Glorietta Blast

AMIN (Anak Mindanao) Party List strongly condemns the bomb attack at the Glorietta Mall causing the death of 9 people and the injury of a hundred others. Amidst initial reports that a C4 bomb was used, we call for a thorough investigation of the blast. Speculations that it is "terror attack" must not be readily accepted. We fear that in the haste to solve the case, this latest incident will just be attributed to alleged terror groups, resulting to indiscriminate arrest of civilians, the usual suspects of whom are Muslims and Mindanaoans.

Further, let it not be discounted that this incident may be a diversionary tactic of the Arroyo administration amidst the series of controversies and the renewed calls for GMA's resignation and impeachment. The GMA administration tried to divert the public's attention from all these issues by once again bringing up the issue of Cha-Cha, but failed. It is not remote that this incident might be used for political ends ensuring GMA's hold to power.

We therefore call on every Filipino to stand united and be vigilant against threats to our peace, freedom and democracy. Terrorism as a tactic used for whatever end has no place in a civilized society and must be condemned. We shall not let those with evil designs take away our freedom. And lastly, while we call for justice to all the victims, let us offer our prayers, support and sympathy to the families of those who perished in the Glorietta blast.
