First, these bombing rumors circulating through text messages. At first I was not too keen to do a story about it since I don't want to stir panic. But what if these rumors turned out to be true? I would never be able to accept that I failed to warn the public. Good thing the office asked me to do the story.
The text warning, whose originator claimed to be a confidential agent of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), claimed bombs would be set off at 11 a.m. Saturday in either of five locations -- the Light Rail Transit station in Baclaran, the Tutuban Mall, the Uniwide store in Quiapo, the SM-Manila mall, or the Robinsons mall in Malate.

"Alam mo sa amin sa PNP at AFP pinapatulan namin lahat ng information but we have to validate them. Ongoing ang validation since last night," said Chief Superintendent Roberto Rosales, director of the Manila Police District.
Second, everything is just so confusing. Everybody's saying they hold the truth. I somehow believe Lozada and I regret not truly believing Police Director General Avelino Razon. Lozada said he was taken out of his will while Razon insisted Lozada himself asked for security. (click to view full story)
Having covered Razon for the over the past two years, I know how nice and true the guy is (one of the few policemen of such kind that I know). And if it's true he had been told to lie, I pity him. He's too good a man to destroy his credibility for a family like the A*****'s.
Next, there's former Commission on Elections chair Benjamin Abalos. I don't know the guy but his being too feisty when it comes to relating with the media is soooo annoying.
I called him up this morning after Rodolfo Lozada gave his opening statement at the Senate. And as expected, Abalos gave me the cold shoulder and even shouted at me. (click to view full story)
Lest I be shouted at again, I would have to wait for Lozada to finish so I can call Abalos.
Hay. I love my job. And I hate it at the same time. I need a break.
