The blasts in Glorietta that killed innocent people and wounded many others call to the heavens for justice and vengeance… If those responsible for the blasts keep on inventing cover-ups, let them remember the universal law of “karma”:
What you sow, you shall reap!”

First of all, I am praying for all the victims and their families. It’s just so sad that these people’s lives changed just because they decided to unwind and relax at the time.

I feel sad for everyone. I feel sad for the families of those who died but I feel sadder for those who are injured. I feel sad for Glorietta. I feel sad for myself and for all the people whose leisure time includes going to malls. Truly, everyone is affected by these. Magpapasko pa naman.

I agree with what the article said. I don’t think this is a diversion used by the govt. No matter how corrupt some of them are, I don’t think they’ll use this kind of diversion.

And I agree with what some people say, our security is lax. Why do security guards use stick when checking our bags. Why can’t they use equipment which will detect anything explosive or deadly inside our bag. We CAN STOP this if we want to. Why doesn’t the govt spend THE MONEY on security in order to protect the people instead OF USING THE MONEY FOR THEIR PERSONAL USE.

I hope and pray that everything will be back to normal as soon as possible. I hope those who are in the hospital right now will recover.

*Sigh* Just wish these kind of things never happen. These people are innocent and they dont’ deserve this.

I very much agree that our security systems, not just in Glorietta, but in other malls as well, including the MRT/LRT are very lax. I’ve always noted how the security guards would only dip their sticks into our bags, after opening them, without even looking at the contents.

I was in shock as I watched yesterday’s news. It’s hard to imagine what the survivors and the victims’ families are going through right now. We all thought we have learned our lessons since the LRT bombing a few years ago, plus bomb threats here and there. It’s heartbreaking.

What I have been noticing is that mall security does cursory checks of bags and packages as an SOP at most. Frankly, I don’t even think the security guards know what to look out for. Have two guards or more at a post, and you will have a couple of gossiping guards on duty (usually ladies), their hands mechanically skimming over the customers’ bags/packages, while their minds and attention are focused on their topic at hand.

At this day and age of plastic bombs, we can only hope and pray that security and intelligence would work hand in hand to make shopping a safe activity.
