A woman who was injured after she was hit by a car while she was crossing at the pedestrian in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) has expressed frustration over a settlement agreement she unknowingly signed.
Nicole Mercado was struck by a car on November 6th while crossing an intersection in BGC. The incident, captured on video and widely shared online, has sparked public outrage.
Mercado claims she was pressured into signing a settlement agreement without fully understanding its implications. She feels the offered compensation is inadequate, given the physical and emotional trauma she has endured.

"Ibinalita na nagpa-areglo daw ako. Hindi ko naman gusto magpa-areglo talaga sadyang hindi ko na lang alam kung ano pinapasulat nila sa akin sa traffic bureau dahil wala na ako sa sarili. Hindi ko alam na kasunduang areglo na pala iyon. Sobrang unfair lang kasi ayaw mag compensate ng maayos nung driver."
She added, "Ayaw bayaran ang mga araw na hindi ko maipapasok sa work. Grabeng emotional trauma at physical pain ang napala ko sa nangyari. Baka hindi na rin ako makakatuloy pa sa pagta-trabaho sa bgc dahil na-trauma ako at hindi ko na kaya bumalik. Sobrang unfair talaga at ang gulo ng justice system sa Pilipinas."

The victim is concerned about the potential long-term impact of the accident, including the possibility of having to leave her job in BGC due to ongoing trauma.
"Sobrang
sakit pa rin sakin makita itong video. Nati-trigger ako at bumabalik
sakin 'yung traumatic na naranasan ko. Hindi ko alam kung makakaahon pa
ako sa nangyaring ito."
Many online commenters have urged Mercado to pursue legal action against the driver responsible for the accident.
