If you are working around the Makati area, there’s been a rumour that bombs are going to go off in certain buildings, either today or tomorrow. I’ve been getting various sms with the list of suspected buildings targetted. I’ve received ten so far (so you see, there’s no need to send me one again), two from my pacicky mum, and funny … my building is one of them! Hahaha. Actually, my building is quite famous for bomb threats, the classic story being an evacuation because of a “suspicious package” found in an advertising agency in the building. As it turns out, this was an attention-grabbing CV left by an applicant. He/she wanted his CV to “stand out”, which explains his brilliant idea of fashioning his CV to a bomb package. Brilliance has its downside – I don’t think the applicant was ever contacted again. That was a tad bit too much advertising, don’t you all agree.
If this is a false alarm like that Australian embassy stunt a few months back, it’s not funny. But ok, thanks for the tip. Just to be sure, maybe lay low on the partying around Makati, to everyone I know, yes? I’m usually unfazed by a lot of things, but you know the saying, it’s better to be safe than sorry. The Davao airport blast wasn’t funny either— I saw the pictures, Mad Bomber, and there were children burned and killed in your little delivery. Fuck you. I’ll admit that Manila isn’t the safest of places nowadays, you know. Shit.
And of course, who hasn’t received that email being circulated about racism at Cafe Havana at Greenbelt? The guard at the door refused to let a Filipino enter because “Priority namin ang foreigner.” (“Foreigners are our prority.”)
Indio ka rin, gago!
