Reboot Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) This sounds suspiciously like a bombing to me. Payback from Abu Sayaf for crackdown or Duterte's political opponents? They hit his home city. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/02/asia/philippines-explosion-davao-city/ At least 10 people have been killed and 60 injured in an explosion at a night market in Davao City in the Philippines, a senior official told CNN Philippines. Ernesto Abella, spokesman for Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, announced the death toll late Friday night. Live pictures from the scene show police sorting through debris. The cause of the explosion is not known. Edited September 2, 2016 by Reboot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i am bob Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 The vice mayor (also the president's son) said early this morning that it was an LPG tank that exploded... At this point it is not known if it was accidental or terrorist related... I can't see a vendor having an extra tank lying around that they weren't familiar with though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it Yeah, it was his dad, the president, that called... Hard to do anything when it's a big city and nobody knows where, when or how a possible incident may happen... Military and extra police had been called out... Many in civilian clothing to blend in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of training in this... From reading various news sources, I've come to the conclusion that it wasn't a phone tip but just a warning from an informant who didn't have enough information to stop this from happening... The only phone call I have read about was that from the President (who is home in Davao for the weekend) to his family (the mayor and vice mayor) though even that may be some reporter's skewed idea of realistic reporting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, A General Alert should have been made but of course "D" junior was only thinking about the Egg on his face but he was wrong. Was he Not? being the VC is not just about sitting in a Big Office it is about Following "DAD" and doing the right thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warnings are put out but even most of the news don't post them... Can't blame the mayor's office... Blame the media who are to busy complaining about the "unfair" treatment to the national drug industry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but he made the Admission that he did not want to be criticized again, Maybe he will be quiet next time, How can People really look up to him now when he seems weak? Not going to spend a lot of time on this but we all know what would be said if this was happening in our own Country.
