1 day. 3 bombings. damn you people.

my mother asked me to switch the tv to local news... and seeing the words "explosion" and "ayala mrt" was enough to freak me out... i started calling my college friends who were still in school, and those who i knew were about to go home... friggin' sun cellular! not being able to contact my friends immediately made me freak out even more...

i got to contact niel and kapow first... they were almost ready to go on the mrt when the explosion happened below them on the station... they heard the sound, and felt the ground shake beneath them... that made them run out and back to school... next i was able to check on joel whom i knew always took a bus home from below the mrt station... he said he was with francis and nina at pizza hut when the bus exploded... it was a huge blessing considering the fact that one of the three buses caught on the explosion could've been his...

my heart couldn't stop racing (it still hasn't) that i just had to text everyone in school to be careful going home... i can't even explain the fear i had... damn it. damn all those who did this! and finding out that there were two other explosions in general santos and davao made me hate them even more... a news flash a while ago stated that the abu sayyaf took responsibility for the explosions, but tita bardie said it was bullshit...

last year, the misuari breakaway group (MBG) gave gloria macapagal arroyo an ultimatum... if she didn't raise the economy of the country in a hundred days, they will take action... fast forward to this year, there was a recent encounter between the AFP and the MBG in Jolo... dozens of soldiers and militants were killed... the AFP were sent to jolo initially to look for the abu sayyaf troupes... the MBG claimed that in the AFP's pursuit, they hit a member of MBG, and this triggered the whole thing... but in reality, civilians got hit, but the MBG claimed them to be able to start a logical fight and get noticed...

back to the explosions... there are now two posibilities: it could be a diversionary tactic BY THE ADMINISTRATION to take the people's attention away from the jolo incident... why? because they're afraid that the real issue behind the attack would come out... that the people would realize it was a deal gloria made (and neglected eventually) with Misuari that made them angry; or, it could be some form of a call from a number of militant groups... telling the MBG and the Abu Sayyaf that they have them on their side... (how heartless can they be?!)

either way, everything was about greed, selfishness and the claim for power. all those lives wasted for some stupid ego trip..!

damn them all!

if i were gloria, i would clean up my act right about now... in the first place, she shouldn't have given the cabinet positions out for the sake of utang na loob... who told her anyway to raise her ganda points by promising her friends such responsibilities? now look who's taking the beating... and promising to release misuari just so she can get mindanao's votes?! WTF?!

i don't know anymore... i've never been this worked up about a political issue... maybe the fact that my friends could've gotten hurt drove me to the edge... i'm pretty sure this isn't something i'd forget anytime soon... i'm gonna keep myself posted on this one...

they're all so mean... evil.
