ZAMBOANGA CITY – Two people were killed and over 2 dozen others injured when a car collided head on with a passenger bus on Sunday in the southern Philippine province of Zamboanga Sibugay, police said.
Police said the car was being driven by Arquiza Escosio, 29. He and his passenger, Emeryl Baird, 29, were both killed in the accident in Tungawan town.
