MAYOR Abigail Binay on Saturday ordered the Makati City police to fully investigate the incident involving a purportedly bipolar woman who wildly drove her yellow car, hitting people and vehicles at Rockwell Center Friday night.
“Mayor Abby has ordered the chief of police to submit a thorough incident report on the matter to allay the fears of the public,” said lawyer Michael Arthur Camina, city chief legal officer and spokesperson of Binay.
While the people hit in the incident supposedly agreed to a monetary settlement for their injuries, Camina said the mayor instructed the Department of Engineering and Public Works to assess if there is damage to public property.
As of Saturday, no charges has been filed by the Makati City Police against Jamie Camille Lee Brojan, the driver of the Kia Picanto involved in a melee with security personnel of the compound.
Parents of the 28-year-old Brojan, a resident of San Juan City, claimed their daughter is bipolar.
A video of the incident uploaded on Facebook went viral and got more than 20,000 shares. It shows the car hitting other vehicles, motorcycles and people in an attempt to flee Rockwell security officers, who caught up to her after a brief chase.
ABS-CBN news reports that Brojan was only flagged down by Rockwell security personnel due to illegal parking. The woman also claimed that she panicked after she was chased and mobbed by Rockwell marshals.
