Frustration....

Outside there are events unfolding, news stories being found and history being written...

and where am I...at work...

no TV access and having to rely on newspaper websites updating, the odd text message and blogs being updated (which isn't happening often enough as everyone else has better things to do) is all hugely frustrating.

I gather from my limited resources...thanks to Inq7 and Torn & Frayed that this is the sequence of events this evening...

The Commander of the Philippine Marine Corps Major General Renato Miranda was relieved of his duties...allegedly at his request citing "personal reasons"...someone please control those flying pigs...

Marines Colonel Ariel Querubin then calls for "People Power" to protest the 'relief' of Miranda....apparently text messages were being sent around the city telling people to go to Fort Bonifacio to support Miranda. Meanwhile Querubin was going to stay in the chapel at the military camp (Fort Bonifacio).

From what little I can gather from my colleagues...people are going to Fort Bonifacio, but not in large enough numbers.

The one "must read" of the last few days is MLQ3's post entitled A state of Panic.
