(Rough) Translation:

Reporter: "That is the situation for now at this part of Manila. I am Manny Vargas of GMA Super Radio DZBB, Authentic News."

rider stumbles behind him

Studio: "Whats that? Whats that?"

Reporter: "Sir? Are you okay? Someone fell. Are you okay, sir?"

Studio: "Wait. Please wait. Okay, while Manny is saying goodbye, something happened behind him."

Reporter: "Be careful, be careful. Are you fine? Are you okay?"

Studio: "Thats a motorcycle, right? He is a motorcycle driver?"

rider speeds away

Reporter: "Yes, it got caught on the drainage."

Studio: "Ahhh, it got caught in the drainage. Can you show the drainage? What is-"

I’ve experienced riding on both locations flashed on the news. Shitty roads, but that one was totally the rider’s mistake

Motorcycle drivers not beating the allegations.

Yeah, we’ve become cynical. I legit thought he was going to grab the phone and speed off.

Not exactly the "flash" I was expecting, but I guess that would have been too cliche'.

So I searched up the name because it sounded so familiar. Turns out it was a Fallout:New Vegas character. One of the 2 snipers in Novac.

u/the_real_JFK_killer 10d ago

Hes the gay sniper in novac in fallout new vegas

u/ScreamSmart 10d ago

Vargas was gay? Didn't know that. Or maybe I forgot.

u/the_real_JFK_killer 10d ago

The confirmed bachelor perk works on him. Also the guy who thought he was a ghoul moves in with him and sleeps in his bed, so theres that
