Bomb Blast in Makati
For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV
The video shown above is an amateur video taken by one of the people who got caught in the blasts.
Yesterday a terrible blast hits a mall two blocks away from where I work. At first when we heard the news 10 minutes after it happened we thought it was a hoax. But then my family started calling and asking me if I was okay, that's when we all knew that it was true. To think I actually thought of having lunch there yesterday with my friends sent shudders down my spine.
The police says they cannot conclude if it was a terrorist bombing yet. Whatever caused it makes no difference now, there were people who died and people who got injured. As of this writing there have been 9 people reported dead and more than 100 people wounded, some even in critical condition. I could not help but think that victim counts were not simply numbers. These are important people. They are most probably daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, friends, wives and husbands too and their families are all grieving because of this unfortunate event.
Today I am lighting candles for all those people who got hurt and died in the blast. And also for the people who came in and helped. God bless them all.
“Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”

God bless the souls of those who died in the bombing...
Let's all pray for eternal peace for the innocent souls lost,and for strength for their bereaved families.
"Life is stronger than death" - so true...
It is sad that there are so many bombings and acts against everyday people, for it gains nothing but loathing for those responsible.
'Life is stronger than death'.....very true my friend.
Let us all unite and pray for world peace, an end to this insanity of destruction.
god bless them!

God bless you too my dear.
No words could substitute their griefs. Only God could mend the grieving hearts (and it will take time)
Somebody lost a wife or a husband. A child lost a mom or a dad. A friend lost a friend.
Ah, I'm so speechless now.
GOD BE WITH YOU ALL.
