Eight killed, 120 hurt in Makati mall blast

Update:Trillanes says Glorietta Bombing Malacanang Handiwork

“I believe the Glorietta 2 mall blast that killed eight and wounded hundred other persons is the handiwork of Malacanang Palace, particularly National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales and AFP Chief of Staff Hermogenes Esperon.

“It very looks like a repeat of Oplan Greenbase, perpetrated by the administration in 2003 in Mindanao, where a series of bombings rocked the island, killing innocent people and destroying property. Those bombings remain unexplained to this day.

“This blast is most likely another tactic of the administration to divert public attention away from the controversies hounding GMA.

“Like Oplan Greenbase, this blast is a pretext for assorted measures GMA may again concoct, like exercise of emergency powers, possibly even martial law, to justify repressive actions against the people to clamp down on peaceful protests and subdue the rising public clamor for her to resign.

“Malacanang has no compunction in doing this kind of dastardly act. Aside from the Mindanao bombings, this administration is also believed to be responsible for the extra-judicial killings. They have done it before. They will do it again, if not stopped from their tracks. They will do everything just to ensure that GMA stays in power.

From ABs-CBN online:

Eight people were killed while at least 89 others were injured after an explosion ripped through an upscale mall in Makati City Friday afternoon.

Red Cross and police officials said 56 people injured in the blast were rushed to Makati Medical Center while 33 others were brought to Ospital ng Makati.

In a press conference, Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon said the blast in the Glorietta 2 ground level at 1:30 p.m. was “probably caused by a bomb” and not a gas leak as earlier reported.

“This was a bomb. But beyond that we can’t say anything else yet because we are still investigating. What I can say is it was not LPG that caused this,” Razon told reporters.

He said there was still no conclusive evidence to determine if the blast was caused by a C-4 bomb, a military explosive, or any other improvised explosive device. He added that the police cannot definitely say if the explosion was a terrorist attack.

Director Geary Barias, National Capital Region Police Office chief, said bomb debris carpeted a 200 square-meter area in the mall. “The ceilings are damaged and may collapse,” Barias said.

The explosion ripped through the roof of the mall and damaged nearby shops. Debris from the blast were scattered on the streets.

A general alert has been issued for the rest of the city and for the international airport, officials said. A meeting of the National Security Council was called for later in the day.

Barias placed all police units in Metro Manila on full alert status and ordered district offices to put up more checkpoints in the metropolis. He added that he will order more policemen deployed in nearby malls to maintain peace and order.

“We will send policemen to other malls to restore order especially here in Makati and to prevent any untoward incident,” Barias told reporters.

The blast, which occurred during lunch-hour, spread panic in the city of 12 million people, which has in the past been the scene of attacks by Muslim separatist rebels.

Several shoppers said the blast was heard from a nearby baby store in the mall. Liana Navarro, sister of Black and White Movement’s Leah Navarro and who was in the mall with her mother, said several people including children were seen with “obvious injuries.”

Another witness, Arel Vertucio, said the explosion was so strong that it was felt up to the third level of the mall. Vertucio said he saw some people lying on the ground.

Eyewitness Icy Marinas was only 15 meters away from the Glorietta explosion when it occurred. She said the blast felt like an “intense earthquake.”

She said she saw a pregnant woman crying after the blast while other women started rushing out of the mall with their families. She added that she saw “three bloodied men” near the blast site while the security guards just stood around with no reaction.

Charlie Nepomuceno, an employee at the Glorietta mall, said the powerful explosion appeared to have centered on an escalator.

“It left a deep crater at the foot of the escalator,” he said. “It also ripped open the roof of the building. I saw a man thrown on to the roof who had lost a leg.”

He said a badly mangled body of a woman was near the escalator.

Manila has largely been spared a spate of bomb attacks by Muslim rebels that have plagued the southern Mindanao region. But it has been hit in the past. A series of bomb blasts in 2000 killed at least 22 people.

President Arroyo ordered the police to “leave no stone unturned” in its investigation on the explosion.

“The President is deeply saddened by this incident and extends her sympathies to the families of the casualties…She has also ordered the PNP to get to the bottom of things and to leave no stone unturned,” Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said in a statement.

Bunye said the President also ordered the Department of Social Welfare and Development to extend assistance to the victims. With a report from Reuters

  1. “Like much else connected with Marcos, the declaration of martial law had a theatrical, smoke-and-mirrors quality. The incident that precipitated Proclamation 1081 was an attempt, allegedly by communists, to assassinate Minister of National Defense Enrile. As Enrile himself admitted after Marcos’s downfall in 1986, his unoccupied car had been riddled by machinegun bullets fired by his own men on the night that Proclamation 1081 was signed.”

    I hope and pray this will be NOT be the same scenario to divert attention from HER scandals!

    Traces of C4 found at Makati blast site

    An explosion which killed eight people and wounded 89 others in a shopping mall in the Philippine capital Manila on Friday was caused by a bomb, police sources said.

    Reuters reported that police sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said traces of C4 plastic explosives were found at the location. The bomb appeared to have been left near a cellphone repair shop at the bottom of an escalator, they said.

    Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon earlier debunked reports that the blast that hit Glorietta 2 ground level at 1:30 p.m. was caused by a gas leak.

    “This was a bomb. But beyond that we can’t say anything else yet because we are still investigating. What I can say is it was not [liquefied petroleum gas] that caused this,” Razon told reporters.

    Director Geary Barias, National Capital Region Police Office, has placed all police units in Metro Manila on full alert status and ordered district offices to put up more checkpoints in the metropolis.

    Barias also said he will order more policemen deployed in nearby malls to maintain peace and order.

    A job of the usual suspects. Bistado na kaya it’s time for Puno to come in and blame the Abus or Reds. I won’t be surprised if Puno will say ninakaw ng Abus or Reds and C4 plastic explosives sa militar para maghasik ng lagim sa Metro Manila. Razon will then have the reason to fortify MM and charge all Gloria’s critics with HSA.

    Mission accomplished, natabunan na ang isyu ng ‘suhulan sa Malacanang’! *&&^%(%$!

    Wow! Meron na namang pang photo-ops si Gloria.

    Binibisita/bibisitahin sa ospital ang mga victims ng bombing at pupuntahan ang Glorietta.

