“Estella was killed when a speeding bus hit a taxi she was riding. She was on her way to a gathering with friends at the Ayala TechnoHub at the time.
“In a post on its Facebook page, the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication said the run will come from four points of Metro Manila.
