On Robert Blair Carabuena
To those unfamiliar with the case, Robert Blair Carabuena was caught on a cellphone video manhandling (or bullying, as ABS-CBN News put it) Saturnino Fabros, an officer of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in Tandang Sora, Quezon City. Carabuena is reportedly an Ateneo de Manila University alumnus with a high-position in Philip Morris.
The incident happened last August 11 but it has not received immediate media attention because of tropical storm Helen. Aside from facing direct assault charges from Fabros’ camp, some Filipinos have launched an online petition asking Philip Morris to fire Carabuena. The petition, whose initial signatories include journalist Ellen Tordesillas and University of the Philippines professor Prospero de Vera, can be accessed here.
The circumstances leading to the apparent attack on Fabros remain unclear. Quoting sources from the Carabuena camp, ABS-CBN TV host Bianca Gonzales said that Fabros allegedly hit the former’s car while cursing in the process. The Carabuena-Fabros tussle has easily become the most-talked about road rage incident in the Philippines since Jason Ivler made headlines back in 2009 to 2010 for killing two fellow motorists on separate instances.
The “relationship” of humans with their cars is one area that has been the subject of many scientific researches in recent years especially in the United States. Dan Ariely, a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University in North Carolina, USA, said: “As soon as we acquire something we start to develop an attachment to it,” adding that “the sheer fact of ownership” increases how much we value objects.
Although Ariely did not explicitly say it, it can be assumed that the value we attach to an object is directly related to the amount we spent to acquire it. Some car types can be as expensive as a brand new house, and therefore, it is no surprise that some drivers react violently whenever another motorist (or just anyone) hits his or her car, especially if it results in visible damages. Could this be the main trigger of Carabuena’s road rage?
PS: Perplexed with the rising cases of deaths due to vehicular accidents, the Vatican issued in 2007 the so-called “Ten Commandments” for drivers. Below, I have highlighted those edicts can be a good help in preventing future road rages:
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
MUST READ: Sociology professor Michael Kearl (from Texas’ Trinity University) has a wonderful piece titled “The social psychology of driving.” The article explains why some drivers act as if they own all the roads.

“you’re career…” lol!
POOR PIG!SHIT KA! BAHO MO BABOY KA!PICTURE MO PANGIT MUKHANG ADIK.BANGAG KA PWE!
Para kang litson na binigyan ng parol ha?..nakakawala ka pa hayup ka Carabuena?..next time alis na ang balat mo lahat Baboy!!!!
Pinipilit ng ama ni Carabuena na nauna DAW nanggulo ang MMDA enforcer! NAUNA daw?????? Parang katangahan yun sa parte ng ama ni Taba. Ang anak niya ang unang naggulo at nag-violate siya ng traffic rules! Hindi niya sinunod ang enforcer nung pinahinto na siya! Parang gago talaga yung tatay ni Taba! Ang anak niyang batchoy ang UINANG NGGULO! Pinahinto na e tuloy-tuloy pa din ng takbo, mayabang at gago yang mag-amang yan!
kapangit pangit mo naman pala, daig mo pa mga goons sa kapangitan. may girlfriend ka rin pala, nadala ba yan ng kotse mo. Kawawa naman yang katabi mo. Ms. Girlfriend, payo lang sau mag isip isip ka, baka later on ikaw na bugbugin nyang BABOY na KATABI MO.

BABOY BABOY BABOY BABOY BABOY

Dapat sa nanay at mga kapatid mong babae pinaparape sa aso eh..

paging Black Ribbon, pakibigyan c Robert Blair Carabuena, tignan natin kung matapang talaga . . .
What he thinks being an HR executive…..Fuck up job! Your not even part of higher management! You are such an idiot to do that! and assault a poor guy! This is yours men,,,,shame on you! Most of your photos are made in Singapore, try to that in SG then you will see! blady bastard! I will Piang you….
Death from afar. A sniper lurks. Father and son will be dealt with accordingly. Abuse and ignorance are inhumane traits that merit the full force of eradication. When they least expect it their lives will be eliminated. Enough said. Goodbye Carabuena’s. I hope you’ll both enjoy your afterlives.
Malas mo tukayo! Sana walang nakapag-video ng ginawa mo, OK na OK sana feeling nakaisa ka na naman sa kapwa. Di bale tukayo, kapag may malas, may buenas rin, di ba? Hayaan mo, sa dami ng naghahanap sa iyo para ipaghiganti si pareng Saturnino, siguradong may suswertihin isa sa mga araw na ito.
Road rage does not arise because of one’s attachment to his/her car, at least not on my part. It’s because other people, in my mind, are stupid.
Robert Blair Carabuena, bilang na araw mo BABOY!
magtago ka na asshole!
Putang ina mo Carabuena!
Ipapapatay kita gago!

Ang PANGIT pala talaga.. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
kamukha at kasing arogante ni martin nievera!
For those who are too quick to comment with too much anger, kindly hold back and think about it more deeper – aren’t we all sometimes tempted to do what the Philip Morris employee did? There is really ‘this something’ in driving that brings the best and worst in all drivers. I honestly admit this and I say self-control should always be in check everytime anyone touches the wheel.
Therefore, in the case of the PM employee, he should have never done it – not just because he is blessed enough to be an ‘executive of a multi-national company and an Atenean’ but also there is really no excuse for such manner. However, just in EDSA alone, how many events like this happens everyday? A driver against an enforcer, pedestrian/passenger or another driver? Some people even get killed by traffic altercations……just because for a very brief time, they lost ‘it’ – their self control. So let me share this simple awareness if it could help anyone who goes out there on the road – ANYTIME YOU HAVE TROUBLE WHILE ON THE ROAD, MAKE IT BRING OUT THE BETTER IN YOU. IF YOU CAN’T, JUST LET IT GO. Doing so makes it an insignificant event in your daily routine which you’ll just forget later on. Or of course, you can do Rambo and be an overnight national whipping boy when somebody caught you with one of the 2 million camera phones out there.
As it is, this is just one of the human weaknesses that was fortunately caught in camera. There are more hideous things that happens everyday which aren’t seen or caught yet which deserve far more angry responses than this one. Just ask your mayor, for one.
Peace.
Thank you for that very illuminating and educational comment..
pabati po 🙂
Whenever this fucktard steps out in public, people should kick him in his fucking crotch douse him in fucking gasoline and set his motherfucking shitfuck face on fire. Then, people should kick his fucking head till it snaps out of his fucking pig neck

We call people we don’t like as baboy, bwaya, animal etc. as if these are the characteristics of the animals we associate them with. We call overweight people, messy and smelly people as baboy, but have we ever thought that pigs become fat because we caged them and feed them to make them fat? We caged them in a small space, so where do we expect them to urinate and take a crap? We call corrupt politicians and public officials as bwaya for being greedy, but have we ever thought that crocodiles can go without food for weeks or even months, while corrupt officials can go on a rampage with out hard earned taxes. So, call people you don’t like “#$%^&%*()=@ Taong Ugali Talaga!”

Carabuena is a f@#$%&@ jerk. He should come here to LA and try to slap an LAPD officer … let’s see how fearless and arrogant he is. If he does it here, they’ll haul his ass off to jail no matter what he says or thinks he is. And if you think he’s an a-hole, read what his dad said (he actually defends his son’s idiotic action). I guess stupid runs in the family tree. Pisses me off that morons like him give Ateneo a bad rap (I’m an Atenean).
fuck shit ateneo who cares if ur a grad of ateneo this guy is a moron wang wang mentality, punta ka dito sa canada at hampasin ko mukha mo ng baseball bat

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