    Great photo-ops Lucifera Gloria, lungkot angle na.. 1, 2, 3, click!

  6. Without arriving at “premature” conclusions;I am simply asking myself the questions:

    1) who would have the REAL MOTIVE?

    2)Who would have the capability?

    3)Who stands to gain?

    4)Who would be so ruthless to inflict pain on innocent civilians?

    5)What’s the real game plan that will evolve after this dastardly act?

    Ang bilis pnasubalian ng mga awtoridad ni Gloria ang unang assessment na LPG ang cause ng pagsabog at sinabing agad na bomba samantalang iniimbestigahan pa lang. Bakit alam nila agad? At pa photo-ops agad si Gloria sa pagpunta sa mga ospital. Malamang sila ang may gawa! Scripted malamang. Pero ang buhay ng mga biktima ay do pwedeng ipagwalang bahala. Mga MAMAMATAY TAO!

    May God bless their souls for those who lost thier lives in that blast. I’m also praying for a fast recovery for injured ones.
    To the cowards that plan/planted this bomb; shame on you!
    I have a strong feeling that this is another Gloria’s and boys’diversionary tactic. They always find a way to distract people to unfocus on them. Just look at the timing?

    The Equalizer,

    Ang sagot sa mga tanong mo ay …ang kampo ni Gloria!!! For their survival in their stolen power!!!

  11. pechanco pechanco

    Instead of bombing the Mall, they should have bombed Malacanang. I knew it was coming. But I hoped not at the expense of innocent civilians. Dapat binomba ang lugar na pinagmi-meeting ng mga alipores ni GMA. They should have bombed during the time when cash gifts were being distributed to the politicians para pati ang mga pera masunog. GMA’s reaction was quick as if she knew it was going to happen. Most likely, gawa into ng intelligence unit ng Malacanang and then again blame it on the Communist or Muslim extremists. Papasok na naman ang mga Kano. Nasa bansa na nga ang dalawang US warships for stand by.

    Without arriving at “premature” conclusions;I am simply asking myself the questions:

    1) who would have the REAL MOTIVE?
    -Gloria and minions
    2)Who would have the capability?
    -AFP (the gloria lapdogs only)
    3)Who stands to gain?
    – Gloria regime gains bigtime.
    4)Who would be so ruthless to inflict pain on innocent civilians?
    -Gloria and boys pa rin, if they don’t care about starving filipino people by stealing money, raising taxes,etc. How can it be more different from inflicting pain to civilians?
    5)What’s the real game plan that will evolve after this dastardly act?
    -Martial law, to divert attention so they can put the blame on the opposition.

  15. CHI:GOD knows.There’s no escaping from the day of judgment for the evil doers!

    I agree, I’m not gonna join hands with gloria and sing kumbaya for her unity call. You know she’ll be calling it in her speech any day now. I only sympathize with the victims and their families. For me, tuloy pa rin ang laban against her leadership.

  25. pechanco pechanco

    WWNL, don’t be surprised if Malacanang blame it on Trillanes.
    Malacanang might even blame it on Erap and the opposition. Just wait for Malacanang’s future announcement.

  26. piping dilat piping dilat

    from the reactions of malacanang , i am more inclined to think that this was similar to what Trillanes had revealed about Davao and Gen San bombing…

    who has access to high explosives?
    who has capability to breach Glorieta’s securities?
    who is is dire need to divert attention from being caught red handed in this scandalous bribery acts? and equally scandalous contracts?

    JI prefers to target Westerners to make a political statement ( eg. Bali )… if i am not mistaken, there was not a single Westerner among the victims…

    Officials of the Arroyo administration maybe behind the blast that ripped through an upscale mall in Makati City Friday.

    This was the statement issued to media through a text message by the office of former Navy officer and neophyte senator Antonio Trillanes IV through a text message.

    Trillanes’s camp tagged National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzalez and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Gen. Hermogenes Esperon as possibly behind the incident.

    It added that the incident was similar to “Oplan Greenbase” which allegedly included in its plan the bombing of the Davao international airport and the Sasa wharf in 2003.

    Equalizer, when Enrile staged his own ambush, nobody got hurt, if i am not mistaken….

    But this one… eight innocent civilians lost their lives in this dastardly act! The perpetuators should not be allowed to live! If caught, I would prefer to hang them to the nearest tree ! Or skin them alive!

  35. off topic,just to cool us down:

    “Women in several countries have begun sending their panties to Myanmar embassies in a culturally insulting gesture of protest against the recent brutal crackdown there, a campaign supporter said Friday.

    “It’s an extremely strong message in Burmese and in all Southeast Asian culture,” said Liz Hilton, who supports an activist group that launched the “Panties for Peace” drive earlier this week.

    The group, Lanna Action for Burma, says the country’s superstitious generals, especially junta leader Gen. Than Shwe, also believe that contact with women’s underwear saps them of power.”

    We have a RUTHLESS president. A president who does not care about her people; who does not care about morals; who does not care about values; who does not care about principles. We have a pretending-to-be president who does not give a shit. Period.

    What we have is a pretending-to-be president who cares only about power; who only will do everything to perpetuate herself, despite the fact that majority of her people are puking her !

    Why would Norbie Gonzalez be pissed with Senator Trinalles’ statement ? It affects him. It must also have affected Gloria. The truth does hurt.

    Now, why can’t Gloria be suspect #1 in the Glorietta 2 Bombing ? She stands to gain from this horrible incident.

  62. Although this is not at all any consolotion, we can be thankful that the death toll is not in the hundreds…

    With regard to this blast, I’m keeping an open mind — could be the handiwork of terrorist, rebel parallel armies, could be just an accident, could be the work of pro-Arroyo group or anti-Arroyo group.

    One thing I see is that this tragedy will reinforce international belief that the Philippines is an unstable country with an unstable govt. Foreign governments will be posting negative travel advisories against the Philippines again and could be very bad for business in the short term.

    And because we know that Gloria can be diabolical, she might use this to declare emergency rule.

