Curfews and Internet Clampdown

I know this is kinda paranoid already but several people have contacted me about erratic to no internet connection. Yes, there’s that 12 midnight to 5am police curfew imposed on the entire Mega Manila, but the internet? There’s also the detention processing of media people who were present during the siege at the Manila Peninsula Hotel. I’d like to believe that this knee-jerk reaction is nothing to be worried about. Anybody else having problems with their net connection? Couldn’t it be just net traffic congestion?

    feeling ko traffic congestion lng yun.

    hindi maka gimik ang tao. di maka labas. ano pa ba ang magandang pampalipas oras sa gabi pwera sa TV kundi ang internet.

    MY BayanDSL connection slowed down last night, at the height of the media arrest. I guess it’s just traffic. It’s okay now.

    Just to clarify. looks like Manolo has been gone from his blog a while. It hasn’t been updated in over a week.
