A little history you might don't know during those times that happened on our country.
The 2004 SuperFerry 14 bombing on February 27, 2004, was a terrorist attack that resulted in the sinking of the ferry SuperFerry 14 and the deaths of 116 people in the Philippines' deadliest terrorist attack and the world's deadliest terrorist attack at sea. Six children less than five years old, and nine children between six and 16 years of age were among the dead or missing, including six students on a championship team sent by schools in northern Mindanao to compete in a journalism contest.
On 14 February 2005, bombs exploded almost simultaneously at a bus terminal in Davao and outside the Gaisano Mall in General Santos. Half an hour later, at about 7:30 p.m., a third bomb exploded on a bus in the Makati section of Manila, under the Ayala station of the elevated Manila Metro Rail Transit System and near the InterContinental Hotel, where President Arroyo and her family were to have been dining to celebrate Valentine's Day. At least nine people were killed and more than 100 injured (some sources say 11 deaths and at least 85 injuries, or twelve deaths and at least 144 injuries). Abu Sayyaf claimed responsibility, as it had for bombings the previous year including the SuperFerry 14 bombing in February 2004; a spokesman called the three explosions a "Valentine's Day gift to Mrs. Arroyo".
be careful on feb 14, and every day.
