BOMB IN EL NIDO, PHILIPPINES; WE'RE FINE



Short story is, there was a small bomb blast yesterday in the beach town of El Nido, where we're currently staying. We're fine. More from the local news can be found here.


Reports are that a local militant group planted an explosive device in a trash can in front of a building in town. Tourists we spoke to this morning had no idea anything happened yesterday, and out on Bacuit Bay, tour boats are operating as normal. 


 For what it's worth, we're steering clear of town and catching a bus out tomorrow.


We'll post an update or two between now and then.
