Before his demise, Moto vlogger John Arguelles could be seen unconscious after his Superman motorcycle stunt along the Marilaque Highway in Tanay, Rizal, last weekend gone wrong.

However, Arguelles eventually succumbed to his injuries, which some netizens blamed on a woman who volunteered to give first aid to the moto vlogger.

In a video taken just before the aftermath of the Superman stunt, Arguelles could be seen lying on the road when some people tried to check his condition.

Several moments later, a woman could be heard asking the crowd not to touch Arguelles and introduced herself as a nurse.

“Nurse ako! Wag niyong galawin,” the woman said.

They also removed Arguelles’ helmet and tapped him several times in an attempt to wake him up.

However, several netizens and even medical personnel criticized the woman’s acts and even questioned if she was a nurse.

Netizens pointed out that the woman was wrong for removing the helmet of Arguelles and even her decision to force the rider to sit.

“The goal is to stabilize the patient by immobilizing him and not allow unnecessary spine movements. Make sure his airways are open and monitor his vital signs,” netizen Ronaldo said.

“A concern arises regarding her decision to move and seat the victim, which may not have been the most appropriate action. In trauma situations, especially those involving potential spinal or internal injuries, it is generally advised to minimize movement until trained medical personnel arrive,” netizen Ruel commented.

Meanwhile, Arguelles’ colleague, Recs Akmad, who remained still after the incident, survived.

The camp of the rider who went viral on social media after his disastrous motorcycle stunt at Marilaque Highway in Tanay, Rizal, confirmed that they reached a settlement with the people involved in the incident.

It can be recalled that Recs Akmad, one of the motorcycle riders who performed a Superman stunt last weekend in Marilaque, was facing multiple charges for his stunt, which resulted in the demise of his friend and moto vlogger John Arguelles and several bystanders.

In a Facebook post, Akmad’s group mate, Harold Aratan, confirmed that the rider already settled with the family of Arguelles and others involved in the incident.

“And to all the friends and those who are concerned about the accident that happened in Marilaque, particularly in Manukan, we ask for everyone’s patience, and to those who have been hurt, we have reached an agreement with the victims and settled everything at the Tanay police station, thank you for understanding,” said Aratan.

Akmad also released a public apology to reaffirm the settlement between him and Arguelles’s family.

“Magandang Araw po sa inyong lahat Ako po ay lubos na humihingi ng paumanhin sa nangyare tao lang din po nagkakamali at lilinawin ko lang po na okay na po kami dun sa pamilya ni MOTOPUSH humingi na rin Po Ako ng tawad sa pamilya nya masakit din po para sa akin ang nangyare pakiusap lang din po tigil nyo na rin po ang panghuhusa kay MOTOPUSH bilang respeto na rin po sa pamilya nya,” he said.

As part of the settlement, Akmad vowed to shoulder all the funeral expenses of Arguelles, and also the hospitalization and medication of the other parties involved.

However, reaching an agreement doesn’t mean Akmad was already free from his criminal liability, as it only removed the suspect’s civil liability.

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Tuesday confirmed that Akmad would face both criminal and administrative charges for his role in the incident.

The rider who went viral on social media after doing a dangerous motorcycle stunt along the Marilaque Highway in Rizal finally ended his silence amid the criticism he was receiving.

In his post, Recs Akmad refused to apologize for his actions, saying that the criticism he was receiving on social media would only increase his views.

“Thank you sa mga basher, dumami views ko,” Akmad said.

In another post, Akmad said that he was not affected by the criticism he received because most people didn’t know the whole story of the incident, even if the whole scene was recorded and publicized on social media.

“Ubusin nyo na lahat ng pang bash nyo wala naman kayong ambag sa buhay ko hindi nyo naman alam ang tunay na nang yare kaya ubusin niyo na pang bash niyo,” he said.

It can be recalled that Akmad was one of the motorcycle riders who performed the ‘Superman stunt’ while speeding along Marilaque.

The video published on social media showed that Akmad remained in his Superman position despite the sharp curve approaching.

Meanwhile, his colleague, Moto Vlogger John Louie “Motopush” Arguelles, was sideswiped by Akmad, resulting in them ramming the road barrier and some tourists resting in the area.

Arguelles passed away after several attempts to be treated.

Akmad was reportedly facing multiple charges for the outcome of his stunt.

Netizens were disappointed by Akmad’s unapologetic behavior.

“Imbes na humingi ka ng paumanhin at nag pakumbaba, pinairal mo pa pride mo. Kung sinabi mo sana na wag kang tularan sa pagiging bida bida at inamin ang pagkakamali mo, baka maaring matanggap ka pa ng iba. Hindi ka mababash kung hindi mo ginawa yon,” a netizen said.

“Ibig sabihin po ba nun ay edited lang po yung viral vids nyo sa manukan? Linawin nyo po yung tunay na nangyari, baka nahihibang po kaming lahat,” another netizen commented.

Despite the criticism he received on social media, rider Rico Akmad, also known as ‘Recs’ in the rider community, still gained support from his colleagues.

On his Facebook page, Akmad received well-wishes from his friends after he was hospitalized for doing a dangerous stunt along the Marilaque Highway in Rizal, which resulted in the loss of one life and multiple injuries.

“Pagaling ka Recs Akmad,” some of his friends posted on the rider’s timeline.

It can be recalled that Akmad was being blamed for not stopping his dangerous stunt despite the approaching curve, which resulted in him losing control and sideswiping the Moto vlogger John Louie “Motopush” Arguelles.

Known for his motorcycle stunts

Even in the past, Akmad was already known to the people visiting Marilaque as he was often doing motorcycle stunts every time he got a chance.

In his past post, he talked about cornering in the sharp curves of Marilaque and also doing the Superman stunt, which eventually resulted in the unfortunate incident.

“Hindi talaga maka banking ng sagad pag naka rim set at lowerd kaya sumasayad pero sumasabay parin naka superman pa [laugh and evil emoji]” he said.

Akmad reportedly faced multiple charges that may cost him a lot of money.
