World Notes
THE PHILIPPINES
A Bit of Yanky Panky
</hdr><body>
<p> An American soldier of fortune named Jack Terrell, who once
worked for the contra rebels in Nicaragua, created a political
storm in the Philippines last week when he implicated Foreign
Secretary Raul Manglapus in a bizarre plot to murder a handful
of President Corazon Aquino's opponents, including rebel
Colonel Gregorio ("Gringo") Honasan.
</p>
<p> Aquino defended her Foreign Secretary as "an uncomplicated
man" who would never contemplate murder. Manglapus, a droll
diplomat who once set his thoughts on U.S.-Philippine relations
to music in a theatrical comedy called Yanky Panky, denied the
allegations.
</p>
<p> But the drama will probably not be short-lived. Opposition
Senator Juan Ponce Enrile, who is running for President, called
for a Senate investigation that could easily last until
elections are held in May 1992.
