This post is way late...
Last Saturday more than 70 people died because of a stampede at the Philsports Arena (pop name ULTRA), in Ortigas, MM. The thousands who had amassed at the venue were anticipating to be part of the 1st anniversary of Wowowee, a noontime game show that give millions away to participants in cash & material possessions. The space could only accomodate 17k but nobody seemed willing to go home even after that fact was made known. Once the doors opened people rushed in. There are varied versions of how the chaos started... But it was a sad day for abs-cbn... I pray that finger-pointing will not continue & that those, who are grieving will find pesce in God.
