10 years ago, a sudden breakthrough at nano and quantum computing technologies have pushed the world to a new stage. The world is gearing up to form a world government. Thanks to that, technology transfer programs are offered to the developing countries to bolster humanities' strength as they put their eyes to the stars. The Plan is to first build a space elevator to truly free mankind from its shackles.
...
The Philippine government took advantage of the Technology Transfers, and the country has almost matched up to the developed countries in 10 years.

January 4th, 2029.
Present-day Manila is now building up as it continues to expand, buildings are being built as tall as the tallest building 10 years ago as the cost of construction is significantly cheaper now thanks to nanotechnology.
The sun is rising, so is the citizens living the capital city. Looking at the bright horizon, the peoples noticed something weird. The sun is too bright! They just shrugged it off because they thought that it would be gone in a few minutes. But no! The sun is starting to be brighter and brighter as time goes by.
Suddenly, a mix of Yellow, Blue and Red Lights burst out of the sun! It blinded and stunned everyone for a good length of time. As they recovered from blindness, the citizens noticed that the sky looks weird. The sun is still rising but the atmosphere is kinda off. There's a little violet hue in the sky as the sun rises. Weird huge bird could be seen flying in the sky.
...
The world stopped for the people in the city. Luckily, there are only a few accidents that occurred thanks to the automated vehicles and road systems in place. If you look at the street lights or all electrical devices in the streets, you can see that there's a small light that's been lit. Meaning, that the devices are running on battery.
Everyone stopped what they are doing, every household is awake. Drivers and passengers out of the vehicles. Public transportation stopped. Office workers, or it's safe to say that everyone is out on the streets.
After that, the citizens started to call their families asking whether they're okay or not. Everyone is still stunned at what happened. After a few minutes, all people with their smartphones received an emergency message saying that the government is investigating what's happening and telling the citizens to go home if they can and wait for additional information.
Everyone started to go home after that as the Vehicles started to work. The citizens just stayed in their homes the whole day. While the government is investigating what's happening.
The government tried to contact the United Nations to ask what's happening, but there's no reply. Then they tried to contact the neighboring nations, but no one's answering.
...
At a secured meeting room in Malacañang Palace, the President is seating at the head of the table with the Cabinet secretaries and the Armed Forces' Chief of Staffs.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?" President Michael Trono asked. Everyone in the room is silent because none of them know what is going on. After a few seconds, Department of National Defense's secretary John Fuentes answered, "We still don't know Mr.President. As far as we know, everything is normal until that weird light bursts out of the Sun. Also, there's still no contact between the United Nations and neighboring countries and us until now." Department of Interior and Local Government secretary Mario Ventura added, "Thankfully we still have contacts with the other parts of the country Mr.President."
President Michael nodded with a frown and then he looked at the Department of Science and Technology's secretary and asked, "Abby, have you seen the sky? It looks weird. Has PAGASA looked at it? What can you tell me?". President Michael bombarded her with questions. "Yes, sir. We are already looking into it." She answered with a flustered face.
President Michael looked at everyone at the meeting room and said "I want to know everything by tomorrow. We have to answer the people. Got it?".
"Yes!" Everyone answered.

The Next Day
(D-Day+1)
The government announced that there would be a state of emergency implemented and the President is going to address the nation. Everyone tuned in their televisions and smartphones, waiting for the President.
...
D-Day+1
Afternoon
While people are eating lunch, the President is addressing the nation. "Finally, we are going to know what's happening." Said some anxious citizen. The President then started talking "Good Afternoon, as we all know that Yesterday, some bright light hit the nation and stunned everybody at the same time."
The President paused and looked straightly the camera "We are in fact in a different world or different planet. Based on our investigation we found that two landmasses have previously been unknown to us, and some people are living there. This Morning, I received a report stating that last night when our Armed Forces' scouting party is observing the landmasses they saw a town. It's being attacked by what looks like a flying monster with medieval-looking soldiers mounted on their backs." The broadcast showed pictures and videos captured, monsters flying and a town being burnt. "The scene is so gruesome that the ground commander requested a clearance to interfere, I, of course, approved it." The broadcast changed to videos of the flying monsters being shut down by Fighter Aircrafts. "That's all I can tell you for now, but I promise that we would investigate what happened so we can answer all of your questions."

"Now that we are involved in this, tell me our options," The President said.
"Mr. President I suggest that..."
