Metro Manila on Full Alert

I was having my last sip of my late afternoon Barako when I nearly fell off my seat again. The AFP just placed the entire Metro Manila on full alert.

What? So fast naman. National Capital Region Command Major General Fojas revealed that the military has reportedly monitored elements of the Jemaah Islamiya, Abu Sayyaf and the MILF a few weeks prior to the Metro and Mindanao bombing attacks which so far killed twenty or so people already.

If Fojas statement is true, then, why the hell did they allowed these people to roam around the Metropolis? Why did they not arrest these terrorists? Fojas even said that three to four people, all members of this regional terror group J.I. were spotted shortly before these bombing attacks.

Fojas should be castigated by the military leadership for saying such hogwash. He knows very well that such an opportunity to spot terrorists comes once in a lifetime. Fojas knows that he can very well arrest these people under the Anti-Terror or Human Security Act.

Maybe these full alert are part of the grand scheme to condition the minds of the public for a full declaration of martial law.

I need to light my other cigarettes. This thing is getting pretty serious ah.
