Sunod na sunod ang bombahan nitong mga nakaraang araw. Noong Martes lang, dalawang lugar ang binomba: sa Jolo, Sulu at sa Iligan, Lanao del Norte.
Noong Linggo, sa Cotabato City sa litsunan sa tapat ng simbahan.
Maraming namatay at madadagdagan pa ang bilang habang sinusulat ito dahil marami sa mga nasugatan ay grabe ang kalagayan.
When the third session of the 14th Congress opens on July 27, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV may be able to be part of it from his detention cell in Camp Crame via the modern technology of teleconferencing.
This could be the start of the realization of the mandate that the Filipino people bestowed on him when they voted for him senator despite the fact that he was in detention and a thorn in Gloria Arroyo’s neck.
But despite his incarceration, or some say because of it, he has come out to be one of the most prolific members of the Senate having authored and co-authored a total of 285 bills and 21 resolutions in the first two years of his six-year term, mostly in line with his advocacies as poverty alleviation, national defense and security, affordable and accessible health care and education, and environmental protection.
Update: More than two hours after the blast, another bomb went off in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte province around 10:40 a.m.
Police said the blast took place at the corner of Sabayle Street and Cabili avenue, in front of a lending firm. An Army jeep which was passing by the area, was hit in the explosion. At least six civilians have been reported injured in the incident.-ABS-CBN online
Update: Maj. Gen. Juancho Sabban, commander of Task Force Comet. said he believes the bombing in Cotabato City on Sunday and today’s blast in Jolo are unrelated. He points to the Abu Sayyaf as suspects in today’s blast as a diversionary tactic because of their intensified pursuit operations.
The suspect in last Sunday’s bombing is the MILF.
6 dead, scores wounded in Jolo blast

Six people were killed and more than 40 others were wounded in a bomb attack in the predominantly Muslim town of Jolo in Sulu province, Tuesday morning.
Sulu-based military spokesman Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo said an improvised explosive device exploded between a gasoline refilling station and a hardware store along Sanchez street in downtown Jolo around 7:50 a.m.
Tuwing tanghali, may misa sa Greenbelt para kay dating Pangulong Cory Aquino. Ito ay siyam na araw na novena na nagsimula noong Miyerkules.
Alam ko na maliban sa mga dumadalo sa misa, marami ang nagdadarasal kay Cory na ngayon ay maselan ang kalagayan dahil sa kanyang sakit na cancer of the colon.
Sinabi ni Deedee Siytangco, ang spokesperson ni Cory, na pinagpasiya na niya pagkatapos ng konsultasyon sa kanyang mga doctor at pamilya na hindi na ipagpatuloy ang chemotherapy. Inalis na siya sa Intensive Care Unit at nasa private room na siya. Ito ay para makakapiling niya ang kanyang mga mahal sa buhay.
From the office of Sen. Trillanes:
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV supported the public clamor for an election in 2010 by saying change under the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is ‘not possible.’
“Any illusions of change are simply not possible under the administration of GMA,” he said in a published annual report.
According to the same report, Trillanes was ranked sixth in the Senate for his 285 total bills on several advocacies as poverty alleviation, national defense and security, affordable and accessible health care and education, and environmental protection in only his second year in office.

The first text message I got yesterday morning was from a friend who forwarded a report from his friend in Cotabato City about a bomb that exploded in front of the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral in that city.
News reports later said that four were killed while some 50 people were injured. Three of the fatalities were identified namely Ruby Ramirez, 43, of Philippine Trade, Barangay Bulalo in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao, and owner of the lechon house where the bomb was planted; Prince Salem Cang Diaz, grand son of Patricio Diaz, former editor-in-chief of The Mindanao Cross, a local paper based in Cotabato City; Paulo Kahar.
Presidential Adviser for Mindanao Jess Dureza said “This is not an isolated case” referring to a series of bombings the past weeks. He called yesterday’s grim incident “murderous act of insanity” and “cowardly act of treachery and violence.”

Update: I thought we heard the last of Arroyo’s silicon breast implant with Malacañang’s admission but here’s the NBI entering the picture:
NBI probes ‘boob job’ leak
Si dating Pangulong Cory Aquino ay nasa maselang lagay dahil sa kanyang sakit na colon kanser at pinagdadasal natin bigyan siya at ang kanyang pamilya ng lakas sa pagsubok na dumadaan sa kanilang buhay.
Ito naman si Gloria Arroyo ang pinag-uusapan ng mga tao ay ang kanyang problema sa kanyang pekeng boobs.
Siyempre, katulad ng dati, kung ano-anong kuwento ang ginawa ng Malacañang. Nang nabuking na, saka nalang umamin.
