Since the start of the school year, only four cell phones have been reported lost in the APS. Two were misplaced by Law students in October and another two by Graduate School of Business students in November. All were returned to their owners.

TRAFFIC: Accidents continue to happen in Katipunan. Reckless drivers continue to be a threat along Katipunan.

10:22 p.m. Tuesday, 4 December: This is a familiar situation where irresponsible drivers would come from the service road in front of Prince David condominium and cut across Katipunan to the U-turn under the Gate 2.5 footbridge. A southbound sedan hit the taxi that darted across Katipunan.

3:35 p.m. Wednesday, 5 December: A container truck sideswiped a motorcyclist near Gate 3.5. The truck driver was not aware that he had hit the motorcycle. He was stopped by MMDA personnel in front of Miriam College Gate 1. The victim was hurt and had to be rushed to the hospital.

9:45 a.m. Saturday, 8 December: An LS student driving a pick-up truck was hit by a passenger jeep near Sta. Clara church. The vehicle was damaged, and fortunately the student sustained no injuries. Campus security assisted the student at the scene of the accident and at Camp Karingal where both parties were taken.

7:30 p.m. Sunday, 9 December: The driver of a Honda scooter rammed the center island in front of
Gate 3 and hurt himself. The area has been the scene of many accidents as drivers tend to take the inner lane not realizing that there is a center island on that lane. The driver was assisted by campus security and the PNP. He was taken to the hospital by LHTODA tricycle 086.

Accidents on Campus: On campus, accidents are minor unlike those in Katipunan. However, accidents can cause major inconvenience because they block traffic flow. Last Friday, 7 December an accident happened at the junction of University Road and Auxiliary Road towards Gate 3.5 at 4:40 p.m. during the rush hour.

A sedan and a van literally blocked access to Gate 3.5. The parties involved insisted on waiting for the investigator from Camp Karingal rather than move their vehicles. The bottleneck limited access to Gate 3.5 to a single lane. It took an hour and a half for traffic to clear in the area.

MAINTENANCE: Patching of potholes on campus roads is a continuing project.
Lower East carpark Wednesday 5 December.
JGSOM Mall road patching.
JGSOM Mall road to diversion road.
