BLAST IN GLORIETTA 2 MAKATI

[alexandra8886 0]

As of this time (10:27pm PhTime), its confirmed 8 died & 102 injured in the blast of Glorietta 2 Makati around 1:30pm (reference ABSCBN News). The blast happened in the stock room of Luk Yuen Restaurant near Starbucks. At first PNP thought that it was from LPG but further investigation is now happening to check for a possibility that it’s a bomb. Speculations for this incident are (1) another terrorist move or (2) – GMA administration to divert people’s attention of the current political issues.

After such incident RED ALERT was raised & men in uniform were placed on public areas – LRT/MRT station, Malls & Airport for further protection.

So for those people who will be traveling out of the Phils, better be there as early as you can to avoid heavy traffic inspection.

It just felt bad that some of the victims are student since it was still around lunch time when it happened.

If this is indeed a bomb and not LPG (from their initial investigations) then I think (personally) it could be a diversion tactics...? They have done it before and for sure they would blame it to the terrorists. It is just sad that they chosed that location and injuring and killing innocent children. That is just unacceptable, for me. (Just my opinion)

With that extent of damage, its a bomb, LPG can't cause that large damage. Somebody may have slipped a bomb on the retaurants delivery truck. Glorietta has tight security on their entrances so they put it on delivery items. Whoever did it they're evil . How sad that the victims are innocent people and children.

This really is a beautiful place to shop. My wife and I were there last June and enjoyed it. If you have ever visited, they do a customary security check at the entrance, simple pat down and bag check but security must be a nightmare to manage in these places. We took this picture when we visited.

I got ahold of Marivic and they are all ok my stepson was to go there yesterday to pick up lampshades but she told him not to, he would have been right next to where the blast was. Too close for comfort. I told them all to stay out of the malls. Her brother is a cop and there has been rumors of other malls not being safe.
