Another attempted coup....so what else is new?

We spent all day at the farm...

And came back to find there are going to be more arrests of those attempting a coup...

The big rally is tomorrow, and there were rumors even here in the rural areas that those attending the "people power anniversary" would demonstrate against Gloria.

There were small (10 thousand is small here) demonstrations yesterday, but Gloria felt she had to go to visit the landslide victims. HOOOW convenient.

So now, there is a state of emergency, and Cory is telling Gloria to go...

Gloria reminds one of Clinton, except there are "hello garci" tapes instead of a blue dress...and just think, if Clinton had resigned, Gore would have been president and probably would have had the guts to get BenLaden in 1999...

Here, the problem is that the economy is in shambles as long as there is political instability...however, the bureaucracy is operating normally...it's just a feud between the elite oligarchy that rules the Philippines...

And doesn't affect the rice harvest...so it's not important here.
