Illigan, the next large town / small city you come to as you move west along the coast of Mindanao from Cagayan De Oro had two bombs go off there last night. I've heard more than a couple of foreigners ponder or espouse the benefits of living in Illigan. Not me, thank you.
That reminds me: I've often wondered why Cagayan De Oro has never seen any terrorist attacks. Now I have my answer, given to me in hushed voices behind cupped hands by a couple of people who claim to know. I'll beat around the bush: The Mayor of Cagayan De Oro is purported to possess special magical powers that keep the terrorists away from his city.

It's nice to have special magical powers. It behooves people who live on Mindanao to live in places where mayors have such abilities. :)