Whoever of the US presidential candidates who will push for the throwing out of GMA will not get a zero vote..you will have my vote..kahit na si Hillary Clinton..ayaw ko siya pero kung mapatalsik niya si GMA I will campaign for her to be president…warning ko lang though sa kanya..ingat ka lang kasi baka makuha si bill sa iyo..oops ang dumi ng mga isip ninyo ang ibig kung sabihin ang dollar bill..and this is no threat but a promise.

    Muslims – why not? the nation is so divided with the successive grafts and corruptions cases. One after the other. This is the perfect time to get a piece of the action.

    Prostituted Military – why not? their days are also numbered and when that time comes, sa kangkungan sila pupulutin. So logical thing to do? unahan na nila ang mga galit na idealist members ng AFP so they can at least buy time.

    Idealist Military – Why not? Sobra na, military knows and deals with Collateral Damages. We can never tell. Baka ito na ang prelude ng Military Junta. After all who cares, the nation remains with the tight grip of the Military (retired as well as retarded)

    Kano – Why not? Observe how quiet in Mindanao? Where are their concentration focused now? Di ba sa Mindanao. Why? What is in Mindanao that is so important to the US? What? If the attention is shifted to Manila, whatever happen in Mindanao will not even get into entertainment page of the media. Mga kapatid, baka naman merong saksakan ng Importanteng bagay na nangyayari doon sa Mindanao.

    China: bakit hindi? baka malapit na ang takeover ng Taiwan?

    Others: Sino sino ang mga makikinabang ng pangmatagalan. Yung kay Gloria, alam na nila ang possibility ng People Pow Wow. Nasan na si Ermita? nasa Quiapo? Paki check lang din si FVR tapos kung makita itanong na din natin si Danding….

    I second that pinoynrs. Send gloria to Gitmo(guantanamo bay). She’s like a terrorist embedded by the pasig river.
    I try my best to be open-minded about who did it, but, I always end up with Gloria… It can’t possibly be the anti-arroyo group, we’ve got the momentum already, so why waste it on such a cowardly act? Nakakaduda talaga ang timing eh! Tuloy pa rin ang laban.

    Eto na ang mga pala tandaan na si Gloria ang nasa likod nito
    .
    Eto ang signature style niya.

    1) “Please Impeach Me” hindi umubra sa taong bayan buko huli.
    2) “Please Invistigate Me” lalong pumalpak siya.
    3) “Please BOMB Me” iyang ang ginawa nila noong planuhin patalsikin si Erap.
    Ano kaya ang susunod na gagawin nila.

    Biro ninyo kahit na may mamatay or madamay na tao ay bale wala sa kanila. Sabagay ginawa na nila sa SUNDALO natin na nilagay sa bitag ng mga ka away. Ilan sundalo rin ang namatay doon. Ngayon ang mga sibilyang tao naman ang idadamay nila. Talagang ganid sila sa kasamahan.

  75. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Here they go again. GMA signature has something to do with ‘impeach me’, ‘investigate me’ and now ‘bomb me’. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what’s happening in our country today. Maybe by coincidence Glorietta mall was the target. Glorietta is a derivative of Gloria. The sinister plan is to portray her as the victim. She exploited the bombing incident by all means to gain public sympathy. In the headlines-Gloria Arroyo visits Makati bombing victims. Crocodile tears are flowing in front of digital world audience. GMA cannot stand the political heat and so she needs a quick diversion.

    Everything is possible under corrupt Arroyo regime. Innocent lives have been sacrificed for political gain. Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts are the usual suspects. Plastic bomb or C-4 explosives type are military arsenal. Operation Greenbase part II??? Justice for the victims!

  76. Chabeli Chabeli

    Sampot, hindi naman all the Elite “..more than benefited from this bogus regime..” Seguro the Razons, Concepcions, Aboitizes, Viratas, & a few others lang are die-hard Gloria beneficiaries “And they are always ready to extend any assistance to their puppet.” Look at how Razon helped Gloria in the ZTE thingy. Believe me, there are many in the Elite who dream of the day she is ousted.

    If I may say also, I do not believe that the Ayalas are behind her. Vicky Gachitorena-who works with the Ayalas, used to be with Gloria’s government, but has since resigned some time back.

  79. pechanco pechanco

    Kahit na mapatunayan na explosives at gamit ng AFP ang bomba, it’s easy for Malacanang to blame it on the disgruntled rebel soldiers out to overthrow the government. Sabi ko nga, kahit na mga nakakulong na mga sundalo baka ibintang din sa kanila.

  80. ipaglaban_mo ipaglaban_mo

    Yep, malacanang will dress another fake witness to point the fingers at the reble soldiers. Same script.

  81. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Yes, C-4 explosives type is military arsenal. C-4 explosives should be tightly controlled due to part of AFP military arsenal.

  82. ShivaRN, yes C-4 is government issued. But I won’t be surprised if official will again say, it was pilfered from the government arsenal.

    If they can use that line with carplates (remember Jonas Burgos), why not with bombs?

  83. It’s all about motives! Who stand to gain the most from this dastardly act?

    Reflect

    Discern

  84. Statement of the Trillanes Paglingkurin Movement:

    The Trillanes Paglingkurin Movement condemns in the strongest terms teh Glorietta bombing resulting in death and injuries of innocent civilians.

    These dastardly acts of terror can only be masterminded by fascist security officials of the Arroyo administration headed by two cabinet members and the chief of staff of the AFP who masterminded, among others, the Oplan Green Base exposed at Oakwood,the ongoing Basilan war,and countless extra-judicial killings.

    This was done to divert the people’s attention from the avalanche of scandals confronting the illegitimate, oppressive, and corrupt GMA administration and stifle further the democratic rights of the Filipino people.

    These heinous crimes will continue for as long as the criminal gang of the GMA administration stays in Malacañang.

    We demand swift justice to all perpetrators of this senseless and dastardly acts!

    By the looks of it, the bombing was obviously scripted. Why would the president visit the hospital not even a kilometer away and there could be danger lurking. The safety of the president is paramount no matter what. The press op is really working at the expense of lives and alarm. What a scandal.

  113. Except for two or three, almost unanimously this blog’s members have completed their analysis while those from others are still mourning. And based on our scorecards, we always reflect and represent here the true sentiments of the Filipino people.

    I had also wanted to keep an open mind, but I cannot think of any other group that would have benefited the most from it except Gloriaetta herself and her minions.

