THE Department of Justice has recommended the
filing of criminal charges against eight contractors of Ayala
Land Inc., who were held responsible for the Glorietta mall
blast that killed 11 people.
In a 51-page joint-resolution, the DOJ’s Task
Force Glorietta cleared ALI and its sub-company, Ayala
Properties Management Corp. (APMC) from liability on the ground

defraying the cost of medical bills and funeral expenses.
