In less than an hour, coordinated Abu Sayyaf uprisings from Davao to Manila and everywhere inbetween had the military government of the Philippines on its last legs. Insurgents stormed General Bak'la's compound and took him hostage. After fighting over the compound for several hours, the insurgents decided that it was not worth the trouple and surrendered. Upon opening the gates and allowing in the General's forces, the insurgents blew up the compound with fifty tonns of C4 they rigged up in the underground tunnels.
