http://www.gmanews.tv/story/65096/Bl...ts-Makati-mallAn explosion of still undetermined origin rocked a Makati City shopping mall on Friday, initial reports said.
An eyewitness told GMANews.TV that it sounded like a firecracker had exploded, and then a thudding sound was heard, like that of a ceiling that had collapsed. Shoppers scampered out of the mall, some of them crying, while police agents rushed in.
The explosion was heard near the Glorietta 2 mall, from across the Landmark shopping center, near Ayala Avenue, in the financial district of Makati City. There were unconfirmed reports of injured persons.
A second eyewitness told radio dzBB that he saw smoke coming out of a building. It sounded like the explosion occurred inside or near one of the establishments.
The police said they received reports of an 'accidental explosion" of a liquefied petroleum gas tank. "But we are still verifying it," said Director Geary Barias, chief of the National Capital Region Police Office. - GMANews.TV
