PORTLAND, Algeria, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said she will remain defense secretary for a few more weeks, even amid fresh threats to oust her.
She reiterated that she enjoys the full support of the military, which has been hit by high-profile resignations, mutinies and rumors.
According to a report in Compuserve's NewsForum, General Narciso Abaya, chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, dismissed rumors that five senior officers resigned to protest Arroyo's presidency. The general admitted that a disinformation campaign has affected all levels of the military, but he vowed to track down those responsible.
The Philippines has been on edge since an abortive mutiny on July 27. Under pressure from disaffected officers, Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes and Brigadier General Victor Corpus, chief of military intelligence, resigned.
