After last year’s hostage-taking drama that caught worldwide attention, Philippines is once again in the limelight.
When I arrived home yesterday afternoon, I went over my usual routine—doing some personal stuff that need not be mentioned and logging in to my social networking accounts. I got pretty surprised when I checked my Twitter timeline. It was flooded with tweets from @inquirerdotnet, @ABSCBNnews. @ANCalerts, and other news organizations and personnel. Something really big made it to the headlines.

Updates about the terrifying incident appeared on my timeline one after another.
Here are some news tidbits that I got first-hand from Twitter. (Segue: one particular thing I like about Twitter is getting updated about the latest buzz about all facets of life—politics, current events, show business, etc.).
DZIQ: Bus blast toll now at 5 dead (http://goo.gl/fb/UP1RN)
Two men planted bomb in Newman Goldliner bus—police(http://goo.gl/fb/RyloM)
MILF denies any part in EDSA bus bombing, calls it satanic(http://goo.gl/fb/Bps2w)
DZIQ: Bus blast victim’s final call (http://goo.gl/fb/wVW0V)
For the nth time, Philippines’ (already) scarred face gets more blemished. But, as always, there are better days for us.
A perfect song to inspire everyone.
PRAY by Justin Bieber
I sympathize to all those who lost their loved ones and I pray for a fast recovery of those who got injured.

You might wonder who Maximo Peligro is. Well, despite the unfortunate incident, some Filipinos still found humor from it... and that would be the bizarre coincidence of the driver's name and the ill-fated event. " "Maximo Peligro" literally means Maximum Danger/Risk.
When people heard about the driver's name, their immediate reaction was so "Grey's Anatomy"...
"SERIOUSLY?"
