If it weren’t for the seatbelt, the country would have lost one of its most talented singers last March 2010.

Ronnie Liang, the singer behind hit songs “Ngiti” and “Gusto Kita,” figured in a vehicular accident in Palawan three months ago, which left several people injured.

The “Pinoy Dream Academy” graduate was sleeping on his way to a miting de avance when he was awakened by yells of his co-passengers just before their vehicle rammed to the side of the mountain.

Sensing trouble beforehand due to the driver’s incessant over-speeding, Liang had already buckled up; saving himself from what could be a career-ending accident.

Join Ronnie Liang as he recounts his horrifying experience to Ces Oreña-Drilon on “I Survived” this Thursday (June 17), after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN.
