It was the fourth day of our holiday in the Phillippines. My family and I looked forward to another day of adventure and enjoyment in this wonderful country. Since we stepped off our plane onto this city, it has never failed to amaze us. There were great food and friendly people everywhere we went. Our tour guide had promised to bring us to a place where we"ll never want to leave, the hundred island park national park. So after breakfast, the tour group, of about twenty people including my family, wasted no time getting onto the coach, and soon we were on our way to paradise.
The large brightly coloured bus whizzed down the highway, seemingly reflecting the enthusiasm of the passengers inside. Everyone was in high spirits as they discussed what kind of activities to do later on. Some dreamed of relaxing on the sandy white beaches in solitude, while others could not wait to explore the hidden caves and coves on the islands. .
About forty-five minutes into the journey, the trees in the landscape outside the window suddenly slowed to a stop. There was nothing at this section of road except for the endless stretch of trees on both sides of the highway. We were the only vehicle for miles around. It was the most unlikely place to stop for a toilet break. The tour guide and the bus driver got up and started talking hurriedly in their native tongue. We could only guess what was going on. .
Outside, a group of about 10 men gathered around the bus. Our puzzled faces started to fill with fear. Who were these masked men? They wore large torn shirts and long army pants stained with mud. These rugged men were armed. Some were carrying submachine rifles and the others handguns. Just then, one of then started banging hard on the door. As soon as the driver opened it and two men, stormed up the bus and took out their weapons. Everyone panicked and some of us screamed as the men threatened us with their weapons.
