Makati Standoff: Coup d'etat?

The standoff in Makati has ended. A lot of my friends and learners (I teach English to French, Italians, Germans) had been texting and emailing me about it. Well, it's nothing serious, really. Antonio Trillanes IV had been arrested, together with his cohorts. There's a curfew until 12MN today, just to stabilize the situation. It will be business as usual by tomorrow.

Couldn't Trillanes have chosen one of the sleazier hotels or why not the motels in pasig? I'm sure there are secret passageways and escape routes there!
