Manila News Today: Car Blast at The Fort Under Investigation

 

There was a car explosion that rocked Taguig City this afternoon that burned the driver inside the car to a crisp.  The blast happened in the Fort Bonifacio Global City near Serendra and right across the Fully Booked bookstore in Bonifacio High Street (BHS).

The authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion.  Speculations abound that the blast involves foul play.  No indication yet from police reports.

Saturdays are meant for sleeping in until noon.  Not last Saturday though.  The day started early and we were at the Fort by 9AM. W-H-Y?

Last May 2, 2009, starting 12 noon, Manny Pacquiao fans and supporters get the chance to purchase Pacman’s limited apparel during this one day only event.  The most popular item in the Manny Pacquiao pop up store was the Nike Trainer 1, which retailed at PHP 5,209.  

The Manny Pacquiao pop-up store one-off event was held at Magnet Café Bonifacio High Street.  Magnet Café is 2 doors away from the Nike branch store at the Fort.  Limited pairs were also made available at Nike Park BHS the next day.

 

 

What we were interested in was the Manny Pacquiao windbreaker that has the Philippine flag design.  When we got there though, there were about 80 people in line already, who supposedly camped out just to get their hands on the items.  3 hours of waiting… and there was no guarantee that when the store opens at 12nn, there would be stocks left.  As much as we wanted to purchase the windrunners, I just didn’t have the patience to wait that long.    

 

Cheers to those who were able to buy what they went there for!!!  I’m green with envy.
