    Has anyone here read that unapproved comment at the very bottom? I think it's the funniest thing here. #funnyheadline

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: The NORTHERN part of the Philippines is devoutly Catholic. Mindanao is largely Muslim, and certain parts of it are "don't go there, whitey. That's Muslimtown". I've been there. #funnyheadline

    @raincoaster: oh yeah, i know- a lot of my friends are filipino/half, and they all come from Catholic families. he was a missionary, wasn't he? Anyway, I was just deliberately ignoring the 'Catholic in SE Asia=paedophile' subtext of above comment... #funnyheadline

    Out of the two major paramilitary groups out here, MILF is easily the less dangerous. Abu Sayaff are the really scary motherfuckers. #funnyheadline

    @Helio: Read more carefully, in fact MILF is implicated in the article as well. Quote: "Meanwhile, policemen arrested a leader of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) who was implicated in the 2007 ambush and beheading of Marines in Basilan."

    Um, yeah, it's hilarious if you don't actually know what's going on in the world around you. Also, when Brits say "Highness" it's not usually a drug reference.

    I KNOW, right? #funnyheadline

    @autoclavicle: If you read above, you'll see I've been there; not just Manila, the bits on Mindanao that are dangerous. I've been through MILF roadblocks and thank god the people with me vouched for me or I'd probably have made it on CNN as "Canadian blogger kidnapped" or something. At one point a local (Filipino) Baptist preacher had to walk me back to my hotel, telling me, "there are many places in the Philippines white people should not go, because they are dangerous."

    I said yes, I'd heard that.

    He said, "THIS is one of those places."

    And then he got twenty of his converts to surround me and my friend and walk us home. #funnyheadline

    @raincoaster: I've heard that a couple times in Manila proper, too. After the San Miguel HQ bombing last week, my hotel staff wouldn't even let me walk to 7-11 by myself.

    However, the fight is this weekend, so I'm sure it'll be quiet on Sunday, at least. #funnyheadline

    And this is why we must always set our "Christian Science Monitor Deflectors" to full power in order to avoid such misunderstandings..
