MANILA STANDARD EDITORIAL: On Thursday, the President sounded like the boy who cried wolf when he spoke of a coup plot that even his own Armed Force chief and Presidential Security Group knew nothing about. As ordinary Filipinos struggle with rising fuel and energy prices and deteriorating public service and safety, we are again pressed to ask: why all this preoccupation with the communist and coup plots, real or otherwise? He should take heart: Coups are usually launched against officials who have already instituted dramatic changes, for better or for worse. Since he has done nothing of this sort, why worry?
