About 30 people have been taken hostage by a gunman at a mall in the Philippine capital Manila.
Armed police and negotiators are on the scene, trying to end the standoff peacefully.
The gunman, a former security guard at the V-Mall in Manila's San Juan City, is demanding to speak to his former colleagues by video call.
A SWAT team has entered the V-Mall in San Juan's Greenhills commercial district after shoppers were safely evacuated.
