Acclaimed director Adolfo Alix Jr. shared details of a near-death experience after being involved in a pedestrian accident at 5:45 AM on July 14 along Abacan Diversion Road in Barangay Balibago, Angeles City.

Taking to social media, the filmmaker expressed gratitude for surviving the incident. “Still processing everything, but today, I am just overwhelmingly grateful to be alive,” he wrote.


He then recalled how the accident unfolded. “Yesterday morning, July 14, at around 5:45 AM, I was involved in a terrifying pedestrian accident along Abacan Diversion Road,” he said.

According to Alix, the impact of the collision was so strong that he was thrown into the air after hitting the vehicle’s windshield.

“The impact was so strong that I slammed into the windshield, was thrown into the air, and took a hard hit to my right side. Facing a near-death experience like that puts absolutely everything into perspective. It is a true miracle that I survived being hit,” he shared.

The award-winning director also credited his survival to his faith. “God is our miracle worker, and I am thanking Him for giving me a second chance at life,” he added.

Despite the traumatic experience, Alix said he is choosing to focus on gratitude, thanking those who immediately came to his aid.

“My main message today is just pure gratitude. A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who assisted me at the scene and to those who helped handle the police reporting so I could focus on recovering and finish my work yesterday.”

He ended his post with a reminder to cherish loved ones and appreciate every moment.

“Hug your loved ones a little tighter today. Life is fragile, unpredictable, and so, so precious. Please pray for my swift recovery. Thank you for all the messages.”
