    Is that country just confined to an existance of constant coup, counter coup and attempted coup?

    Moving to politics btw.

    For as long as this plays out, this will be the only news on sky... they always latch on to some big story and stay with it all day with the odd break for weather :D

    That article doesn't say anything about who the actors are, what they want or what their interests are. Methinks there's much more to this than meets the eye.

    "The trial relates to a 2003 insurrection in which troops commandeered a shopping centre and demanded that Ms Arroyo step down."

    What ever happened to seizing the radio / TV station?

    So very strange... i spent 3 weeks in Manila back in August and stayed in that very hotel. Watching a tank drive into the lobby is surreal to say the least.

    It hasn't been a good couple of months by all accounts...just over a month ago there was a bomb/explosion in a shopping mall less than 100 yards from the hotel.
