The Isarog and Ang Isarog, the official English and Filipino student publications of Camarines Sur National High School, along with the CSNHS Supreme Secondary Learner Government, echo the community’s call for justice for Junior High School teacher Jao Francis P. Mancera, who lost his life in a tragic road accident this weekend.
As representatives of the CSNHS student body, our hearts go out to Sir Jao’s family, friends, colleagues, and students as they go through this difficult time. We kindly ask everyone to approach this incident with sensitivity, compassion, and respect for those who are grieving.
In this fight for justice, we call on authorities to be impartial in investigating this case, regardless of the background of the driver involved.
We strongly condemn attempts and narratives to place the blame on the victim. In light of this, we sincerely hope that those entrusted with ensuring the safety of the community will not turn a blind eye to the truth.
Sir Jao is not the first to lose his life in a road accident, but we believe that authorities and government institutions have both the power and the responsibility to help prevent tragedies like these.
We implore our local government to implement stricter road safety measures, especially during late hours when drivers are, in the words of a police officer, “complacent” on the road. While roads may be clearer at night, traffic safety rules must be strictly enforced around the clock to protect motorists, pedestrians, and all road users.
We stand in solidarity with his loved ones during this time of profound grief, and we will not rest until justice is served.
Justice for Sir Jao means safety for every Nagueño.
