Explosion at Congress
(Initial Blog Post)
Details are sketchy but our country has now had another explosion. That’s 2 explosions in little less than a month. Anymore explosions and the Philippines may invite comparisons with Pakistan or even Iraq, where explosions happen almost everyday.
This explosion, which seems to have been caused by a bomb, happened in the Batasang Pambansa Complex. It killed Basilan Representative Wahab Akbar and the driver of Gabriella Representative Luz Ilagan and wounded several others.
In this particular case, all indications seem to point to it being a bomb, unlike the Glorietta Explosion, which to date, remains controversial. No less than House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. claims that the explosion was a bomb. The Speaker reportedly told a radio station that “There is a bomb that exploded in the South Wing of the Batasan Complex.”
Let’s pray that no more explosions occur. I, for one, have had enough of those to last me a lifetime. Sadly however, I believe this may not be the last explosion I will see in my own lifetime, nor will it be the last you will see in our country.
Keep Praying.
