Do you know what's really sad about what happened? The fact that people will pretty much forget about it in the next 2-3 months.

Perhaps they'll forget, perhaps they'll quietly remember. Let's wait and see.

Hay nakalungkot talaga. Kahit na siguro hindi na kami nakatira dyan sa Pinas syempre affected pa rin kami kasi nan dyan pa yung mga loved ones namin. My heart aches for those people who were affected by this senseless act

That Friday was a really dark moment for a lot of people, whether they were directly affected by the incident or not. The country is picking up the pieces slowly, hopefully not too slowly that no definite answers are given.

Let them all who died rest in peace.

Amen.

If that was a terrorist plot, the best way to get back at them is to resume our day to day activities but with more vigilance. Be aware of your surroundings. If you notice an unatttended bag/backpack, inform security right away. It is better to be safe than sorry. If it was an accident, it is a wake-up call to everybody in the construction/building maintenance/real estate development/government officials to focus on safety of the buildings in the Philippines. How often are these buildings inspected? Were they given certificates of occupancy because they legitimately passed safety inspections or is it because of the amount of money given to them? This is a lesson for all of us to be vigilant, and safety conscious.

Hi Ann! We should be vigilant, yes! And in our vigilance we should remember that our neglect affects not strangers, but loved ones — our own or others’.

sometimes you'd think if the people who orchestrated this believe in God...i guess not.

i hope we all get over it soon...para puro happy nest-time of articles ulit....

Recent news points to it being an accident. I don't know what to believe anymore!

i am worried with this ayala blast. i couldn't answer the question "what is more painful or which is better, that the blast is due to an orchestrated bomb attack, a negligence or an accident?". i can't think of an answer for when I try to reason out for each one of the possible reason of the blast, at the end of it all, it leads me back to the innocent people who died and been injured by the blast.

Exactly, ruby, exactly. whatever the motive was, a lot of people were harmed and suffered because of it. Sigh, it is terrible, really.

write

we write of happy notes
and we write sad songs
we write of inspiring moments
and of the ones that torment

we are writers
and we find our solitude
in the eye of madness,
our own turmoil
in seeming peace

when we write.

Writing is therapy indeed.

If only horrible things like this didn’t happen! I don’t blame you for being frightened… I live oceans away pero takot na takot ako noong Friday when reading the news online.

Haven’t been to Glorietta since the blast. Still scared!!!
