Pres Arroyo will do everything in her power to ensure the military's loyalty to her and to the country. And also, let's not forget that the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces, so I think it's only natural for the president to rally the troops with "inspiring words" and deadlines to meet. I'm sure that our unsung heroes in the armed forces are doing their best to meet the President's deadlines and to promote peace and order in our country. In my personal opinion, we should continue to give our Armed Forces the respect and honor they deserve for defending our Motherland and our democracy regardless of whether they fail or succeed to meet the President's deadlines.
