blows my mind as i’ve checked email in the lovely free wifi lobby of the peninsula, and have done some limited wandering around ortigas/makati. and there is some deep-ass security before you enter the hotel. am reminded of why.

so this is shocking. you sound nonchalant, so i conclude you’re well (and inured to this, unlike me, the naive americano). hope you’re otherwise not affected and things resolve nonviolently.
