Another failed coup happened last week. And you wanna know why it failed? First of all it happened on a Thursday morning. People are at work or at school. The public holiday isn't until the next day. It was gloomy. I mean who wants to march along Makati to oust the President while rain is pouring down. It wasn't heavy downpour but still. Thesame rebel (idealist?) soldiers who were charged with the Oakwood mutiny last 2003 were at the helm of the now failed coup attempt. They took over Manila Peninsula hotel for almost the whole day.
Corny. Trillianes gave up easily. Maybe knowing that there was not enough support? Perhaps, he wanted to save people from harms way while stupid government soldiers and police crash their way inside the Peninsula. Armored vehicle went through the big glass door and police started throwing teargas forcing the rebel soldiers to just give up. Click here for news source.
You have to feel sorry though and not for the rebel soldiers mind you, but the Peninsula who suffered the worst. Posh hotel getting trumped like that- well just the front and the lobby.
So now what? Maybe the mutineers ought to just wait for the next Presidential election...well, provided there's no martial law. That would be the day! I don't even wanna think what would happen. After the failed coup, there was curfew in effect from 12 mn up to 5. But what if that's not all.
Politics sucks.
