Ayun sa report, dalawang oras maganap ang pagsabog sa Serendra, isang pangmayamang lugar sa Taguig City Biyernes ng gabi, dumating si Pangulong Aquino at si Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.
Galing, di ba? Aksyun agad.
Ano nga ba ang aksyun?
Kapag tiningnan mo ang video ng ABS-CBN, makikita na may opisyal ng pulis na kausap ni Presidente. Nagtuturo, paminsan-minsan tumatango si PNoy. Mukhang nagbi-briefing tungkol sa nangyaring pagsabog.
Sa oras na yun, ayun sa mga on-the-spot report, wala pang detalya tungkol sa pagsabog. Paiba-iba pa kung saang palapag nangyari ang pagsabog at kung ilan ang namatay.
Karaniwan, ang Filipino, kapag may nangyari– away, pagsabog,sunog o anumang kaguluhan- takbo kaagad para mag-usisa. “Usi” ang tawag natin sa ganyang ugali.
Maaring katulad ng marami sa atin, ganun din si PNoy.
Sa mga dalawang beses na bumagyo at maraming nawalan ng bahay, nasaktan at may namatay, binatikos si Aquino dahil hindi siya bumibisita sa mga nasalantang lugar kahit nakalipas ang ilang araw.
Ang sinabi ng Malacanang, ayaw daw ni Aquino na maka-istorbo sa rescue at relief operations. Kasi kapag pumunta daw siya, aasikasuhin pa siya.
Oo nga naman, Presidente siya kaya aasikasuhin talaga siya. At kailangan siya protektahan.
Naala-ala pa ba ninyo ang Rizal Park hostage taking noong Agosto 2010 kung saan walong taga-Hongkong ang namatay? Halos 15 oras na walang narinig at hindi nakita si PNoy. Nagsimula ang hostage-taking mga 9 ng umaga, nagsalita siya sa media, lampas na ng hatinggabi.
“Bakit nandiyan ang Presidente?” Yan ang tanong ng marami nang makita si Pnoy sa scene-of-the blast sa Serendra noong Biyernes ng gabi. Yung iba ay naiinis dahil sa ganong oras, istorbo lang siya doon. Wala namang matutulong ang kanyang pagpunta doon.
Ang iba naman ay nag-aalala sa kanyang kaligtasan. Sa ganung oras, hindi pa alam ang sanhi ng pagsabog. Paano kung kagagawan yun ng terorista? Di pati siya, delikado.
Tanong ng iba, bakit pinayagan yan ng kanyang chief security? Bakit may magawa ba ang chief security kung gusto ng Presidente?
Ito ang ibang reaksyon sa Facebook:
Sabi ni Nonoy Espina: “The rich are truly different from you and me… sumabog lang ang apartment, personal presidential order na. Matupok man libo-libong dampa, ni singhot wala.”
Meron ding pumalakpak.
Sabin ni Arnel P. Casanova, presidente at chief executive officer ng Bases Conversion and Development Authority, na siyang may-ari datin ng lupa na kintatayuan ng Serendra,” It is comforting to see President Aquino himself on top of the situation on the site and the entire government and private sector working together to address the situation in a very efficient and expeditious manner. “
Kumento ni Carlito Bisa :I hope the president could also visit the squatters na nasusunugan at maralitang nabibiktima ng karahasan.”
Bakit ganun, naloka ako sa aksyon-kidlat ni Pnoy a! 🙂
Ang daming nasusunugang poor nasaan ang pangulo. I checked kung ano Serendra na yan, ang gandang condo pala!
Kung gagawa ng papogi, mas guapo kung tatakbuhin din nya ang mahihirap na nasusunugan. Yun lang!
Teka, baka dumikit sa shoes ni Pnoy ang ilang evidence, hehehe!
katakataka pa ba?
sus!
hindi pa ba sapat na ebidensiya ang ilang panukalang batas na TINABLA ni penoy na kumitil sa pag-asa ng mga maralita at kapus palad gayun na rin ang ating mga senior citizens?
kelan ba magiging tunay na makamahirap ang isang taong ipinanganak sa bunton ng limpak na salapi?
ellen, kilala mo si BGen Daniel Lucero, di ba?

hindi kaya masasabing kakapalan na ito ng mukha at sobrang kamanhiran sa dinaranas na pagdarahop ng ating mga kababayang walang mailamang pagkain sa tiyan?

The last time an explosion occurred in that neighborhood was a few months ago – January or February when police said the explosion at Two Parkade was caused by gas leak. Two Parkade is about two blocks away from Two Serendra.
Serendra is owned by Ayala Land, a company not new to explosions like this, e.g. the celebrated case of the Glorietta explosion in 2007 which killed more than 10 people. Conflicting theories were offered by PNP, and foreign experts. And local expurtz like me covered this extensively in my now defunct blog.
The final stupid explanation that was accepted was that by Luizo Ticman (did I spell that right?) of the PNP saying it was a methane and diesel explosion but cannot explain how it happened.
Kaya nga stupid e.
They ended up filing cases against people working in the area, and City Hall EXCEPT for Ayala Land employees.
What do I think will be the outcome of this investigation in Serendra? Nothing. Except more stupid findings maybe.
Tongue, I remember you did an incisive article on the Glorietta blast. Could you report the link here? Or pls send the articel to me by email.
Thanks.
Why can’t gas experts ID right away if it was so? If gas was not the cause ay move on na from there to other possible causes.
Hindi kaya hinihintay ule ang Ayala para mag-declare ng sariling findings na covered ang interes nila? Just asking.
Ellen, this is the link to my first post on the explosion with the technical exchanges with other bloggers: http://tongueinanew.blogspot.com/2007/10/bomb-what-bomb.html#comment-form
I can’t find the link but I also discussed this at length at the same time in Manolo Quezon’s blog.
And this is the final post on the matter summarizing the different reports of the investigators both local and foreign. I found many of my theories supported by the data of Ayala’s expert, Dr. Etheridge. That it was not caused by diesel and that the amount of methane, and the physical arrangement of the equipment in the basement does not support the methane theory either.

Of course, the police came out with its defective conclusion, like it validated Iggy’s signatures as those of Jose Pidal when clearly those were not.
The incident however, was effective in, again, suppressing political discontent at the time when the sham impeachment courtesy of Rep. Marcoleta and Oliver Lozano and brown bag moolah distribution in Malacanang were hot topics.
It’s also worth noting that the Glorietta bombing happened a few days after FVR gave a fiery press con, vowing to make a huge exposé (purportedly against the Gloria Arroyo regime) upon his return from his overseas trip. Of course, we now know that Tabako never revealed anything explosive as promised.
Wala kayang personal na interes ang Presidente sa Serendra?
allow me for this, kahit OT:
