Gloria On Glorietta: Less Than Sympathetic
Her first reaction: “Don’t try to pin this on me.”
Her second reaction: “Stop crying. Have some money.”
Even if she had nothing to do with the Glorietta bombing, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s reaction to the tragedy has been less than sympathetic. Aloofness is a luxury she can ill afford at this point.
Glorietta Bombing Death Toll Rises to Eleven
The death toll from Friday’s Glorietta 2 mall explosion is now at 11, after one of the victims in critical condition died before dawn Sunday.
Makati Councilor Junjun Binay identified the 11th fatality as Ricardo Betras, 24.
Betras died around 2:23 am at the Ospital ng Makati.
It just keeps getting worse and worse. That no one has taken credit for these deaths only suggests that the person responsible is sitting somewhere silently satisfied with the results.
