During the last day, rebels in the capital of the Philippines, Manila, has taken the Glorietta Shopping Center in the heart of the city and has rigged it bombs. This can also be considered a coup de etat and is greatly denounced by the government. The standoff ended but the future of the nation is still up in the air in uncertainty and the fog of confusion.
