Comedian Tado or Arvin Jimenez in real life was among the 14 dead on a bus accident at Banaue-Bontoc road in Sitio Panggang, Baranggaay Talubin, Bontoc, around 7:20 in the morning.

Jimenez was one of 45 passengers on board the Florida bus with plate number TXT 872 said Bontoc police chief Senior Inspector Benjamin Chaloy.

The tourist bus fell on the 500-meters deep cliff that instantly killed 14 passengers and injuring 31 others.

The 31 injured was rushed on the Bontoc General Hospital according to authorities.

The deputy provincial police commander, Ramir Saculles, said disfigured corpses were scaterred along the hillside, while some dead bodies fell into rice paddies at the bottom of the hill.

The cause of the accident was theorized to be a mechanical failure or a driver's fault as authorities cannot consider a slippery road because the weather is fine on that Friday morning.

Just before the bus departed from its Sampaloc, Manila station, Tado took a photo shot on it and uploaded it on his instagram account.

"Long trip, as in trip trip." - the instagram post said.

With this breaking news, several hashtags trended on twitter Philippines including "#RIPTado," "Bontoc," and "Strangebrew".

Below is a screen capture from microblogging site twitter.com as of 9 in the evening, the day Tado died.

Tado was last seen on the movie My Little Bossings. He is 39 years old.
