We don't know when classes resume on site. We're instructed to hold classes online. It's safer than on site because of the insurgency problem Mindanao is facing. There's bombing incident in Mindanao State University, Marawi city, 11 died on the spot and 50 seriously damaged. It happened inside the university campus. Mindanao the region where we live is on RED ALERT. The ISIS strike back and sent messages to people that there will be civil war during the RAMADAN celebration. What kind of celebration is that when the intention is to kill? The military officials in Mindanao and in the entire Philippines instruct people to stay away from malls in house of worship and any gathering to avoid the bomb threat. It's Christmas time but full of problems indeed 2023 is bad year.

Islamic extremism is a problem everywhere it seems. That is tragic that it happened where you are.

@AmbiePam ,MSU Marawi is located in the southern part of Mindanao. It was the same place all-out war was declared there during the Duterte administration and they are back.

I also heard the news. I felt bad that these people are starting to give us fear.

@Shavkat, they're useless animals. They must be eliminated in planet Earth. They play havoc to humanity. I pity those young college students in MSU Marawi. I saw them on TV 11 killed on the spot and 50 plus seriously wounded.

@wolfgirl569, as much as possible. There were series of aftershocks here. There should be no earthquake.

@FourWalls, it is not all parts of the Philippines, it is only in Mindanao.
