Explosion in Glorietta 2
Today’s a sad day.
There was an explosion in Glorietta 2 in the Look Yuen restaurant and a lot of people died and were hurt. A friend of mine was in Chowking in the same building where the explosion occured. Nothing happened to them, thank God, but the idea that this can happen in the financial heart of our country sends shivers up my spine. People originally thought it was an LPG tank explosion but reports now indicate that it was a bomb explosion caused by TNT or C4.
Let’s pray for those who have died or were hurt by the explosion.
But let’s also pray about the long term implications of this event. Remember we have the Human Security Act now in effect in the Philippines. Plus there’s a lot of political chaos going on, with accusations of bribery, impeachments complaints, calls for resignation and large scale corruption charges being hurled everywhere. Political alliances are slowly breaking, and the last thing we need is a “terrorist attack,” if it is one, to splinter the remaining stability we have.
Let’s pray, very hard, that nothing more happens, especially another explosion, whether it be political or real.
God Bless everyone and stay safe.

“Caused by TNT or C4?!”…
Can “anybody” just buy that over the counter?! And be used by a no conscience human being to harm innocent people?…
I’m sad of what’s happening to our culture, our government, and our country…
Only a person who has no fear of the Lord can do such an act…Let us be cautious and vigilant. And Pray for the leaders of our country that they rule in God’s guidance.

It’s unfortunate that our beloved country is being treated like a Ship of State wherein the commanders are warring factions wanting to wrest command from one another or sink it. The good news for them, and the bad news for the rest of us is that they alone have the life jackets already tucked around their bodies, while the rest of us may have to drown together with the doomed vessel. I wish the Filipinos wake up from their deep slumber and boot these undesirable commanders over the gangplank, tied from head to foot and made into ready food for the hungry sharks.

it was the most-fitted and useful diversion from the corruption and other issues our president is facing right now. it’s like: “wait, don’t mind my stealing and my cheating - i have ‘terrorists’ to catch.”
