Filipino military backs Arroyo: Cabinet.
2006-02-28
The Philippines Government says the military has assured the country's President Gloria Arroyo that she has its full support. Ms Arroyo declared a state of emergency on Friday after discovering a plot to overthrow her. Officials extended the emergency after a protest at the Marines' headquarters on Sunday, saying the threat of a coup remained.

But Cabinet secretary Ricardo Saludo says there is no immediate danger of any military action being taken against the Government. "The Armed Forces Chief of Staff gave a briefing to selected members of the Cabinet and he assured us that first of all, all units of the Armed forces are in place and accounted for," he said. "Secondly, [he assured us] that the commanders of all these units are following the chain of command and giving allegiance to the Constitution and the duly constituted government."

#2  God I wish she'd wake up to the threat to the PI, quit softpedalling the muslim and communist insurgencies, take the gloves off and kick ass - only one kind of MILF's should be saved, and they aren't armed

#1  She probably had too many shoes. Excessive shoes in the PI can quickly lead to an overthrow.
