driving a family-owned Ford Everest with his three friends on board from Barangay Poblacion to Barangay Taloot when he accidentally sideswept 13-year-old Christian Zamora who was walking along the road.

Aladin swerved right, hitting a Hyundai Starex driven by 41-year-old Celrick Paul Redoña of Peace Valley, Lahug, Cebu City who was about to park the vehicle at their garage.

The impact caused the Ford Everest to fall on its side and hit a tree, causing injuries to Aladin and his friends.

The three friends of Aladin also suffered bone fractures and contusions.

They are Michael Vincent Mansueto, 22; Joeal Mendoza, 22, all of Barangay Poblacion, Argao and Clint Bryan Pelayo, 26, of Barangay Lamacan. —FPL (FREEMAN)
