Hmmm....well according to the report I found on TV5's Interaksyon news site, Defense and Armed Forces officials began proclaiming the end of the 20-day Zamboanga standoff with all hostages freed and MNLF rebels captured and confined to a military controlled "constriction" areas. In a televised report from PTV, Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin declared this 20-day siege finished.
Over the course of the stand-off by the numbers for now, 194 hostages were freed, 18 soldiers and 5 policemen died on the stand off, 167 soldiers and 14 policemen were wounded. Civilian casualty is 9 dead with 57 injured civilians.
Based on the military reports, 52 MNLF rebels were surrendered, 223 were captured, and 100 are killed.
That maybe the case but...is the siege over?
