I live here in the Philippines and this has nothing to do with the Muslims, it's all political opponents of the President along with a group of mostly young disgruntled officers in the military....
Thank you for clarifying. People who have no idea what they are talking about are spewing misinformation (that the "Muslims are taking over") on every thread about this.
Agreed. I was going to say the same thing. This is the old Democracy/dictatorship/military rule business. I get the feeling that Macapagal is not the greatest leader in the world, and some of the power grabbers are eager to stage a coup.
