There were no immediate reports of injuries in Thursday night’s brief attack by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in Datu Piang town.

With all the extremely hard lockdowns, er martial law, under the guise of the Enhanced Community Quarantine, including police and military checkpoints, quarantine passes, hard curfews, and the loss of half the jobs (48%) in the Philippines, I can’t really blame them. Not wearing your mask or out past curfew, Duterte told the police just to shoot. There have been people (LSIs) stranded in Manila and Cebu since March, unable to get clearance to travel back to their homes.

Yeah, I actually do hope so too.

But he chose that path, so that’s out of our hands.
