Bus Explosion in Makati (and what was not reported)

I was discussing with my mom the bus explosion that happened outside Forbes yesterday. The news reported it as near the Buendia MRT station at a bus stop, but what they did not say (maybe cause it would have made a less endearing news report) was that it happened outside Forbes Park.

Just a month ago Mom, as Barangay Chairman of Dasmarinas Village, Makati had to rush to another bus stop, but outside the Dasma perimeter, along EDSA north bound lane right before Pasay Rd.

Apparently someone rushed out of a bus and dropped a bag outside the embassy of either Iran or some other middle eastern country along the EDSA-Dasma perimeter wall. Mom rushed to the site and had the Makati Bomb Squad called in. They detonated the bomb with the whole tire thing. Good job.

Now this explosion, using the similar bus stop method, just a few kilometers away from where ours happened, but this time outside Forbes.

Aren't we just the lucky targets. Or was ours just a test for the real thing? who knows! Oh well. Good thing no one was hurt with our bomb. Sad that people got hurt with yesterday's blast :(
