The Guys4Mountains team is one in prayer for the safety of one of our members, Mariano Garchitorena. We hope and pray that he's no longer within the Peninsula Manila premises and is in safety.
Gunshots were heard outside the hotel minutes ago as the military readies to assaulting the hotel. Apparently those are warning shots signaling the exodus of all remaining hotel guests and media practitioners out of the sieged hotel.
The last live footages on the boob-tube shot within the vicinity picture the corner of Ayala and Makati avenues as a battlefield-- armed forces and police in full battle gears in assaulting stance, civilians and mediamen cover for safety. Read report from GMANews.TV.
I've always hated Philippine politics and politicians the reason why I always refrain from participating in any politics-related discussions and making comments to such. So I'm going to keep it this way, for the meantime.

An update:
I have not gotten in touch with Mariano, no response from him yet. But apparently, he should be out of Peninsula Manila today and tomorrow (Nov 29-30) as indicated in his out-of-office email responder which says:
"Thank you for your e-mail.
I will be out of the hotel Thursday and Friday, 29 - 30 November 2007, for a training and holiday leave respectively. In the meantime your e-mail has been forwarded to Ms. Grace Lim, our public relations secretary."
