The Philippine Star 03/20/2006
As the Armed Forces rallied behind the Constitution and people assisted in the hunt for alleged destabilizers, Malacañang said yesterday authorities would be able to capture suspected coup plotters soon.

Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said he shared the confidence of Army chief Lt. Gen. Hermogenes Esperon that the coup threat "has subsided and the troops are now united in their support for the commander-in-chief."

Bunye also reiterated that the five-point guidance issued last week by Armed Forces chief Gen. Generoso Senga "clearly delineates the role of the military as professional soldiers committed to the chain of command and the Constitution."

The guidance, Bunye said, "is a fitting reminder not only to our men and women in uniform but also to politicians and civil society who wish to entice our soldiers to engage in partisan politics."

Senga has yet to decide whether court-martial proceedings against former Army Scout Rangers chief Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim and other military officers involved in the failed power grab last Feb. 24 will push through.

Esperon had recommended the other day that Lim and 14 other officers be court-martialed for their involvement in the alleged coup plot.

Military spokesman Brig. Gen. Jose Angel Honrado said the Philippine Army will submit a report on the recommendation in the next few days.

Senga, he explained, has the authority to convene the general court martial if that would be necessary based on the recommendation of the Judge Advocate General prior to a pre-trial investigation.

3. Are digital camera photos more expensive to process?

Not anymore. First, you can eliminate any poor images before printing and only pay for those that you print. With “easy share” technology and photo quality printers now available, it is both affordable and convenient to print digital camera photos.

You can even do the task yourself, in the comfort of your own home - without buying expensive development chemicals that are required for film processing! Or, you can send your images electronically to a professional processor, and receive professionally produced photos back in the mail in just a few days.

4. Can I get different effects with a digital camera?

That depends on the digital camera. High end models have built-in features that allow different kinds of effects. But even if your digital camera doesn’t have these advanced features, you can always manipulate the photographs on your desktop computer, using any image editing software.

5. Are zooming features comparable?

Here digital cameras actually have a distinct advantage over film cameras. While cheaper digital cameras may only have digital zoom (which is really just a form of in-camera enlargement that results in a lower resolution original image), high end models are available with both digital and optical zooming.

When shopping for your digital camera, give priority to the optical zoom capability and buy the highest power optical zoom that fits within your budget. Digital zoom is a nice extra, but the effects can easily be replicated during the “processing” of the image on your computer, prior to printing the images.