    No single person in the country today has innards built the way Gloria’s are. What’s another 8 dead Pinoys today when we average 140 a year? The year’s almost over and we’ve not even hit a hundred? Has she lost her touch?

    Ellen posted it, that part of Gloria’s message, and the link to the full message, too, which I repeat here:

    “I warn those who seek to destabilize our government not to exploit this incident for their selfish political motives.”

    Read between the lines. The message was explicit against her opponents in politics but was silent against the perpetrators of this dastardly act. READ AGAIN! This time follow the link for the full speech. Did she ever condemn the supposed bombers? But she did warn her political enemies, didn’t she?

    The subconscious mind gave her away again. She cannot denounce the bombers because they belong to her cabal.

    Tama ang obserbasyon mo, hindi man lang nasama sa speech ni Gloria ang pag-condemn sa perpetrators ng pagsabog kundi ang emphasis niya ay ang political enemies niya. Sunod-sunod na kasi ang pagkadismaya ng taong bayan sa mga anomalya at nag-uumpisa ng kumilos ang mga mamamayan. Sabay pa ng paghayag ng dismaya ng mga WARRIORs sa Tanay. Kaya ang pagsabog na nangyari ay malaki ang posibilidad na ala-Greenbase.

  119. chi chi

    I agree, Tongue. Very obvious, Gloria’s subconcious is the one talking.

  120. Stupid talaga itong mga tauhan ni Unano to be blaming the Opposition for this carnage. Ano siya masaya? Komo sa Makati nagrally ang mga matatapang na nagpakita ng galit nila sa pagnanakaw at panunuhol nila sa Makati ginawa ang mga kalokohan nila.

    I believe the soldiers now in incarceration. In fact, iyan ang narinig kong sinabi ni Col. Querubin noon when he and his fellow valiant soldiers refused to be used to kill innocent civilians just so the creep can stay in power.

    Sa totoo lang dapat may nanagot ng sinasabi nila ngayong pilferage of military supplies allegedly used for this kind of carnage. Sa amin iyan baka nagpakamatay na iyong Minister of Defense namin. Isang maling salita nga lang nag-resign na iyong isang minister namin recently iyon pang sabihin nawalan ng bomba na ginamit sa pagpatay ng mga innocent civilian.

    Unbelievable talaga ang kagaguhan ng trabaho ng mga ungas. Shame on my cousin for instance who headed the camp where theft and robbery was committed twice or more at the house of an incarcerated military officer Aquino! Sabi nga, you can choose your friends but not your kin!!!

This time follow the link for the full speech. Did she ever condemn the supposed bombers? But she did warn her political enemies, didn’t she?”

  122. Gumawa lang in fact si unano ng dahilan para matakot lalo ang mga taumbayan na sumama sa mga rallies and protests ngayon laban sa kaniya. Kaya sa Makati pa ginawa at sa kapangalan pa niya para talagang ipalabas na trabaho ng opposition ang pagbomba sa mall na kapangalan niya.

    The psychology there is simply so that she can have someone to blame for what her own men have done. Utak criminal talaga! Kung sinabi pa niyang trabaho ng NPA o ng Abus, baka maniwala pa ako sa kaniya. Pero ang pagbintangan ang mga Opposition, huling-huli silang nagsisinungaling, especially when the bomb used is an official military supply.

    Sobra namang bobo ng operative ng ungas. Sa kadadaya ng mga ungas, nabobo na ng husto! Bakit kailangang gumamit sila ng mamahaling C-bomb? Puede naman silang gumawa ng mga home-made bombs sa totoo lang para hindi sobrang obvious.

    Kung sinabi pang NPA o Abus ang gumawa ng carnage na ito, baka maniwala pa ako, except that the two organizations apparently do not have that much anymore to procure such expensive bombs except when they have received money from Malacanang complete with the bomb to detonate at that mall in Makati and try to link it with the protest started at Makati the other day. Wow, mga kamote talaga!!!

  134. “MANILA, Philippines–Military explosives may have been used in a huge bomb blast at a shopping mall in the Makati financial district that left nine dead and 113 injured, police said Saturday.

    Evidence collected from the Glorietta mall blast site indicates that the bomb “contained RDX, the main chemical component of C4,” the police said in a report to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

    In the Philippines, C4 explosive is only used by the military.INQUIRER”

  135. cocoy cocoy

    The Equalizer;

    C4 is pretty well used only by the military. It’s a military plastic explosive based on an explosive ingredient called RDX, to which a polyisobutene plasticiser is added.C4 is hard to buy, it’s very hard to get hold of if you are not a government, or a user with the correct government certificate. it’s something that’s used but mainly it’s a military explosive.

    If the bombing is done by none military, We would suspect that it’s been stolen from a military force. That’s the easiest way to get it, via a friendly soldier who sell it with the right amount.My question,who has the most benefit of it in this bombing? My guess is not Bin Laden,my guess is the phone pal of Garci and Ben.

NINO?

    SINO KAYA ang magkakaroon ng sapat na motibo at kawalan ng budhi’t kaluluwa upang magsagawa ng ganitong karumaldumal na krimen KUNDI silang mga kapit tuko sa laylayan ng saya ng katulad din nilang gahamang si gloria arrovo? ang hayup na babaeng ubod amo ng mukha sa pagharap sa sambayanan kapag merong pinagtatakpang kawalanghiyaan at nananawagan ng pagdadamayan at pagkakaisang siya rin ang malaon ng NAGWASAK. siya na dahil sa PAGIGING GANID sa salapi at kapangyarihan at UBOD KAPAL ng mukhang nakukuha pang magsinungaling at magtahitahi ng kabulaanan sa bawat pagharap niya sa international community ukol sa tunay na kalagayan ng katahimikan, kaayusan, hustisya at ekonomiya ng bansa?

    ilang inosenteng buhay pa kaya ang kanilang walang pakundangang isasakripisyo at mga ariariang wawasakin mailigaw lamang ang atensiyon at paniniwala ng sambayan sa tunay na mga kinasasangkutan ng mga alipores ng huwad, mandaraya, sinungaling at sukab na babaeng umaastang pangulo? palalawigin pa ba ang kanilang pananatili sa imoral na poder at hayaang huthuting tigang ang kaban ng bayan bago sila bumaba sa mabaho nilang panunungkulan?

    paano na ang kinabukasan ng ating mga supling at susunod na salinlahing papalit kung ang binhi ng katiwalian ay hindi susugpuin sa kasalukuyang panahon?

