Explosion at Glorietta?

[mbeige]

I was there and witnessed the blast in front of me. I was in the 2nd floor of glorietta 2 going to Landmark. I even saw the glass walls shatterring all around. I just passed the escalator when the blast happened.

I feel that it is not just an LPG because there is no smell of gas and not even fire. I was shocked after the blast and I just noticed that suddenly I was out of the mall due to all the people pushing at me ... a bit of stampede.

I'm glad nothing happened to you! Good to hear you're safe to write about it. Others are not so fortunate.

Here's a video I saw on YT there was only one so far but do check for more:

To think my wife and I were just there this past August when I was visiting.

non-sense speculation? well, not really...come to think of it...all the "ingredients" are there.

Tama. Di natin maaalis yan eh.

Remember that in 2000, on Rizal Day, at may impeachment pa si Erap, bombs went off in different places.

Ang opposition noon, is composed of then Vice Pres. GMA, si Tabako, the left and Gonzales. The group quickly blamed the Estrada gov't, right after the blasts. But the NBI then, after Estrada was ousted, came up with a report that the bombings were initiated by the MILF and a political move against Estrada to destabilize his government.

He-he! Iisang script lang ang sinusundan nila?

kada may malaking usapin lagi nalang may nagyayaring ganyan.
sila sila (executive/legislative sama nadin judiciary) naglolokohan.madami ng civilian ang nagsakripisyo sa mga kalokohan nila.
dina credible mga tao sa gobyerno nayan.we, or i need a new and better government than this one.sobra na.somebody must stop them from what they are doing at the moment.sana pag pasok ng 2008 wala na mga yan sa pwesto.

ok ah...wala nang gobe-gobyerno kaya,pampagulo lang sa buhay ng pinoy
mula pa noong panahon ni MLQ hanggang kay FM hanggang kay Cory...kay
Ramos...pati si Gloria daw,puro daw masama at mali ang gobyerno...

As far as I would see things... all of our opinions are good speculations of probability.

Pero one thing for sure, this crime (bombing) will NEVER be solve. Wala akong tibay na maasahan sa PNP, AFP and even NBI in solving this matter...pupusta pa ako dyan.

[Ventoy]

palagay ko di pangkaraniwang LPG to malamang Bomba Gagawaan ng mga walang AWANG taong masamang loob

sana man lang totoong aksidente ang nangyari at hindi intentional.kung totoo yong report na me traces ng c4 mas malamang sadya yan... kakaawa yong mga pamilya nong mga biktima.dyan natin masusubukan ang bagong chief pnp.

didn't someone once say that he'd rather "have the philippines ran like hell by the filipinos than to be ran well by the americans."

We heard the news while we were at the grocery, two hours after the incident.

We were supposed to meet a client there yesterday morning, pero tinanghali na kami ng gising. Heck, knowing us, we would've stayed around the Glorietta area long after our client meeting, at baka nadamay pa kami. Naalala ko tuloy nung 9/11, yung mga tinanghali ng gising para pumasok sa WTC, hindi nadamay sa terrorist attack.

So now it's official; being late will actually save your life.

Mahigpit na nga ang security sa Glorietta, nalusutan pa din?

To make matters worst...the gas companies have raised their prices to P.50/lt just today. What a timing!

According to a very reliable source(F**), theres C4 residues found near the blast area. Definitely celphone detonated bomb daw(creater & blast wave). Their suspicion daw, right wing elements or muslim extremists. Definitely not NPA daw. By the looks of it daw, C4 might have come from the military and probably sold to muslim extremist in Mindanao. In a bad light na naman mga muslim brothers natin. Perhaps it's all just speculation. Let's just wait for the results of the investigation nalang.

Sana hindi na tumaas ang casualties. Let's pray for all of them.
