According to another source, (allegedly)the bomb was planted in the basement to prevent human casualties. It was only intended as a diversionary tactic on the part of the mastermind. The bomber according to the source was an ex military man hired by a very powerful figure close to Malacanang. Unfortunately, they've miscalculated the blast, thus many lives were lost. The source said the mastermind used this to take the pressure off GMA because she is on the hot seat. Allegedly, the main reasons were JDV v GMA row(power struggle & impeachment row), ZTE deal bruhaha, P500k payoff, coupled with sowing terror on the people to force the general public support the Anti-terror bill(wire-tapping & additional emergency powers to use against their opponents etc.), afterwhich, if the hideous acts fail, they will again try to push for the CHACHA to further water down the heat in Malacanang.


I hope this is not true.