  140. Sampot, hindi naman all the Elite “..more than benefited from this bogus regime..” Seguro the Razons, Concepcions, Aboitizes, Viratas, & a few others lang are die-hard Gloria beneficiaries “And they are always ready to extend any assistance to their puppet.” Look at how Razon helped Gloria in the ZTE thingy. Believe me, there are many in the Elite who dream of the day she is ousted.” – Chabeli

    I can agree with you wholeheartedly. But why is it that those “Good Elites” are not doing anything but prefer to stay in the comfort of “playing safe”?

    I also would like to throw this same question to the majority of our OFWs.

    Last year alone, $20Billion dollars were contributed by the OFWs to our own economy – that is a whopping Php 1,000,000,000.00 at P50 per dollar exchange rate.

    One Trillion is 80% of the 2007 National Budget.

    Combine that with the Total Income Tax prededucted from every non-OFW employee, wow, that’s more than enough to buy their own President!

    The point is clear: the OFWs and your Good Elite can change the destiny of this country whenever they wishes to.

    But…. will they?

    just wondering? bakit kaya hindi nag va-vagina monologue( in reference to his mouth that looks a bit like it) si honorable senator cayat-tano? what’s keeping him silent? ahh, siguro “bahala na kayo syndrome” ang tumama sa kanya. bilib pa naman sana ako noon sa kanya dahil lahat na lang ng isyu pinapasukan, kahit wala siyang kinalaman. tsk, tsk, napakatanga ko naman,, pero i need not worry- marami kami (na nauto niya).

    I share your observation.

    And to go even further, i always believe that ALL terrorism attacks in the past were done by those in the government.

    Man, by nature and like all animals, doesn’t WANT to kill his own kind. But it seems to me, that those in Malacanan today are not of our species anymore.

    They are Vultures ready to rip their prey apart in every opportunity.

    Ka Sampot, matuwid ang iyong analisis hinggil sa pagitan ng OFW Remitanses at ng Taunang Badyet ng pamahalaan; gayunman, maraming salamat sa iyong pagbibigay ng kahalagahan sa natatanging sektor ng paggawa – ang OFW. Kahit na humigit pa sa 20B USD kada taon ang remitanses ay walang saysay, dahil ang PAMAHALAAN ay walang konkretong programa hinggil sa “RE-INTEGRASYON”, sa katunayan, ang pinakamalubhang “social cost” para sa sektor ng OFW ay unti-unti at parami-ng parami ang “nawawasak na pamilya”. Matagal nang inihatag ng mga iba’t-ibang OFW-PO’s ang PANUKALANG PROGRAMANG RE-INTEGRASYON at ang PAGKAKAROON ng PAMBANSANG BANGKO PARA SA OFW na magmumula sa mandato ng batas, subalit nagsasawalang-kibo ang pamahalaan.

    Kung sino ang nakikinabang sa 20B USD Remitanses ay yaong mga iilang Ganid na Kapitalistang Bankero, at ang mga TUTA nito sa pamahalaan… Sa realidad, hindi nararamdaman ng mga OFW ang esensiya ng 20B USD Remitanses, sa kadahilanang, magpasangayon ay nasa ilalim pa rin ng guhit ng kahirapan ang mga pamilyang OFW. Sa katunayan, may mga OFW na kapit-sa patalim na tinatanggap na lamang ang mababang pasahod, partikular rito sa Saudi Arabia, na may mga Pilipinong sumasahod ng 1000 riyals (12,000php) kada isang buwan o sa mas mababa pa.

    Nagkaroon ng Overseas Absentte Voting Law, subalit hindi sapat na makapagdikta ang OFW sa usaping kapangyarihang pulitikal, dahil hindi rin nasuportahan ng pamahalaan ng lubusan, manapa’y naging instrumento pa sa nakaraang dayaan sa eleksyon. At ang masakit, nagagamit pa ang pondo ng OWWA…

    Ganunpaman… may pag-asa pa.. kung kailan… marahil… bukas… sa Awa ng Dakilang Lumikha.

    According to the National Security Adviser, Norberto Gonzalez, the bomb blast in Glorietta 2 “could be a show of force and capability by a local terror cell.” (abs-cbnnews.com).

    If we were to take this man’s statement seriously, wouldn’t the likes of terrorist cells like the Abu Sayyaf, Jemaah Islamiya, MILF, or other Al Qaeda-connected groups, be rushing to grab the limelight-as they seem to love to do after they succeed in an attack ?

    It’s been over 24 hours since the bomb blast, & we have not heard from any terrorist groups claiming victory to prove to the public that they are formidable force. The only one mentioning, or alluding to, terrorists is Norberto Gonzalez. Which, to my mind, is suspicious. I know it is his job to open his mouth & say something, but his opinion on the matter is too shallow. Anyone could have said that for the sake of saying something. The Abu Sayyaf has said (abs-cbnnews.com) that “..the group has no involvement in the bomb blast..” & that “the Abu Sayyaf has not fielded any operative in Metro Manila.”

    Which leaves analysts, for now, to deduce that the Glorietta 2 bomb blast was an “inside” job. It could have been the handiwork of the right-leaning military men (who would also have access to a C-4 bomb) who want to remove Gloria from Malacanang at all cost. The bomb was a warning to her. This could explain why Gloria cancelled her trip to Ormoc & Tacloban today. What I also gathered last night, was that some generals were called to Malacanan while they were attending a party for an ex-General. After the meeting in the Palace, the Generals went back to the party. They all looked nervous.

    However, one may ask, “why such a ruthess act, like a bomb blast, at the expense of people’s lives ?” We must remember that the enemy (Gloria) IS ruthless.

    Yes, The Woman did not appear to condemn the bombers. But warned her usual destablizers (opposition and rebel soldiers, I suppose)not to exploit the situation. And segued right into announcing that she would send out 2,000 policemen throughout the metro area.

