During yesterday's brouhaha on the 'Wowowee Tragedy' where about 70 people died due to a stampede, there was not a shortage in saying that 'nobody wanted this to happen', or 'we did not want any of this to happen'. bad news, folks: IT DID.
By this time, the government task force to investigate this tragedy is in action, asking anyone and everyone who might be responsible for the man-made disaster. ABS-CBN, the producing network of the program, claimed responsibility and promised to pay for hospital and funeral bills; and they should, because in the first place, this sad event should never have happened if it were not for the inanity, stupidity, and incompetence of all those involved in the production and planning of the event.
Firstly, it is fully laughable that a giant network like ABS-CBN would be responsible for a negligent act such as this. They're the almighty ABS-CBN, for chrissakes! This sort of thing never happened to giant networks like them. Probably to NBN and IBC, yes, but ABS? Never! My point is that if the production had the correct system, cooperation, and coordination with their people involved, the tragedy should never have happened.
Next, let me just state that the unruly audience which suffered the commotion does not share the blame here. Our countrymen are already suffering because of poverty, and nobody can ever blame them if they wish to win a million pesos within the blink of an eye; for they will never ever earn even half of that million in their whole lives even if they tried.
Negligence. Greed. Inanity. Incompetence. Stupidity. All in one morning.
Here we have a case of 71 people sacrificed needlessly for the sake of profit and TV ratings; and ABS-CBN is claiming reponsibility. AS well they should. They are the ones responsible here more than anyone else.
