What’s with Gaisano Mall’s 4th Floor?
SOMETHING must be done by Gaisano mall management and the City Government to prevent people from jumping off the fourth floor of the mall in light of the latest “high jump” incident that injured a 39-year-old male said to be caught on the throes of depression.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to make a Hotline for depressed people or loners of the society?
I believe giving depressed (more likely to commit suicide) people would appreciate having someone to talk to on their down moments, and to think that they are more likely to talk to someone they don’t know personally sometimes, makes this a good idea which I personally believe would help decrease the rate of suicide attempts in our country.
But there’s one thing I’d like to emphasize on this part. I guess the most effective way to cater this idea is to make this entirely for FREE, as long as they have a phone or cellphone, coz otherwise, it would be useless. There have been radio stations doing it, though only by segments which runs for 1-3 hours only, and they are able to help.
If radio stations can do it, then why cant the govt do the same? right?
