Pinklawans RECKLESSLY ENDANGER Lives By Lighting Candles Near PETRON GASOLINE STATION In Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City!
I must admit that this is SHEER IDIOCY. Here's a photo taken from CNN Philippines. I must confess that the idiocy here is totally hideous. There's no problem of them forming a human chain IF they were a rather safe location. However, they decided to light candles in what should be a very dangerous place. That's namely a GASOLINE STATION in Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. It could be understood if they lit the candles IN A CHURCH or IN AN OPEN SPACE. But a gasoline station? My feelings are mixed with ANGER, FEAR, and LAUGHTER. Anger and fear is normal because they could've caused a great explosion. Laughter because these guys are really lacking common sense. Though, thankfully, no explosion happened yet since they weren't near the gasoline tanks.
I was thinking about the scientific absurdity behind this move. I'm not good in physics though I could at least understand BASIC PHYSICS. Here's a bit of physics without the higher forms of maths (calculus, trigonometry) to explain it. I don't need to use basic calculus (though calculus can account for the force if ever an explosion happened) to explain the absurdity of the Pinklawan "prayer crusade". However, a basic fact of science is that gasoline vapor is DENSER than air. In short, an explosion is possible if the vapors are lit by a spark or a flame. Seriously, did the Pinklawans even think about that when they lit candles NEAR A GASOLINE STATION?
I remembered a lot of times when I go driving or when I ride a car. There are signs of gasoline-carrying trucks that says, "NO SMOKING WITHIN 50 FEET." The answer is too obvious because of its flammability. I didn't originally understand the 50 feet distance until this idiotic incident made me understand it. Obviously, the gasoline vapor can reach up to that mile. Are those idiots even more than 50 feet apart fro the Petron gasoline station? The mind boggles with the neglect of that one simple rule that could've burned Quezon City in flames. There are SO MANY gasoline stations there that you can expect Quezon City to go sky high if an explosion happened. Just remember the Tianjin explosion is already bad enough. Do you want Quezon City to end up like Tianjin?
Whether we want to admit it or not - Leni Loud Robredo isn't FOLLOWING SIMPLE GUIDELINES. The joyride for Leni Loud followed by Leni Loud's lugaw campaign are also idiotic. Not to mention there was also this IDIOTIC rationale for rallying. Pasaway "thought leader" Gerry Cacanindin doesn't only endorse Leni Loud - he also called people to RALLY. Gerry even goes as far as to claim that the Black Lives Matter rallies (daw) didn't lead to a surge in COVID-19. Jover Laurio, another pasaway "thought leader", even invited people to do a mananita gathering last June 12, 2020, in the University of the Philippines-Diliman Campus. The UP-Diliman campus and all UP campuses really need a serious cleanup because the schools are meant for NATIONAL SCHOLARS - not communist rebels!
I guess the saying that those on top influence those on the bottom. Leni Loud has been recklessly acting and disregarding social protocols. True, Leni Loud doesn't throw tantrums like President Rodrigo R. Duterte does. However, Leni Loud's carelessness (along with her followers) are putting people in danger. The Pinklawans' credibility is buried even more by that incident!

Thought leaders? More like thot leaders.
