bows00 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Just got word that a gunman opened fire in Manila. I have a friend (first time in the Philipines) staying near the airport at the Hyatt City of Dreams. Any word on the latest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reboot Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 A bunch of tourists injured, I am reading. Filipino tourism will probably take a big hit. These animals want to destroy the economy and ruin the livelihoods of millions. Martial is coming I predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Old55 Posted June 1, 2017 Forum Support Posted June 1, 2017 Lots of reporting here in the States no facts, typical. Praying this will not become a major incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert k Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I was thinking of delaying my return to the Philippines but now seems like a good time to get a flight. I have got to accelerate my plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reboot Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Not enough of a reason to change plans in my opinion. Manila has 20 million people or so. You're a lot more likely to get run over by a jeepney. Not too long ago, one of these types shot up a gay nightclub in Orlando. Does that mean gay people should avoid Disneyworld? Or what about Paris? We'll always have Paris.

earthdome Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 This is Resorts World right across the street from NAIA Terminal 3. I have stayed at the Remington Hotel next to it many times and have been to the casino next door where the gunman is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthdome Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Had a quick note from my wife's younger brother. He is PNP and posted to Manila. He is at Resorts World right now. Not sure what his role is, he has only been on the PNP for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
