Yes, But There be Work Tomorrow?

Last night there were rumours of a coup, so a bunch of people decided to hold a vigil in EDSA. Turns out they should've been watching Makati, because that's where 200+ soldiers (from 10 to 20 to 50 guys, now this) went this morning and lined up the Oakwood Hotel with explosives (though they let the civilians out first).

It's now 7:30 in the evening, 2 and a half hours into the extended deadline given by the president to the rogue soldiers. Suffice to say no one's leaving Makati City yet, not that anyone went, since the soldiers took over Glorietta, as well. Hope they don't destroy the bookstore.
