Possible military dissension has Erap worried? Like I said, a military coup to remove Erap from power is likely; maybe not this week, but soon. Of course, his advisers and secretaries claim that everything is under control and that the military is loyal to the administration, but wouldn’t we expect them to tell us that to try and maintain some semblance of stability?

In 1986, dictator Ferdinand Marcos sent tanks and soldiers to Edsa to disperse the People Power rally back then. But the people stood up to the tanks, and the military personnel eventually ended up joining the rallyists and defecting. It could happen again.