    Iyan ang sagot sa buhay ng mga ordinaryong pinoy na biktima ng “bomb me” ni Gloria, while from P200,000 to 500,000 para sa tongressmen, governadores et al sa “impeach me”.

    Hindi nababayaran ang buhay ng tao (maliban kung sila ay mga allied tongressmen, governors and local officials ni Gloria at mga minions), pero ano itong halaga na ipinagmamalaki ni Gloria?

    Chabeli,

    Why are the “good elites’ only make kuyakoy?
    If they are ‘good’, they should have acted by now! What are they waiting for, when it’s already safe for their own interests?! As I said in my previous post, it is contrary to the nature of goodness to just stay neutral or not do something about evil.

    A completely ruthless person who is willing to do ANYTHING in pursuit of his or her objectives. It does not matter to this person what the costs are, even the “human” costs.

    This person must be desperate. He or she decided to strike at the very heart of the business district to make a point. He or she is sending a very clear warning to all :“The worst is yet to come”.

    This person means business. The stakes are too high now. No more turning back .Every day matters. His or her “clock” is ticking away very fast…

    The more desperate he or she becomes, the more desperate will be his or her NEXT moves. It is his or her downward spiral to the abyss of desperation.

    Is he or she afraid of retribution from men? Nope. He or she thinks that
    there is always an exception to the rule that “no one is above the law”.

    Worried about Divine retribution? Nope. That person must think that God is always on his or her side. No different from those ruthless suicide bombers in the Middle East.

    God save our country from this person.

    I think the OFWs themselves can set-up their own bank. I think this should be the first that must be done. Reintegration will come as a natural course of things once this Bank is already there.

    Contrary to popular beliefs, the Central Bank is not OUR bank, but essentially owned by private bankers and governed by their own set of laws.

    So if these private bankers can do it, why can’t the OFWs?… With or without the help of Congress… i mean, when was the last time these Crocodiles ever thought of helping that which does not concerns them?

    The plight of OFW is the last thing in the minds of a corrupt government.

    As you may know by now and as expected, the AFP is blaming it on terrorists. Terrorism doesn’t have to be the enemies. A terrorist can also be among them (AFP and Malacanang). Sa tingin ko ang pinagbabasehan nila ay dahil sa Glorietta ginawa. Galit daw ang mga tao kay Gloria kaya Gloriata Mall ang pinasabog.

    Where’s Makati Mayor Binay? Is he abroad? How come we don’t hear a word from him? Usually, he’s immediately at the crime scene anywhere in Makati and is now already very visible in the media. Pero ilang araw na ang nakalipas, wala tayong narinig kay Binay. Strange…

  176. Chabeli Chabeli

    Sampot & Chi:

    The answer to the question, “..why is it that those “Good Elites” are not doing anything..?” is because there is no viable alternative, much less a viable plan.

    These “Good Elites” who have been EX supporters of Gloria know that they have made a mistake in EDSA 2. Although it looks that way, it is not that they are, as Sampot says, prefering “stay in the comfort of “playing safe”. They are being very careful this time. The EDSA 2 boo-boo was too costly, as we can all see today. Gloria turned out to be one, big mistake.

    So, Binay is in Japan. I suggest that he returns ASAP. Buti hindi siya pinagbintangan na siyang gumawa o mastermind. Even from Japan, he could always issue a statement to the media. His silence may invite suspicion from other groups. Walang iba kay FVR na tuwing may coup ay nasa ibang bansa. Suspetsa tuloy ng mga tao utak ng mga coup si Ramos. Babalik lang sa bansa kung tapos na o hindi naging successful ang coup. I’m not saying Binay is a suspect. But since the incident happened in his city of Makati; tapos wala pa siya nang nangyari, dapat bumalik siya agad sa Pinas.

With today technology, puwede naman siya tumawag sa telepono kahit cell phone o e-mail. He must show he cares about the bombing and death of many people right in his city of Makati. Kapag tahimik at hindi bumalik agad, pasensiya na kung maging suspect ko siya. Questions: 1. Why did it happen in Makati? 2. Binay is a reserved Marine officers so may connection iyan sa AFP at intelligence. 3. Avid opposition leader siya.

    Ang magulo, sinasabi ng Ayala, sa labas ang sumabog. Sabi ng mga biktima at witnesses, sa escalator. Sabi ng mga imbestigador, baka daw sa basement kasi nandoon ang sewage treatment plant na pwedeng sumabog pa rin. Pero hindi pa raw mainspeksyon dahil bumaha na ng mabahong tubig.

    Tangna, saan ba talaga? Kanya-kanyang interes, maliban siguro sa mga biktimang gusto ng hustisya.

    Ang Ayala, ayaw yata managutan sa mga namatay at nasaktan sa labas ng tulong na ibinigay na nila kaya para hindi sila masisi, sa labas ang sabog. Wala sa jurisdiction nila.

    Yung mga SOCO, gustong ipilit na may anggulong terorista dahil nga merong sewage doon na maaaring may methane gas na naipon na.

    Pero yung mga witness mismo, parang walang halaga sa imbestigasyon, a! Maliban sa ipinakitang pag-abot ni Pandak ng pera sa mga lamayan (hindi naka-brown paper bag)na photo-op lang naman walang nakikitang pinupuntahan ng mga imbestigador. May marami pang accounts at pictures sa mga blogs ngayon.

    Kung isa ako sa mga pamilya ng biktima, isasampal ko sa mukha niya yung pera dahil kung hindi sa kanya buhay pa sana yung biktima!

    1. Jose Allan De Jesus
    2. Liza Marquez
    3. Lester Peregrina
    4. Janine Marcos
    5. Anthony Marius Arroyo
    6. Maria Celeste Cruz
    7. Jee Ann De Gracia
    8. Cesar Nino Vidano
    9. Rainier Tan
    10. Maureen de Leon

    —–Is the above name Anthony Arroyo (No.5) related to GMA’s or Joker’s family?

    Another thing that many might not have noticed…why did the FBI immediately arrive to investigate the bombing. Ang bilis naman ng mga FBI investigators na ito. Parang anticipated ang nangyaring bombing. Bear in mind that the CIA can do the impossible things to change or replace a foreign leader or government. Never ignore this US-CIA factor.

