On Methane Gases, Fishing Blasting caps and Real Bombs

Say it all with Bombs!

The first instance of allegedly bombings, which according to the police turned out as, methane gases (which we all know came from human excreta, urine, and other human and animal wastes), that exploded in Glorietta was one big blow on the police and the mall owners in the country. Imagine, a poor-me human wastes can blast off almost an entire building! I imagine, the power of human wastes as it build up to form a powerful weapon against their dumpers.
But the possibility of terrorist attack in Glorietta was outrightly dismissed by the Police and the Palace, after their investigation. They say, its methane...so okay, it's methane.

I think now, every household which has its own septic tanks must worry that one day, the wrath of their former human wastes would rise, fume all its anger like sleeping volcano and erupt in their backyard, as methane eruption. Whew! Now, the word "methane" has become a household name. Every street child, every tricycle driver, everyone, even those who live in the streets of Forbes Park, know what methane is, and the definition--the substance that can explode a mall, and kill hundreds. Nobel, the inventor of dynamite should have thought of this gas, as an explosive than his sulphur-rich explosives.

I personally do not want to believe that the blast in G4 is none but sewerage problem. I'd like to frigthen myself more with the thought of bombs. But, I do not want to take the idea all by myself. But Makati, with all its splendor and majesty failed to investigate or inspect the premises of Glorietta mall? How come? Are they sleeping between their jobs? Or they think wastes are too foul-smelling to inspect? Hay buhay.

Cavite Blasting Caps

This could be a new name for the fishing blasting caps, that exploded more or less 5 kilometers from where I am sleeping. That afternoon, I was so sleepy in our study room that I decided to take a nap. Suddenly, I heard something big fell downstairs, all I thought, it was something that fell. I woke up early evening from that long, beauty rest and voila! An apartment in a subdivision near our own place exploded. The cause? Fishing blasting caps which were illegally repacked inside a residential area. I wonder why the barangay officials in that community(Panapaan) had no idea that there was an illegal activity in their own backyard. Why did they fail to sniff out an illegal activity some few houses perhaps away from their halls? Huh!

I remember a tenant in a house for rent at the back of our house, used to have 3 gas tanks, the neighbors found out that the house is no longer used as residence but bread (tasty) factory. Definitely, this fact alarmed the neighborhood, they gathered a petition within the area to evict the tasty bread factory. Too bad, I will never get free tasty bread from the adjacent house cum bread-factory. Ask why?!

The newly elected barangay officials must do their part. Make your own neighborhood safer place to live. If this quiet and almost never-heard in the world place, a small barrio in Bacoor, Cavite is not free from any preventable danger, what more the streets, the malls, the markets and all public places?

The House Bombings

This time it is not an apartment but the supposed to be one of the safest places in the country--the House of Representatives. I must agree with sadness what the son of one of the victims had uttered, he said crying, "I never expected that this will happen to my father, not in Batasan, which we thought the safest place here.."

The boy is glaringly correct. If we cannot secure our own legislative houses, how can these people make our houses safe? Well, they are not for all these reasons. No place here now is safe. Either we are unsafe because of utmost negligence or we are unsafe because of utmost evil. It's like the devil and the deep blue sea.

I must extend my condolences to those innocent people whose lives perished in the incident, especially the untiring loyal legislative staff and employess who worked in Batasan. Also, those Congressmen who were injured and who died (Cong. Akbar). I just wonder, it would be great if all the corrupt officials would be tied up in a building full of high-powered bombs and explode...this country would be clean. But, of course, NOT all people in Congress, both the House and Senate alike, are corrupt, many of them (?), are still faithful to the call of duty and loyal to the call of Republic. God bless your souls.

But, with these bombings, rather explosons, are we not scaring off not just the investors, but our own people. Huh, I'd rather ask someone to shop for me, or to be my grocer than to go to any malls right now. I am not also leaving the house if not needed. But I better be careful, my own neighbor might have another blasting caps to explode for a show.

Then where can we go for safety? I know...heaven.
