Loud explosion rocks Serendra

TAKEN from Jaime Garchitorena's FB page:

I just got word that the piped on gas to SERENDRA 1 & 2 will be permanently shut off. That seems to imply a SYSTEMIC problem rather than an isolated incident.

In exchange for the loss of piped in gas, the residents will have their piped in gas ranges replaced by electric ones. That sounds ok until you realize that the cost of electric cooking is higher than gas cooking. So anyone on a budget will see their bills jump up considering the onerous electricity rates in this country.

So in the end, the unit owners are left with an expensive "solution" for their cooking requirements.

Personally I doubt if the unit owners and residents will settle for this solution. I would think they would file protests to let them use LPG stoves. LPG tanks use odorized-LPG which would have avoided the explosion since the smell would have been detectable even in very small amounts.
