Battle Tanks Deployed at Philippine Military HQ 2006-02-24 10:41:47 CRIENGLISH.com At least eight battle tanks arrived at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) headquarters Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City Friday morning to reinforce government forces amid a plot to oust President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo from power. The tanks -- seven Simba and one armored personnel carrier -- that came from Capas, Tarlac, home of the Army's Light Armored Brigade stayed in front of the AFP grandstand. Apart from the tanks, two Humbee patrol vehicles and a company of soldiers in full-battle gear also arrived at the camp. The Humbees and reinforcing soldiers also came from Light Armored Brigade, officials said. Over a dozen of six by six trucks filled with soldiers were also parked at the camp's grandstand in anticipation of possible anti-government actions. "This is for the government, (this deployment) is upon the instruction of the chief of staff," said Northern Luzon Command spokesman Lt. Col. Preme Monta. When asked how many other soldiers have been deployed to Metro Manila as reinforcement, Monta said it is confidential but a substantial number of troops have been deployed. Meanwhile, armored cars were also deployed around the Presidential Palace. ============================ Hope this helps you. Marc :)
