Hi:

Yup.

Many Filipinos are happy about this even if they do not take to the streets to march.

Nonetheless, maybe it would be nice also if US policymakers were to craft an indirect program to rid a number of AFP officers and enlisted personnel of their Bonapartist tendencies. This bad habit they picked up during the latter part of the Marcos dictatorship.

There is still the threat this progress shall not be sustainable. This if a number of AFP troopers shall think it is they who are the saviors of the Philippines.

It is about time all learned to respect civilian supremacy even if the Philippine government does have warts.

True, the country may have governance problems and this also includes the Philippine Army and the rest of the AFP.

A coup d'etat however is no solution.

Cheers and Mabuhay.
