32 kids are taken hostage by the owner of a day-care center in downtown Manila.

I turned on the TV as I started making breakfast, and they were showing a man holding a grenade in his hand, inside the bus where the kids were being held. As it turned out, it was the governor, and he had taken one of the grenades that the kidnapper had removed the pins. The governor then managed to talk the kidnapper into replacing the pins in both grenades, and turning himself into the authorities who were waiting just outside the bus.

What struck me was, all the adults waiting for the kids stayed right there, no matter that the grenades could have exploded.

I thank God that these children were saved.
