I might be wrong on this pero wala naman yata sa history ng NPA ang pumatay ng mga innocent people, like this bombing in crowded places...more na work ng mga muslim insurgents, but mahirap mag speculate....

'Blast likely caused by a bomb'
National (as of 4:13 PM)
[SIZE=2][/SIZE][SIZE=2]Six people were killed while over 50 others were injured after an explosion ripped through a mall in Makati City Friday afternoon.
Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon said the blast in the Glorietta 2 ground level at 1:30 p.m. was "probably caused by a bomb."
"This was a bomb. But beyond that we can't say anything else yet because we are still investigating. What I can say is it was not [liquefied petroleum gas] that caused this," Razon told reporters.
A report by ABS-CBN Correspondent Charo Logarta identified four of the victims as Liza Enriquez, Janine Marcos, Jose Allen de Jesus and Lester Peregrina.
The Makati Medical Center said 51 people were rushed to hospital for treatment. Majority of the victims were children, a radio dzMM report said.
The National Capital Region Police Office was placed on red alert after the explosion. NCRPO chief Director Geary Barias said he will order more policemen deployed in nearby malls to maintain peace and order.
"We will send policemen to other malls to restore order especially here in Makati and to prevent any untoward incident," Barias told reporters.
Several shoppers said the blast was heard from a nearby baby store in the mall. Liana Navarro, sister of Black and White Movement’s Leah Navarro and who was in the mall with her mother, said several people including children were seen with “obvious injuries.”
The explosion ripped through the roof of the mall and damaged nearby shops. Debris from the blast were scattered on the streets.
Another witness, Arel Vertucio, said the explosion was so strong that it was felt up to the third level of the mall. Vertucio said he saw some people lying on the ground.
Eyewitness Icy Marinas was only 15 meters away from the Glorietta explosion when it occurred. She said the blast felt like an "intense earthquake."
She said she saw a pregnant woman crying after the blast while other women started rushing out of the mall with their families. She added that she saw "three bloodied men" near the blast site while the security guards just stood around with no reaction.
President Arroyo ordered the police to “leave no stone unturned” in its investigation on the explosion.
“The President is deeply saddened by this incident and extends her sympathies to the families of the casualties… She has also ordered the PNP to get to the bottom of things and to leave no stone unturned,” Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said in a statement.
Bunye said the President also ordered the Department of Social Welfare and Development to extend assistance to the victims to mitigate their suffering.
