Trillanes lay siege to a hotel, not to a whole city and twelve neighboring provinces. Putting all of the latter under curfew is overreaching — but one must overreach to push the envelope.

That’s exactly what Gloria’s doing tonight: pushing the envelope.

The strangest thing is, right now, outside my office, there’s a street party going on; which hints a bit on how little the middle classes responded to Senator Trillanes’ call. If the government does hound the Left again, I pray that the middle class will not be as indifferent.

God bless.

I wonder what’ll happen tomorrow. After all, its November 30 and the Left (the NDs, SDs and every other stripe) is sure to mobilize for it (like they do each year).

The images this afternoon were not particularly savory for the admin – an overkill on the part of State forces: tank ramming hotel lobby, media handcuffed, bishop, priest, and former vice president also arrested.

I don’t know, but I have a feeling its not over. Malacanang extended the curfew to Central Luzon and Southern Tagalog (which are both bailiwicks of the Left).

Apart from blocking possible renegade troop movements, it could be partly in preparation for tomorrow’s protest action.
