Fourth day in State of Emergency
It’s now four days since the President declared Proclamation 1017 (State of National Emergency) and everything from an attempted coup, a raid of local newspaper Daily Tribune, arrests of prominent anti-government figures and a stand off in Fort Bonifacio has mucked the celebration of People Power.
Classes in all levels within the metro are suspended today (Monday). There is still heavy police and military presence in major roads including EDSA (Ortigas), South Luzon Tollway (Nichols), North Luzon Tollway (Balintawak) and roads leading to the Airport (NAIA).
Avoid the following areas which have barricades or are blocked – Fort Bonifacio (heading to Nichols), Mendiola and Malcanang, People Power Monument and EDSA shrine Ortigas.
my cousin recently received word from her NPA cohorts that some of their people were going to penetrate “a camp” now fort boni didn’t really come to mind when i heard their blah but at that exact same night, it seemed that the camp they were referring to was fort boni. it was easy to appear like a civilian that night and slip in with the boisterous media freaks and plant an explosive device. but of course, it was made difficult coz… it’s a camp with soldiers, meaning there are supposed to be firearms inside! And my neighbor was all frightened why there were soldiers and firearms on TV. in the words of poveda studes, gosh, it’s a friggin’ military camp!
