According to that scenario, long touted by the military underground, sympathetic "bloodless" revolts would spring up in Luzon and elsewhere in the country, eventually inducing soldiers in and around Manila -- the fence-sitters of previous uprisings -- to side with the rebels simply by refusing to obey orders from generals loyal to President Corazon Aquino...
