There was an explosion at the Glorietta Mall today at approx 1:30 pm local time. That mall is just a few miles from here and we do go there regularly.
In the big scheme of things it was a very minor event although it's been playing in the news here for hours and relatives from all over the world are calling and texting to check on us.
It was first reported as an LPG gas explosion but that has not been confirmed until the investigation is complete.

We were in Mandaluyong at the time and were not involved.
