(FORTUNE Magazine) – The ''people power'' democracy of Philippine President Corazon Aquino sometimes resembled anarchy, particularly within her own quarreling cabinet (FORTUNE, September 14). In the wake of a serious coup attempt by dissident military officers, Aquino shook up her staff. She replaced Finance Secretary Jaime Ongpin with Vicente Jayme, an investment banker who will probably continue the government policy of honoring its $26-billion foreign debt. Also dropped: Joker Arroyo, the President's controversial executive secretary, who was reported to have held up cabinet-approved tax reforms. Salvador H. Laurel resigned as foreign secretary, saying he had ''basic, fundamental differences of opinion'' with the President over her weak approach to Communist insurgency. He remains Vice President, for now.
