kadaghan ba diay ug angay hilakan sa ato karong panahona, o propensity ra ba kaha ni sa atong media nga mas mo-focus ug sensational o bad news kay mas basahon.  di gyod tawon pasar nila ang news sama sa dalan nga bag-ong giespalto, etc.  mao bitaw nga reklamo si pnoy nganong wa gyod ma-news nga dako kaayong kantidad nga bilyones ang nasulod sa government coffers, to add to our foreign reserves, kay ang gi-news kun naa ba siyay valentine date o wala.

nakatawa ko ug nakuryoso aning imong comment, states.  tinuod, wa gyod hinoon ko makabasa nga gigamit ni nga term to describe vehicular accidents in the u.s.  not that i could read everything, though.

curiosity made me search into the whys of this term, if at all it truly exists and isn't just another 'invention' by philippine english (like our famous 'aggrupation'!)      

it turns out that the phrase does exist.  'turn turtle' is an invention of sailors.  thus:

turn turtle means to be utterly helpless or defenseless. when turned on their backs, turtles are completely powerless and without defense. turn turtle also means ‘to overturn, upset, capsize.’
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Vulnerability

turn turtle: turn upside down
sailors originally invented this term when they learnt to overturn the turtle or marine tortoise, which is suitable for food, in order to immobilise it. they applied the expression to the capsizing of ships or boats, but its use has now spread to other things that accidentally overturn.

my parents always refer to 'turn turtle' whenever we see a car upside down. thanks for the definition and sourcing, isles.
