Philippines Air Force troops arrive at a standoff at the Philippines Marines Headquarters in Manila Sunday, Feb. 26, 2006. The potential threat to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's leadership ended peacefully after disgruntled marine officers agreed to end a five-hour standoff that began when their commander was relieved of his duties. The officers appeared to back down when their appeal for people to defy a ban on rallies and turn out to protect them 'from aggression' drew only about 3,000-4,000 opposition figures, leftist leaders and their followers.
