INQUIRER.NET has launched the Makati Standoff special site to cover the situation in the Peninsula Manila Hotel, where Senator Antonio Trillanes IV has holed up with supporters.
Trillanes is calling on the Filipino people to withdraw their support from the government of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The authorities have asked him to surrender peacefully.

i don’t know about any of you but i think trillanes and lim are both sickos! they are wack jobs! it was all over CNN and BBC yesterday and while watching it, i was fuming mad! being a filipino, there’s nothing worse than seeing your own country being destroyed by idiotics “idealistic kuno” individuals.

the country is in great jeopardy! amidst of two devastating typhoons that hit the country the irresponsible acts of this Trillanes doesnt earn him the right to be called a senator! instead of helping the victims of the calamities, the MAGDALO group and the two BISHOPS where not helping the stability of the country! if we were in the medieval era or even just 50 years ago they would have and should have been executed right then and there. Its very sad for FILIPINOS who voted for TRILLANES in the past election coz he just truly betrayed those who believed in him. this is not the right time to raise arms against the government who is trying its best to help rebuild the economy and stability of the country and its international image! I have been traveling all around the world trying to tell people i met along the way how beautiful our country is just to help in my own little way the tourism effort. But this selfish people are trying to ruin the efforts of simple filipinos like me in helping rebuilding the image of the Philippines. I am very relieved that i did not vote for this guy for senate, TRILLANES and company are NOT HELPING THE ECONOMY, with thier actions THEY DROVE AWAY THE INVESTORS WHO COULD HELP CREAT JOBS FOR THE MANY UNEMPLOYED FILIPINOS, They SCARED away the tourists at the Peninsula who will be telling their friends back to their respective countrie the traumatic experience they had in the Philippines thus putting down the chances of more visiting tourist to the country……. I JUST WISH THEY DID SOMETHING GOOD TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE, it just shows that Trillanes and Company are a bunch of selfish trouble makers! FILIPINOS ARE TIRED OF THIS POWER GRABBING
