    The news article discusses contradictions in official statements about the 2017 attack at Resorts World Manila. It summarizes the attack, where a lone gunman entered the casino and set fire to gaming tables and slot machines, killing 37 people. However, the article notes inconsistencies between initial statements from authorities that it was a robbery versus later statements that it may have been a terrorist attack, as the authorities had said there was no indication of terrorism but later announced the gunman's connection to ISIS.
