ON THE MILITARY PUTSCH IN MANILA
One more time Manila, on 29 November knew a new putsch attempt by an handle of soldiers
One more time the military din't follow the mutiners, but one more time the Philippines appear as an unstable country, plus the corruption problem. Two facts that are not encouraging the foreigners to invest there
I know that GMA administration has been plagued by scandals and that she was accused of fraud in her last election, without speaking of the campaign of assassination against leftist opponents, the numberous suspicions against her husband, and that het approval ratings in opinion polls are at record lows.
But I continue to think that, even if some filipino friends wrote me the contrary and justify the "People war", that the military have not to interfere in the political life of a country.
The Philippines have democratic institutions, gained in dramatic circonstances. They have to be respected. Time will come for justice if justified
