As the adage tells us, when it rains it pours and right now, right here, it is one hell of a storm. The NPA (Maoists) are still blowing shit up all over the place and now Abu Sayyaf, the MILF and the MNLF have joined the circle jerk as well. The Filipinos are so cute.; for "fighters" they use 1960s-era OV-10 Broncos. They can't fly worth a shit and often drop their load in the wrong places. So far they have been hitting the mark but I admit, hearing them roar (you hear them before you see them) does give me pause. I don't want to end up as two short sentences on ppA23 of the Tuesday New York Times.
Got those shotguns and I admit I really fucked up given the price of even conventional shot gun rounds and the inability to carry many of them around. Still great piece and I have personally having a ball shooting dragons breath and bolo rounds. I didn't know that dragons breath rounds are problematic in automatic shotguns! When you chamber, the previous round pops hard out of the side and with these rounds the shells spit a bit of flame for a milisecond or so after firing so that if someone is to the right of you as you are firing on auto they risk serious injury. Anyway, it isn't like I was gonna give super-expencive rounds to the men walking the line. Next time around I will switch back to assault rifles. A friend of my father in law is arranging a meeting with a manufacturer in Danao.
The municipality of Danao, on Cebu Island, a 20 hour sail north of Mindanao (or 45 minutes by plane) has a homegrown weapons industry. When I had gone to Peshwar in Pakistan there was a town in the north, inside the NW Tribal Zone, where they could make just about any short or long arm you wanted, even from photos. I was very impressed. Come to find out a few years ago that the same thing takes place on Cebu.
A 45 caliber pistol, legal, will cost you 600 US new here. Getting it manufactured in Danao runs about 90 US. AR15s are all the rage because Flips love M16s, or as they call them, "Armalites." They even had a legal factory manufacturing them on liscence for awhile. Getting one manufactured now on Danao costs 240 US BUT IF you buy it in bulk you can get it as low as. 160 US depending on the quantity. We are setting up an appointment to talk though I really don't want to go up to Cenu, G-D forbid I might run into Rizza in Cebu City.
On the Kidnap tip, a 14 year old girl, a 30-something woman and a 5 year old boy were grabbed in different kidnappings locally this week, just a fun place. I have behun considering taking out a a Ransom Policy. Certain insurers sell such policies, the good ones include negotiators but I don't see any advantage. My loved ones know the territory better than some Westerner who of course will make the negotiations drag out as he tries to get the ransom lowered since it comes out of his firm's bottom line.
Another Italian priest was murdered this past week. These dummies involve themselves in local political issues, is it any wonder? Father Fausto Tentorio bit the bullet, literally.
I have been watching some crazy shit on Youtube in my offtime. I t is called "Retarded Policeman," and it has a Down Syndrome guy dressing like a cop and then having him pull cars over. The shit is so stupid but makes you piss none the less. I have also been watching "The Guild," a Youtube series of shorts about an online gaming crew, its pretty funny also but not nearly as much as "Retarded Policeman."
