NOW - Swat Teams storm Peninsula Hotel - Manila!!!
 

Holy fuck, anyone see the live footage on Al Jazeera TV? Wow.

Still going on... machine gun fire, tank outside... right in the heart of Makati.

Keep your head down Manila peeps. Watch them stray bullets.

JESUS... they just drove a tank through the hotel lobby!!!!

Another coup plot foiled.

is this for real?

I just saw a bit about it on the news

its kinda fucked no?

Yes. Unfortunately its true. Been watching for more than 5 hours. A Philippine senator with the former PI vice president occupied the Peninsula Hotel in PI's commercial capital of Makati City.

A curfew is now in effect in the PI from 12mn to 5am. I dont know what will the outsourcing companies (like iWeb and Prime) will do. Im aware that they are operating 24/7 not the add the dozens of call centers in PI thats also operating 24hrs. The police said that anyone who violated the curfew will be arrested.

But the siege is finished and the Senator and former Vice President were already arrested. But the tension is still high. Police are getting so paranoid that they are arresting even the media staffs.

I hope all this mess will be in the direction of porn legalization in PI LoL

I LOL'D:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Guess it's over.

For now.

Hell yeah it is.

"Rebel leader Antonio Trillanes, a navy lieutenant who was elected as a Senator in May while still on trial for a failed 2003 coup , was taken to prison along with another of the rebellion's leaders, Brigadier General Danilo Lim"


just for the record - it's not me

trillanes did it again, remember a few years back when he started this kind of stuff and not another one today.

Geez... lotsa police outside... its almost 12mn here

Business as usual...for both the Government and those working

Yeah, a curfew is still on today. 3:22am here. Hopefully it will be lifted as soon as the sun shines.
