Pointing Fingers

So one version in the Glorietta bombing is that there is no bombing at all. rather, the explosion was allegedly the result of a chemical reaction from the methane gas coming from the septic tank and diesel fumes from the generator which were located in  the basement. Of course, this being the Philippines, the findings (which are not yet final) are being disputed. Chemical engineering professors of UP Diliman are saying that a chemical reaction will not have such massive effect. Officials from Ayala Land say that most of the waste in their toilets are liquid waste so it will not accumulate much methane gas.

If the cause was a chemical reaction, why did some mall goers smell gunpowder right after the explosion? Whatever the cause, it will take away the fact that several families have lost their loved one in the blast.

On the night of the blast, Senator Trillanes was very quick to point out that it is the Arroyo administration behind the blast. In his trademark crazed look, he said that there was already a government plan to cause panic in the people. Tarantado. Alam na pala nya na may planong ganun, hindi pa sya nagsalita bago pa man nangyari.. And this guy is a public official?

Though I will not discount the possibility that the military may be behind this, I still have my doubts. If there was a plan to cause panic, it should have happened to some other place, not in a Makati mall. Gloria has been very proud of the fact that we have been making some economic growths. Bombing Glorietta would reverse or at the very least, the gained economic growth would be lost. Makati=business sector=economy.
