Regarding alleged suicide at a Mandaluyong mall

Editor’s note:

We have decided to remove the story on the alleged suicide, for two reasons: We are not able to follow up on the story immediately, creating for some readers the misimpression that we were only interested in the “netizen” angle, and we have since reconsidered the original story itself. In time we will write a longer story on the incident as it deserves.
