Glorietta 2 Blast - A crappy development

NICE COVER! A conspiracy theorist says.

"In order to prevent further panic, make a simple cover-up: invent a fictional blast-prone situation then boom! Use that." Apparently, this conspiracy theorist is not happy with the way that things turn out in the media regarding the G2 blast last week. He almost wants it to be a terrorist blast instead of an accident! [These conspiracy theorists. Go figure.. :)]

Well, I don't have the expertise regarding this. I just say out what most of you out there feel as well as what I read. You might as well check out this blog by Carlos Celdran and Washington Post. In addition, take a look at this editorial piece in Inquirer.

Now, if the explosion was caused by a gas leak, then Ayala screwed up big time AND are responsible for the 11 casualties and the hundreds injured. Expect some legal settlements, prosecutions, in the following weeks. Whatever the case, Ayala will have their hands full, now that the cause is not a terrorist but rather a corporation that people/victims can target in the "blame game" that is sure to follow. [You know, "kasalanan nyo lahat kung bakit namatay ang anak ko!" or something similar.]

Let me entertain the thought of a conspiracy theorist here; well, I've got nothing else to do anyway, so here goes... Let's say, it there is a terrorist plot and the methane gas screw up is a cover up, what would be the next likely scenarios?

Since the blame game now targets Ayala, this will not fit with Gloria's "scheme" to declare a military/police state to extend here term indefinitely. Well, there goes that conspiracy theory.

A delaying and/or diversionary tactic perhaps? A small diversion to prevent further panic while, behind the media, whatever plan the "conspirators" have plotted is now underway, undisturbed, and away from the peering eyes of the public. Now that attention is now focused on Ayala, they are now free to maneuver and do whatever they want. The question now is, who are the freakin' conspirators? The government? Some guys within Ayala? Terrorists? Well, this is something that I would leave to the conspiracy theorists out there. I've had enough! Hehehe :))

Let's just not forget about the 11 victims of the blasts. Like it or not, someone will get the blame. Not sure where that fits exactly with the five stages of dealing with death, but... well... you know how things work there. Someone gets the ax, the fallguy, the sacrificial lamb, or whatever you want to call it. People need someone to blame. And, in my opinion, rightfully so. Someone needs to be held responsible for this. If not the terrorists, it's Ayala.

Condolences to all who relatives who have lost a loved one there.
