President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III sat at his expansive desk in Malacañang Palace, the weight of the inexplicable events palpable. He pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling slowly, a sound like a tired sigh. A security aide stood stiffly before him, clutching a report.
"...and while there were 13 casualties, Mr. President," the aide began, his voice tight, "reports from Cagayan De Oro indicate a significant firefight in the slums. Local police initially attributed it to gang activity, but witness accounts are... inconsistent and weird."
Aquino's eyes were closed, a deep furrow between his brows.
"No visible cameras in the area, but multiple independent witnesses reported only one man, facing off against several armed individuals. Furthermore, these witnesses also reported the involvement of American nationals. Most unusually, sir, the man alone was described as 'invincible to bullets,' tearing through houses in his path. They're calling it… supernatural."
