Bayan Muna today reiterates its strong condemnation of the Glorietta 2 Mall bombing in Makati City even as it decries efforts to link Administration critics to the terrorist act.
Yesterday, members of the media called up the mobile number of the person calling himself Sheik Omar of the Raja Sulaiman Movement, who has admitted responsibility for the attack. To their surprise, the call was diverted to the mobile phone of Rep. Ruffy Biazon of Muntinlupa.
This morning, members of the media again called up Omar’s alleged number but the call was again diverted, this time to the mobile phone of Mr. Robert de Castro, a Bayan Muna official working in the party’s national headquarters in Quezon City.
It seems that the person calling himself Sheik Omar and his group are maliciously employing high technology deception by diverting calls to them to cellphone numbers of known political personalities and then feeding their numbers to media reporters and, possibly, government investigators.
The people behind this effort may be doing this in vain attempts to mislead the investigation, confuse the public, or worse, set up innocent people like Rep. Biazon or Mr. de Castro.
Again, we ask, who can possibly benefit from this act of violence against innocent civilians? Who has the means, opportunity and motive to commit such a dastardly act? Who are possibly behind efforts to link the incident to the Left and other government critics?
We hope investigators do not ignore the most obvious angle for the bombing, which is that it may have been done to divert public attention away from the current scandals hounding the President and at the same time worsen the political crisis in order to justify some form of strong arm rule.
Once again, we call on the authorities to make sure it is the real perpetrators of the Glorietta bombing that should be caught, prosecuted and punished.
