Now we have an even bigger problem. Terrorists are bombing commercial buildings. Last Tuesday, someone threw a bomb right in front of the Great Pacific Life Assurance Corp. The good thing was that no one was killed or injured and there was minimum damage to property. The bad news is that it happened in a building in Makati’s main commercial center. This is sure to make foreign businessmen think twice before investing in the Philippines.

The amount, though substantial, is not nearly enough to cover potential liabilities to holders of the traditional or open-ended plans. But it is a start.
