I could not imagine the faces of people running into different direction and away from the bombing which struck Iligan City around 1:45 this afternoon.

We were then plying the Quezon Avenue en route to the reported place and since we can not directly proceed due to the heavy traffic, however, we maneuvered our way and entered the route which is supposedly a one way traffic only passing the nearby Jerry’s Bargain Center which is more or less around 30 to 40 meters away from the Uni city where the first blast occur. I was then supposed to park my motorcycle in front of the said establishment when as if something pushed me to go nearer at the site where the first blast happened, thus, instead of having my motorcycle park at Jerry’s Bargain Center, I had it park in the opposite side of the road fronting the PLDT Office. Subsequently, around 30 seconds had just lapse after which I had my motorcycle park – when suddenly another blast erupted again and this time it was at the baggage counter of Jerry’s Bargain Center, the place where I supposed to have been park earlier. I was really speechless because had it not been for something that made me move forward then probably, we were among of those being hospitalized or being put into wake by now. As of this writing so far, 45 were now in different hospitals aside from those being brought into nearby cities and two (2) were confirmed dead,

I did like the article really much, was really informative and the best part was that only the required part was elaborated, to the point concise information always helps and keeps readers running around digging for the information’s will never require a reread.
