Arroyo orders review of security in RP

PHILIPPINES: President Gloria Arroyo on Tuesday ordered the
national police to review security measures in the Philippine
capital Manila and in nearby urban centers after a grenade attack
on an office building in the financial center.

Arroyo said Monday's attack on office building "indicates that
there may be security lapses that need to be addressed."

The attack by still unknown gunmen hit a building in Manila's
Makati financial district that once housed the offices of Petron
Corp., the country's largest oil refiner.

"We need to step up vigilance, active checkpoints and
community involvement," Arroyo said.

"Terrorists must not be given a single chance to exploit the
political and socio-economic situation," she said. --AFP
