A Moment to Reflect....Shattering Glorietta 2

After a claimer, a fire and new reports on bodies found, Glorietta is back to normal--but not the nation.....

It's been three days since the bombing. Presently counts on dead bodies found were now eleven, and the claimer to the bombing, Sheik Omar of the Rajah Sulayman group, doesn't seem to be who he really is.

As I read the Sunday paper, my heart went out more than last Friday to the victims of the explosion. Though the following morning after the bombing went back to normal for Glorietta, normal seems to be far from happening since there are still uncertainty as to where the explosion originated.

Was it a terrorist? an accident? or a diversion to cover for the issues faced by the government?

Yesterday made it rather confusing, especially today, as the said terrorist's father spoke saying that his son is in another country and that the voice on the phone call wasn't his son's at all. It was also followed by a report saying that after they've investigated the said terrorist, it turns out that he was not at all the man he claims to be and that he was but a dummy of a group.

Tonight's news also covers an explanation from a group of chemical engineers saying that the explosion may not have been caused by methane (after there were speculations that the explosion may be coming from an LPG). After their explanation as to why they arrived to that belief then I guess people can cut the idea that the explosion was but an accident....

Right now, all I can think of are the lives that were shattered that horrible day at Glorietta. They were but Innocent people who came to the mall to have fun--meet with loved ones, spend time with families, play around--but what appeared to be a great day at the mall turned out to be a nightmare.

What is the truth behind the explosion? who may have caused such an act? Are they sleeping well with the thought of their unknowing victims? Can they still smile with the faces of grieving loved ones popping on the news?

Prayer vigils are being done presently by groups to show their support for the sake of justice.

With the explosion of Glorietta, the whole nation grieved....

Keep hold of faith for in God's good time justice will prevail....
