Coup rumors: what they
really tell
AS PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo honed
her diplomatic skills in China, the remaining bulwark of economic
growth in an otherwise deteriorating global economy, Manila
was agog with rumors of an impending coup d'etat. The jitters
threatened to dampen the enthusiasm she has drummed up among
Chinese businessmen in the country's investment viability.
The timing has been calculated to lend credence to the story
as well as pull the red carpet, literally and figuratively,
from under Arroyo as she ventures to firm up her government's
legitimacy in the international arena.

Arroyo's Achilles'
heel
If it is true that behind the success or downfall
of a man is a woman, then nowhere is this more real than in
the Philippines --- except that this time, it could be the
other way around.
While President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo painted a "not
just a pretty face" image during the APEC Summit in Shanghai
last month with her intelligence and firm grasp of issues,
antagonists back home continued to cry foul over First Gentleman
Jose Miguel Arroyo's involvement in government affairs. In
an open letter addressed to Ms. Arroyo, the People's Consultative
Assembly (PCA) lambasted her for "betraying the cause
of People Power" and for perpetuating the "corruption
and immorality" of the Estrada administration.

Worry-free

TRY talking to some friends who are beneficiaries
of dollar remittances. Most likely, they won't miss out spinning
anecdotes about their mishaps on fund transfers. Like this
one guy whom we can call Noel. He once made a weekend trip
to Cebu in order to pick up the money sent to him by his mother
who was working abroad. He traveled by boat and on his way
back to Negros, he decided to drop by a nearby beach for some
swim. With nay an idea of the coup de grace that awaited him,
he went home only with his dazed memory as to where he lost
his heaven-sent package. What a dim-witted story but, nonetheless,
true.

and pliancy. 
is woman, also a symbol of softness and
pliancy. Thus to be soft and pliant, which
came by extension to be pliant in one's affairs
and then leave decisions to others, eventually
leading to entrust. The popolar explanation
that gathering the rice crop was entrusted to
women is incorrect but a useful mnemonic.