  192. pechanco:
    The FBI didn’t have to ‘immediately arrive’, they’re already here watching every move we make – smile.

  193. Its reported that the C-4 contained 80 bars which would weigh 100lbs. Now please tell me how that got past the Mall’s securitymen unless carried by some ‘Law Enforcer’, either AFP or PNP.

  194. pechanco pechanco

    Tama ka. Because as soon as after the bombing, it was reported that FBI agents were around to help investigate. Hindi ba nakakapagtaka ito? The US and other countries in the West still have to issue statement condemning the bombing. Pero parang wala tayong narinig.

  195. Perhaps because the blast was small in comparisson to the blast that claimed more than 100 victims in Pakistan.

    The Makati blast is not even in the news in Europe but the Pakistani blast is all over and is headline news. (Maybe because Gloria is suspect?)

  196. pechanco pechanco

    Next time it’s Malacanang blast, I’m sure the foreign media will publish it. I call on that group that claimed responsibility to bomb Malacanang and LTA Building (Mike Arroyo’s office). I’m posing this challenge to them. Ang hirap sa kanila mga mall lang ang kaya at mga inosenteng tao.

    There is no mention in the U.S. about the blast in Makati. Why don’t we blast all the major network with blogs all the bad things going on in the Philippines caused by Gloria. Media like Foxnews, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, NPR radio, And also in Europe. In other words wake them up.

  198. Dandaw,

    What for? To show that we are an irresponsible nation with irresponsible leaders? What can they do that our own people cannot do?

  199. We must stop depending on others for things that we should do ourselves.

    TT,
    I beg to disagree. yung c4, marami sa mga rebelde yan. ang problema, galing din sa mga tiwaling militar and op kors aprubado ng mga opisyal nila.

    kaya nalo-low morale na mga sundalo dahil ang pumapatay sa kanila, armas din nila. ginigisa sa sariling mantika.

    kawawang mga RSM palagi na lang sila.. wala na bang iba?

    Parang shades of Galman during the ninoy assasination, hehehehe

    To the so called “good elites”: Be brave and come to the good side with us now. We don’t need you only to do a victory street dance with us in the future. We also need you to be a part of our campaign against Gloria today. Together as one, we will not fail…

  202. I absolutely agree that Arroyo did this horrific bombing. She follows in the footsteps of George W. Bush who blew up buildings on 9/11. Watch the movie on http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com and youtube the embarrassing “Jane Standley wtc7.” Wow, just as I was obsessing on the contents of this Zeitgeist movie, it is also happening in the Philippines. There are so many evil people in this world just to get power and money.

    A quote sited from the movie:
    When the power of love overcomes
    the love of power, the world will
    know peace.
    -Jimi Hendrix

  203. Iyong pilferage sa military, lumang tugtugin na iyan. Mas dumami nga ang bentahan after 1986 as a matter of fact. A lot of the guns that were smuggled to Japan by Filipino and sold to Yakuzas were from military people who actually connived with Customs officials, et al.

    When I worked as a tour escort for a Japanese travel agency, and we would take tourists to the Philippines, I witnessed in fact some military people offering them guns for sale during a shooting tour at some military camp. I got into a heated argument with an officer in fact when I stopped a Japanese from getting lured into buying one that the officer said they would pack well enough not to be caught at the Japanese Customs. Ang tindi ng corruption especially now, I guess.

    Over in Japan, no one is excused from the very strict gun control, not even the police as a matter of fact. When they are off duty, police cannot bring home their guns. The same holds true to the military especially when lawyers here consider it illegal if soldiers will point their guns to their fellow Japanese even in times of war much more in times of peace regardless of whether or not Japan has a big war arsenal.

    Patalsikin na, now na!

  204. We must stop depending on others for things that we should do ourselves.

    Sinabi mo pa, Anna, especially at this time when the US has its own economy to worry about, and even when the crooks have timed this bombing with the coming of those Americans for their military exercises in the Philippines with Filipino rebels allegedly used as targets for their exercises!!!

    Dapat nga magalit ang pilipino diyan at hindi iyong aasahan pa ang ibang lahi para sa pagsolba ng problema nila. Time for Filipinos to show that they can stand on their own two feet, gutom or no gutom!!!

    Patalsikin na, now na!!!

  205. broadbandido broadbandido

    The timing is suspect. To happen on a Friday so that the stocks and the peso rate will not be affected since it is the last day of trading. Makes you wonder.

  206. To be very honest,I am arriving at the point of view that the bombing of the ayala mall was a very desperate act by a cabal with military connections for the purpose of diverting public attention away from “cash gift”bribery scandal.

    The cabal has now moved from the “spins/cover-up”stage to the “martial law”preps.Very dangerous stage.

    The other theories just don’t hold water:

    1)extortion:easier to do that in isolated cell sites of the ayalas’globe network.

    2)asg:plain hoax,the story is a creation of norberto gonzales

    3)the abus:they are holed up in the mountains of Basilan under severe attack of our marines.

    4)the leftists/rightists:why destroy the momentum of the
    public outcry against the bribery scandals?

    The Equalizer,

    Ordered to do so by the Kwin Korap. Later, Asspweron will produce a fake bomber (again)!

  208. It is extremely difficult to remain neutral at a time like this.

    What the “move on,catch us if you can” crowd want us to do is follow the infamous advice of Raul Manglapus.

    Sabi nga ni Raul Manglapus sa mga kababayan nating pinay noon sa Kuwait during Iraq’s first attack, “If rape is inevitable, just lie down and enjoy it”.

    I don’t want this country to be raped by the Pidals, Ronnie Puno , Mr.Esperon and company !!!

