We're ready to die here, Magdalo men say

(Updated 3:17 p.m.) On the eve of the government-imposed "deadline" for their surrender, military sympathizers of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Brigadier Gen. Danilo Lim said Thursday expressed readiness to fight to the very end. "No, we won't leave. We're ready to die here," one soldier standing guard at the Manila Peninsula told GMA News. However, Marine Capt. Gary Alejano, a core leader of the Magdalo group, was not as adversarial. "Hindi kami makikipagpatayan dito (We're not here to kill each other)," Alejano said. Alejano said their reason for going to the hotel was "to push for change." Asked what this "change" meant, Alejano said that, "a change of leadership would be dependent on the people." - GMANews.TV
