Snippet:
I am the owner and driver of a Transportation Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) vehicle registered in the Philippines. During one of my trips, I accidentally sideswiped a pedestrian crossing the street, causing the pedestrian to suffer a fracture in his left foot. Traffic law enforcers from the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) required me to undergo alcohol and chemical testing, which I refused to take.
