Eagle Riggs to file complaint against motorcycle driver.
TV host/actor Michael Pangilinan Riggs, or popularly known as Eagle Riggs, is recovering in the hospital after being hit by a motorcycle in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
According to a report by Palawan News on Monday, August 19, the former Unang Hirit host sustained injuries after a motorcycle hit him while crossing Rizal Avenue Extension in front of Ka Inato, Barangay Bancao-Bancao. The motorcycle was reportedly driven by construction worker named Rey Vincent A. Pacaldo.
Eagle was first brought to the Ospital ng Palawan (ONP) for some medical treatment and was later transferred to the Cooperative Hospital for an operation to treat his right leg.
Eagle visited Palawan on August 14 to do some shows.
In his interview with Palawan News, he wants the suspect Placado to shoulder his medical expenses.
“Kailangan sila ang mag-shoulder ng expenses ko dito kasi 'yong sa akin, wala akong pera.
“'Yong show ko sa Tataboom, gratis 'yon because the owner is a good friend of mine.
“Ang gusto kong mangyari ay bayaran niya 'yong hospitalization ko.”
Riggs added that he intends to file a complaint against the motorcycle driver to serve as a lesson to everyone.
