Security will remain tight during the month-long Zamboanga Hermosa Festival with the explosions that jolted the city in October 2002, days before the bombing in Bali, Indonesia, still fresh in the minds of local folk.

Noli Terrado, a member of the Samahang Laban sa Detensyon at Para sa Amnestiya (SELDA), said militant groups opted not to stage any rallies to mark the declaration of martial law "because the people will not sympathize with us anyway."


"They are busy celebrating this Catholic occasion," he added.
