1997 Asian Financial Crisis and a Military Coup?



With the Philippines gripped by the Asian financial crisis, the military seized the opportunity to overthrow and execute President Fidel V. Ramos. General Bak'la assumed the role of the head of state and has promised to lead the country to "greatness."


The General was also quoted as saying, "at this point in time, we wish to not pursue any military intrusions on our neighbors. We wish to stake our claims and 'kantot eyong ina'."


Woo! Diplomacy!
