The family of a tricycle driver who died after being struck by a trailer truck in April has taken the legal battle to court, filing a civil case for damages against the truck driver and the logistics company that allegedly employed him after an earlier settlement agreement reportedly went unfulfilled. The complaint, filed by Josefa Arcilla Estigoy, sister of the late Jerry Zantua Arcilla, asks the court to hold Kernel Hector E. Macapagal and Aim High Philippines Logistics Inc. jointly liable for actual, moral, and litigation damages stemming from the fatal road crash. Court records showed that Arcilla was driving his tricycle in Olongapo City on April 23, 2026, when it was allegedly hit by a trailer truck bearing license plate NLF 6023, which was reportedly being driven by Macapagal. Arcilla was rushed to James L. Gordon Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment but later succumbed to a traumatic brain injury sustained in the collision. According to the complaint, Macapagal signed an Affidavit of Undertaking on April 24, 2026, a day after the accident, in which he allegedly promised to shoulder the expenses related to the victim's death. Relying on that commitment, Estigoy signed an Affidavit of Settlement, indicating that she would no longer pursue legal action against the driver. However, the family alleged that Macapagal failed to comply with the terms of the undertaking, leaving them with no choice but to seek compensation through the courts. The complaint also seeks to hold Aim High Philippines Logistics Inc. liable, identifying the firm as Macapagal's employer and the owner or lessee of the truck involved in the crash. It argues that the company should be held accountable under the legal doctrine of vicarious liability, or respondeat superior, since the driver was allegedly acting within the scope of his employment when the incident occurred. Estigoy is asking the court to award P221,000 in actual damages to reimburse hospital expenses, funeral and burial costs, and other expenditures incurred by the family. She is also seeking no less than P200,000 in moral damages, claiming the sudden loss of her brother caused profound grief, emotional suffering, anxiety, and sleepless nights. In addition, the complaint requests P50,000 in attorney's fees, P3,000 in appearance fees for every court hearing, and reimbursement of other litigation-related expenses. Before filing the lawsuit, the family said it sent a formal demand letter to both Macapagal and Aim High Philippines Logistics Inc., but allegedly received no response. As of this writing, neither Kernel Hector E. Macapagal nor Aim High Philippines Logistics Inc., which has been reported to be owned by the Maningding family, has issued a public statement addressing the allegations contained in the civil complaint.
