What's going on?

Allow me to veer away from posts about teaching and my life here in the US. It is disturbing to know that schools in Metro Manila are closed because of a coup attempt. I received an email from a friend which prompted me to check on inq7.net. True enough, something's going on. This is the way people are celebrating Edsa. I can only sigh and be sad on the plight of the Philippines. It is just one thing after another. Tsk..Tsk
