Good morning, coup attempt

Or is it a coup attempt?
It’s probably the worst time to stage such an event, with everybody in school or at work. I got out of the library and some were already asking others whether school would be suspended. I am writing this, however, from an Internet cafĂ© near campus.
Being caught off-guard, is probably the worst feeling. This morning, however, I was told that the government is in a high alert in anticipation of something like this – and it did happen. Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, along with Brigadier General Danilo Lim and other soldiers in the Magdalo trial, walked out of the courts and went to the Manila Peninsula. Six hours later – just as I write – the standoff is over.
