Aftermath
National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Dir. Gen. Geary Barias officially stated on ANC’s Crossroads:
| “ | As of 8:00 this evening, we have accounted for eight casualties and 129 injured. They are scattered I think in two hospitals in Makati, | ” |
The day after the blast, normal operations continued in the Glorietta Malls after engineers inspecting the remaining parts of the mall found these structurally sound. Glorietta 2 remained closed, and some of the stores in the rest of the mall, mostly fast-food chains, remained closed.
On October 23, 2007, it was revealed on national television that closed-circuit TV cameras in the mall recorded actual scenes of the explosion. Camera 12 recorded scenes at the Glorietta 2 ground floor entrance, while Camera 10 recorded scenes of Glorietta 2's bookstore.
As part of the Ayala Center redevelopment, tenants of Glorietta 1 and 2 were given an option to relocate to the newly-constructed Glorietta 5; Glorietta 1 and 2 are to undergo reconstruction, with the addition of two office buildings and Holiday Inn & Suites Makati. Tenants accepted the option, moving them until January 1, 2010.