    Salam o Kapayapaan sa lahat na makakabasa nito:
    Natutuwa akong naiinis habang pinapanood ko dito sa Saudi thru TFC ang pahayag ni VP Noli De Castro ang pagbibintang na naman sa muslim na may kagagawan kuno sa bombing sa Glorietta at tinuturo ang kapatid na si Shaykh Omar Lavila.kabayan di bat Muslim ang kinakasama mo ngayon?Ewan ko kung anong klaseng tao ka Kabayan ..nakakapanlumo nagkaroon tayo ng VP na walang UTAK!!!Wag mo namang tapakan ang karapatan ng Muslim at itago na sa puso mo ang makatotohanang pagpapahayag komo ba nasa pwesti ka na…Baka huling termino mo na yan sa pulitika at di ka na manalong muli…Kakatuwa na ultimo iyong larawan ni Shaykh Omar ay retokado at hindi sya mismo. Napakalalim ng kaalaman ng kapatid na Omar sa Islam na ultimo pagpapakuha ng larawan na ipinagbabawal sa Islam ay hindi nya ginagawa at ang pag -amin sa krimen ay di gawain ng isang matuwid na Muslim o Mujahideen dahil kapalaluan ang sabihin ang bagay na ito at mauuwi lamang sa kayabangan. Ang pag amin na iyon ay lalong nagpatibay na hindi Muslim ang may kagagawan at pinatibay pa ito ng mga imbestigasyon mismo ng SOCO na tanging militar lamang ang meron nito. Nakasama ko mismo si Shaykh Omar sa Hajj noong 2000 at naniniwala akong ang nagsasalita sa Balita at ang larawan ay hindi siya.Si Gloria ay bihasa na sa paghasik ng kasamaan sa basbas ni Bush. Maghasik ng Terorismo at ibintang sa Muslim at pagsamantalahan ang Muslim kagaya ng pagpapasabog sa World Trade Center upang giyerahin lang ang Iraq at Afghanistan at isakripisyo ang mga mamamayan upang maisatuparan lamang ang layong mapanatili sa pwesto. Hindi kelan man nakialam ang Muslim at api-apihan na lamang sa patuloy na pagpatay sa kanila kagaya ng Iraq, Afghanistan at Pilipinas na tanging hangad lamang ay kalayaan sa Pagsamba..Mga kababayan kelan naghasik ang Muslim ng kasamaan, di ba’t ang pagka-api at diskriminasyon sa lipunan ang laging tinatamo naming mga Muslim..Salamat na lamang sa tulong ng Allah na nagpapanatili sa amin at aanihin ng totoong masasama ang nilalayon mila INSHALLAH..Ang TERORISMO mismo ay Gobyerno at hindi kailanman aasahan ng seguridad ng mamamayan saksi ang kulay sukang pagsisinungaling ni Norberto Gonzales, GMA, Kabayan at Esperon..ang mga KRIMINAL sa Glorietta..Maasahan nyo yan dahil tama si katotong Trillanes na pakana ito ng Gobyerno..walang pinag-iba sa US na hanggang ngayon hindi maipaliwanag ang 9/11 bombing…ngayon GMA sa Glorietta Bombing ..tiyak yan!!!!!

    Just like yourself I also thought of one person being responsible for the tragic bombing last Friday along with, I guess, at least 70% of the population.
    How come the Bishops are looking for excuses.

  212. Suddenly they’re foating some theory that it was an acccdent what happened to the traces of the C-4 explosive detected at the scene by the experts.

    pechanco,
    It appears you haven’t been listening to the radio. Binay has been interviewed several times. So was Junjun. They are even offering a Million-peso reward for the capture of the perpetrators and what do you know? The PNP is giving P2 Million! Saan ngayon pupunta yung (kawawang?) witness?

    —Sorry Tongue, I’m not listening to radio anymore. I only watch TV or check the online. Luma at laos na kasi iyang radio. Anyway, Binay has to return to the country ASAP just the same. It was his city that was bombed. No need to prolong his stay in Japan unless he’s meeting ystakei for some last minute advice.

    Ana,

    The Filipinos are not irresposible but their government are. How long did it take us to dethrone Marcos? We are partly responsible for tracing their Ill Gotten Wealth. Believe me it did not happen if not for the U.S.news Media. “The San Jose Mercury News”. San Jose Mercury News got the Novel Prize for their exposee on the “Ill Gotten Wealth of Marcos” Of course Gloria and her cronies might use a different strategy. We should use all angles in the equation to be successful in this endeavour. Agree?

  215. Dandaw, agree if there is an international angle to the blast. But as is, seems, the whole thing is purely locally motivated.

    Also, depends on what exactly the purpose is…

    RP press are doing their job, aren’t they?

    why is that everytime arroyo is under attack something happens? then martial law issue will come out saying this will be her last chance to stay in power. hay…its not impossible if arroyos men did this. if you have friends in the military specially in mindanao they will tell you that they are the ones doing the bombing to get more funds. kasi sa dami ng funds ng military dapat well equiped na sila..pero hindi, hindi pa nga pumuputok minsan yung armas nila hehehe

    Marami silang pundo kaso iyong mga heneral na nakapwesto sila mismo ang corrupt..kaya nga nabuo ang MAGDALO kasi ang mga bosing lang ang busog at nagpapayaman..just liquidate the assets of the GENERAL in powers at sana iyong mga leftist hindi magbago kung dumating sa punto na mabago ang tadhana..sila talaga iyan kasi mismong sa hanay na nila ang umaamin at nagpapabulaan sa pag amin ng RSM na kanilang itinuturo. Sana sa Muslim kayo magtanong kasi mas reliable ang balita kung sa BALIK ISLAM mismo at nakagrupo ng mga suspect kayo magtatanong..likewise OMAR LAVILA matagal na siyang nakalabas ng bansa at nag-aaral ng ISLAMIC COURSE reliable iyan..ang liit lang ng PINAS hindi pa siya mahuli kung nasa PINAS nga siya di pa kaya siya mahuli o talagang di lang nila kilala si OMAR LAVILA dahil noong i-raid ang FESABILLILAH sa CUBAO at hinahanap si Ahmad Santos ay nandun siya..o talaga lang walang pwedeng ibigay sa kanyang matibay na ebedensiya at partisipasyon sa GRUPO dahil isa siyang guro na nagtuturo at nagpapahayag lamang ng ISLAMIC FAITH…bakit ganun na kalaki ang isyu..MAliwanag na nagagamit lamang ang mga Muslim sa puntong ito..at ang mga tunay na kriminal ay malayang ipinapasa lamang ang kabuhungan nila sa ibang GRUPO..Siguro pag totoong sila na nga ang gumawa malamang IKOT ang TUMBONG ng GOBYERNO..darating din yan????
