Kaban ni D_BystandeR: KADANGHAG SA GOBYERNO SA PAGPASUNOD SA BALAOD, MIANI UG TRAHEDYA

This harshly worded article written by no less our very own Atty. JBJ, whose hard-hitting commentary awakens the people's indignation and consciousness that the government is not doing a lot to prevent this kind of frightening fire disaster that claimed the lives of something like 80 poor workers who were crammed to work inside the workplace with no fire exits that could allow them to move out of the conflagration. And this could probably be due to the employer's over reaction to their fears that providing fire exits could be used only by dishonest workers to ferret out stolen goods from inside their property undetected. But  they could prevent pilferage by hiring enough security guards to do the job for them. But the government agencies concerned required to periodically inspect the workplace if they were strictly following the guidelines for such kind and nature of workers in their company could have been blinded by the probable "bribe-money" to just look at the opposite direction as long as their pockets are full. These kind of government officers should be thoroughly investigated to determine up to what degree is their negligence to blame for that terrible fire disaster so that guilty parties are given the punishment they deserved to prevent a repetition  of this monstrous tragedy.
