Stampede

A stampede broke out early Saturday morning outside the Ultra stadium in Pasig City where thousand had lined up to watch a popular game show, killing dozens of people and injuring several others.

About 30,000 people were lured to join the game show's anniversary celebration becuase of the big prizes, like cars and money at stake. Some had even lined up for two days to get tickets.

Senator Richard Gordon, chairman of the Philippine National Red Cross, who led the crowd control operation, blamed the poor organization of the event for the tragedy.

" RedOctober " < > So, ABS-CBN offered amicable settlements for the stampede victims! For the family and the victims of the stampede, this is their only recourse. We are talking about these poor people who cannot even afford three meals a day! Where are they going to find the money to pay their lawyers if they decide to file the case against ABS-CBN? In the country like the Philippines, no lawyers would like to take your case to court if you have no money! Justice is only for the wealthy! Pro-Deo lawyers are unheard of in the Philippines: ironic enough for a country whose 70% of the population is living under the poverty-line! So, who can blame the victims and their families if they will opt for this solution? At least, ABS-CBN said that they will pay the victims! That is already a fair proposition!

" Jazzy " < jaz_bgs@yahoo.com > Tunay ngang kahirapan ang nagbunsod sa kapatid nating nasawi sa Stampede sa Ultra ang walang sawang umasa sa mga biglaang biyaya. Ugat ng kahirapan... tunay na maraming naapektuhan. Ngunit hindi ko lubos maisip na bakit kailangan ng mga kapatid nating ito na magbuwis pa ng buhay na ang hangad lamang ay isang kaginhawaan.

Ang programang naging tulay sa mga pangyayaring ito ay tunay na nakakatulong NGUNIT ang sistemang kanilang ginawa ay hindi makatao. Una dahil makikita ang kapabayaan dito. Pangalawa makikita natin na tinatakam ng programang wowowee ang mga tao sa kuwarta! Sino ba namang taong naghihirap ang hindi aasa sa pinagmamayabang nilang kuwarta?!

Magandang programa sana ngunit kulang sa respeto ng kapwa natin Pilipino.
