Iligan City is on State of Calamity

While i am writing this post, i am also listening to the news from radio station here in Iligan City, they having coverage of the happenings in some towns of Lanao del Norte. Many civilians died of the attack of the MILF rebels in municipality of kolambugan, kauswagan and maigo started early dawn today. Some of the houses were burned and shot some animals like carabao and horses. Some of the people living in kauswagan area are evacuates now here in Iligan City National High School for their safety and some are at Buru-un, Fisheries School. And those from kolambugan and maigo went to Ozamis City. I am worried because my uncle, my father's youngest brother and his wife are living at Maigo. When my mother called him he said that they're still at their place and will be ready to evacuate when they can't handle it. I have friends who is living also in Maigo and they are safety already because they are at Ozamis City now. President Arroyo declared an All-out War against the MILF rebels. While the local government here in Iligan declared that there will be a curfew hour in the city starting 10pm tonight till 5am in the morning. And there will be no classes tomorrow for all students in public and private schools. Iligan City is on state of calamity because of all the things happened since yesterday. Please let us all pray for peace especially in Mindanao.
