Earlier this week, I herad there had been problems in Iligan

Yesterday I heard there had been a bombing at the Gaisano mall in Iligan


But I have seen nothing about it anywhere.

Does this mean

1, it didn't happen, and the reports are ficticious
2, it is being held back so that people don't know about it

or 3, just that news is slow to get around.

It is really sad, hay....it would have been better if the government did not do anything (No BJE)! Most of the things the government have done recently are full of controversies and scams....and mostly were not well studied.:doh

It did happen. I guess, they ( media, gov) just do not want to make the people panic, evacuate etc.
