Philippine President Declares "State OF Emergency" - GoFuckYourself.com

Zhiro58 · 02-23-2006, 10:09 PM

PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared a state of emergency Friday to quell a military uprising that sought to overthrow her administration.
Arroyo's declaration is contained in Proclamation 1017, which she signed after a lengthy meeting with Cabinet members and police and military officials in Malacañang, Press Secertary Ignacio Bunye said.

In the declaration released to media at 11:20 a.m., Arroyo invoked Section 18, Article 7 of the Constitution that allowed the President to call on the armed forces to prevent or suppress rebellion.

The proclamation will also pave the way for warrantless arrests, government takeover of utilities, including media, and a ban on rallies, Presidential Chief of Staff Michael Defensor said.

Arroyo said that over the past months, ?elements in the political opposition had conspired with authoritarians of the extreme Left represented by the

the extreme Right, represented by military adventurists -- the historic enemies of the democratic Philippine State -- who are now in a tactical alliance and engaged in a concerted and systematic conspiracy, over a broad front, to bring down the duly constituted government elected in May 2004.?

She also noted that "the claims of these elements had been recklessly magnified by certain segments of the national media.?

She said these series of actions were hurting the country ?by obstructing governance, including hindering the growth of the economy and sabotaging the people?s confidence in government.?

Arroyo said the situation was under control.

Earlier on Friday, Defensor said authorities were hunting down 8 to 10 civilians and military officers allegedly linked to the coup plot, including their financiers.

Reporters covered the President's declaration from the Arlegui guesthouse, a few meters away from the Palace.

It's a sad issue to know that we are in a mess and it was confirmed that there were a group of some that are linked to the coup plot scouted at around 2 am. This alert trigerred the president to declare the state of emergency plus the armed forces are supressing large group of rallies at the Edsa. Whether this action can either lead to a martial law or not, both parties can be in a critical situation but - business as usual for the others.

Yeah i do live in the philippines... For the president to declare the state of emergency, there would be a serious situation. Like i said, a group of military are scouted at 2 am and this report was verified about the coup. This involes a large number of men including commanding officer Brig. Gen. Lim...

- to cut this short.. I have stated this early "Whether this will lead to a martial law or not, the situation is serious for the president to declare the national state of emergency"...

Shouldn't be a problem. Just avoid the main streets in Makati. Nobody outside Makati cares about it, anyhow ....

nah.. martial law should be approved by the lower house first, which i doubt would happen..

it's just sad.. i mean, they know that 2006 did not start well here on the phils (the stampede, followed by the leyte landslide).. then they still tried to launch this coup d' etat.. it's just like none of them really cared..
