- A Bit of Yanky Panky
- </hdr><body>
- <p> An American soldier of fortune named Jack Terrell, who once
- worked for the contra rebels in Nicaragua, created a political
- storm in the Philippines last week when he implicated Foreign
- Secretary Raul Manglapus in a bizarre plot to murder a handful
- of President Corazon Aquino's opponents, including rebel
- Colonel Gregorio ("Gringo") Honasan.
- </p>
- <p> Aquino defended her Foreign Secretary as "an uncomplicated
- man" who would never contemplate murder. Manglapus, a droll
- diplomat who once set his thoughts on U.S.-Philippine relations
- to music in a theatrical comedy called Yanky Panky, denied the
- allegations.
- </p>
- <p> But the drama will probably not be short-lived. Opposition
- Senator Juan Ponce Enrile, who is running for President, called
- for a Senate investigation that could easily last until
- elections are held in May 1992.
