INCREASE JAIL TERM FOR RECKLESSNESS There are different results of recklessness. But under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, particularly Article 365, prison terms for reckless imprudence resulting in a crime are watered down, no matter how gross is the resulting damage. The highest penalty for reckless imprudence is only 4 years and 2 months. The most common example of reckless example is homicide through reckless imprudence when a person is killed after being run over by a vehicle. The Glorietta blast on October 19, 2007, at 1:25 pm, killed 11 people and injured more than a hundred. Many, including this writer, suspected that this was the fault of Glorietta management. An LPG tank was suspected to be culprit but no result has been released as to what really happened. Now, the blast occurred at a condominium unit at Serendra at the Global City in Taguig. Three were killed and a few others were injured, including the unit owner. Authorities have been wondering why there has been no traces of explosive and they are looking at a big possibility it was caused by a gas leak inside the same unit. It was reported that Serenda units have gas outlets. The three persons killed were riding on a van that accidentally passed by the street beneath the unit where the explosion took place. Exactly while the van was passing by, it was smashed by a huge boulder of concrete wall falling from the unit where the explosion occurred. Witnesses saw that the van, including the engine, was flattened like a tin can. READ MORE: totocausing.blogspot/2013/06/increase-jail-term-for-recklessness.html
