FYI:
The Siege of Mactan, the 1989 military coup!
Brig. Gen. Jose B. Comendador was the Commander of PAF’s Second Air Division in Mactan Air Base when he denied use of air power to both opposing forces and stood by that decision to the end.
Blind obedience to dispatch the four F-5s to hit rebel positions in Camp Aguinaldo, Villamor Air Base and Sangley Point direct from the top military hierachy would have killed a lot of people and hence, history would have been different.
