At least 20 pilgrims including a 5-month old baby were killed in a bus accident, on Christmas Day in northern Philippines.
Police said the vehicle, carrying pilgrims on their way to a church, drove into an opposite lane of a highway to overtake other vehicles.
Although the driver of the bus conveying the pilgrims applied brakes, it was not enough to avoid a collision.
Under Philippines law, the bus driver could face charges of reckless imprudence, which carries a sentence of up to six years.
