Hiram na mukha.

Im not always doubtful about the government, am i? Maybe I am. We all know of the explosion last Friday at Glorietta 2 which killed 11 people and got a hundred more injured.First they said it was an LPG tank, then it was a bomb and that they have found remains of a bomb. When the people started pointing a finger towards the President who was suspected in dire need of this kind of distraction from the rising controveries she is drowning in and the impeachment still boiling against her, and there have been speculations that the government was behind the bombing so the President can call for emergency power and maybe shield herself from the impeachment being cooked for her, the authorities reversed the findings, saying the whole thing was an accident and no deliberate foul play happened. If that is the case, then it sure backfired a little earlier than calculated, because now the people are digging deeper if the government in anyway had something to do with the explosion. The latest culprit the authorities in charge have declared aside from 'deodorant' (which made a lot of radio announcers chuckle in shame for the authorities), is that the explosion was triggered by the combination of a diesel depot and a faulty sewerage system that releases methane produced by human waste, which when combined will become explosive (which can be possible in fairness - but it just seems like they are just trying to come up with a logical explanation that will suit the situation rather than deliver the truth- or im just very skeptic.. ) but nope, they did not find any bomb remains anymore and no there was no LPG tank involve. However,I still dont trust the judgement. Period. Maybe if it was all an honest mistake, the authorities should have waited until all has been finalized before they faced the media so their judgement would seem reliable and they wouldnt have to retract anything or add anything.

If it was the negligence on the part of AYALA LAND, or if it was the conspiracy behind what we know of as the government, who knows. The government and even the media can write and state a different version and we could all fall for it. I even saw one Newspaper with the headline "MINOR FIRE IN GLORIETTA"- the roof blasted off, the escalator collapse, it was like a shooting star just fell from the sky and a big crater was evident and people were seriously injured and some even died on the spot, was that MINOR FIRE?. The President even shopped at Glorietta afterwards to prove the safety of the mall was once again restored already and advised everyone to 'move on' now. Move On like it was nothing. That's always been your strategy. "Me cheated in the elections?" Move on. "my husband is corrupt?" Move on "my son is corrupt?" move on. "i gave early christmas gifts to Congress people?" move on. "who died?" move on. If your whole family died in one same instant, can the people of this country say the same thing to you? "move on" like it was nothing. Or if we say, please stop being the president and just move on...will you take it?

Its always been a puzzle kung kanino ka humiram ng mukha. If you are innocent in this case, and in any case the people have thrown at you, im sorry. But if you are guilty, i fall down to my knees, bow ako sa yo, ang kapal ng mukha mo. wala ka pang puso. will the real slimshady please stand up. im sorry hindi ako aktibista. i just dont think you are a good president.
