LETTERS, Page 16Aquino Under Siege
President Aquino's decision to request American military aid
during the recent attempted coup was not made in a moment of panic
(WORLD, Dec. 11). It was arrived at after calm deliberation and
evaluation. The government and people of the Philippines will
always be grateful for America's help and recognize it as a fine
display of commitment to democracy. However, honor and credit
should be given to the loyal Philippine officers and troops who
bore the brunt of crushing the coup. U.S. assistance was availed
of only as it was needed.
Emmanuel Pelaez
Philippine Ambassador to the U.S.
Washington
So the mighty U.S. displayed its power again. The corruption
of the Aquino government and the discontent of the Filipino people
will result in another rebellion. Americans, give us a break and
mind your own business.
Cynthia Schmiedlechner

The Filipino political elite should remember it is there to
run a country and not to fulfill personal ambitions.
