CEBU, Philippines - A lending collector died Tuesday afternoon after he was hit by a bus while driving his motorcycle along the national highway in Barangay Liloan, Santander.
Gilbert Bugay, 23, of Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental suffered severe injuries when his motorcycle reportedly crashed into a Ceres bus he was tailing from Samboan town.
