There is another coup attempt (?) in progress here.
Several officers already on trial for a previous coup have escaped and are hold up in a hotel in Manila. The news is reporting that they have assault rifles and pistols and there have been shots fired in the hotel.
The local channels are giving the event full coverage even though nothing seems to be happening at the moment.
Here's the link.
I told my wife that this would be an outstanding opportunity to go get some photos and she just gave me "that look" of pity.
