Gunfire and explosions have been heard at the Resorts World Manila in the Philippines, CNN Philippines reported. Police, fire trucks and SWAT teams were seen in the area at about 1:30 a.m. local time Friday. Resorts World Manila, also known as RWM, is a resort complex in Newport City with numerous hotels, restaurants and bars. Tourists flock to the RWM for its casino, shopping mall, cinema and theater. The complex, which is described on RWM's website as "the first and largest integrated resort in the Philippines," is located across from Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The Philippines has been grappling with incidents of terrorism, especially on the southern island of Mindanao. There, in the city of Marawi, government forces have been battling ISIS-linked militants for control of the city. The battle for Marawi, a largely Muslim city, has displaced at least 70,000 residents and left 140 people dead. The terrorist siege unfolded last week as Muslims worldwide began to mark the holy month of Ramadan.

Those fricking right-wing Christian Baptists just won't let up on their savagery.

Everybody calm down. It's just the resort's new themed restaurant.

One of the seemingly most overlooked wild terrorist acts in the last 10 years.

I bet 90% of the people I mention it to don't even know it happened.

Truly crazy stuff.

More peace and love.

Time to go to war against them just like they are against everyone else.

The people of the Philippines are truly some of the nicest and happiest people I have met. I hate to see this.

Truth.

A terrorist act in the Philippines used to be a kidnapping and the victim would eventually be released unharmed and weigh more than when they were napped.
