Those tora tora's are the vivid memory i have of this coup attempt here in manila. I was in grade 4 during that time and its early monday morning(December 1, 1989), you can hear gunshots and exploding sounds from distance my father hurriedly turned on the radio and from there, its Ray Langit whos broadcasting the news that there's a military mutiny and the rebel forces already captured airbases controlled by the government. And as the early morning light shines, we can hear already planes approaching our area, three T-28's (Tora-toras) flying in formation circling our area, were in Balintawak, Quezon City, many people go up to the roof of their houses, some folks on towering water tanks to see those planes flying, they're dark colored. Then minutes came by and we heard another planes approaching, its 2 F-5 jets, they are colored white tailing those T-28 but nobody shoots, those F-5 are just tailing those T-28's im sure those pilots are talking on radio trying to convince each other to either join the rebels side or stop this military adventurism. i guess less than one hour passed and those F-5's peeled off leaving the T-28's in control of that particular airspace, by 9am those T-28 left our area, i guess they in to strike government soldiers positions already. Approaching noon time, a much powerful sounding plane can be heard approaching our area and this is different from the first two aircraft i saw that early morning. me and my friends went up the water tank and im sure what we saw are American aircraft already its like the F-16 that i saw. I only learned about those aircraft as i start reading articles about military aviation and our military history as i grow up. just sharing my experience regarding the 1989 coup attempt. Its a exciting experience for me, but same as other folks im also nervous as well.

I sent this to my dad. And I forgot he was stationed at Clark when all this happened, I was born in the Philippines in 89 also

This coup upstaged my cadet battalion’s Tactical Inspection. My uniform was meticulously prepared, starched like they had never been before, combat boots and brass shined to perfection the night before. I woke-up at 8:30AM in a panic, “OMG, I missed formation! I’m supposed to be in campus right now!” Then I heard the engine drone of the prop planes, “Well that’s weird, why would the Air Force be doing patrols today? They didn’t announce any air shows, no?” Then I got downstairs and saw my folks listening to news radio. “Another coup? Today of all days? Couldn’t they have held-off another week?”

The RAM-SAF would probably set up a military junta without any powers from both the Aquinos and the Marcoses

I did not expect this to also happen at my place, I thought this was only in manila when I brought up this topic to my retired grandfather, was surprised when he said "nahitabo sad ni sa lapu lapu ug cebu" (this also happened in lapu lapu in cebu). Talking that the bridge from lapu-lapu was cordoned and is blocked by tanks(probably meant LAV). He said about military with armbands which flags are flipped upside-down to identify if there were coup de tat members. He was designated in manila doing paperwork in the military, as soon as the plane fighting started they went outside to see it. At first I was weirded out why he called the planes "tora tora", it reminded me of a japanese ww2 plane movie. But then it is really an actual term for the planes which model is Trojan something. The thing that gives me chills is that when he was going home (he retired after that) after the peacetalks happened. He was asked which side was he on, he responded "Nagtrabaho rako diri(I just work here)" he presumed the guy asking him was a coup de tat member by looking at the armband and upsidedown flag.

my mom told me this story when she was about to leave manila after school. she said why there was no school and one of her classmates said "theres a coup deta"

This things happened because of 1. Cory let go of the NPA Leaders that didn't go well with the soldiers. 2. Political ambitions of Gringo Honassan, and 3. Poor morale and poor economic situation of the soldiers.

4th year Nursing Student ako ng nayari itong Coup d etat. If my memory serves me right this happen in Dec.1989 ang dami kasing Coup attempt noong administration ni Cory ( around 6 or 7 ) .But the 1989 coup is the bloodiest, kung hindi nag intervened ang US malamang noon ay nasipa si Aquino...that time din nauso ang “slang word “ na UZI meaning “ Usisero” if you look at some of the video clips ang daming miron na nanood ng bakbakan , kaya ang daming civilians na nasugatan.At Ang tawag noon kay Gringo ay Gringo O-Nasaan ? dahil after that coup he went into hiding

this video smackin frfr. it evoked a feeling of nostalgia in me even though i was born in the late 2000s. definitely looking forward to more of these edits. ipagpatuloy mo yan man

Nice choice of music sir, everybody wants to rule the world🤙

My Uncle Lived in pampanga, when he drove his car apporaching the free port zone, he saw truck loads of Soldiers with APC’s Including american soldiers, and Defences,

My parents got some interesting stories about this one. It happened right on their Honeymoon.

My parents were here in Cebu during the coup attempt. In was mostly silent here since the standoff occurred on the Mandaue-Mactan Bridge and Mactan Air Base/MCIA.

Dope video man, do you think you can create more Philippine Army aesthetics when you have free time?

You are hella underated

Iyan yung mga di makapaghintay na binayaran ang mga pivate military contractors na nasa loob mismo ng AFP na sumasahod din sa budget ng Pilipinas.

These rebels opposed the triumphant oligarchs that made us poor now.

We were living in Murphy, Cubao which is just around 600 meters away from Camp Aguinaldo. I could still remember the flying "Tora Tora" planes and their terrifying sound. My family and I took refuge inside our washroom since it is the most protected space in our home. Fortunately, the Philippines is in a much better situation now.

magandang gawain! you have earned a sub.

Naalala ko ito. Grade 4 ako. 1 week kaming walang pasok. Ganda ng view point namin sa Antipolo. Kitang kita namin mga eroplano. I can still remember the scenes in my head up to now the T-28s (tora-tora) strafing.

This feels so surreal.

Remembered that after bonifacio day early December 1989 coup begin it's almost a week long coup. Tora-tora flying, bombing. Marines vs scout rangers in Makati fight each other.

My father was a kid at this time. He told me he could hear and see the planes from our house.

love the 80s

Philippines Lore:🔥🗿🗿🚨 Philippines Gameplay:🤡😮‍💨

I had just arrived at my assignment as Battalion Commo Chief for 65th Engineer Bn when I got the alert call from the SDO. He said we have a "Lightning Strike." I didn't know what he meant until he said we have an alert. Since I was on Oahu, I knew something bad had happened, and it was going to involve us.

My Grampa is a police he told me a story of how he survive a devastating coup in malacañang he also said that he was dragging a injured soldier out of the area for a medical attention I don't know the others cause it's the only information I heard from my grampa

Ngl, i actually like this video a lot

I cant find the "Tayo Magsayawan" Edit please i need to see it again

Perfect background music.

My grandfather was in the side of the coup d'etat he said he never wants to hurt another Filipino, therefore he was terrified if it would come to the point he would have to kill someone.

The music is not appropriate to the real event that happened when many of us took to the streets to get rid of his father who doesn't want to step-down after 20 years in power. Imagine born when he was elected, 20 yrs later got rid of him in our youth life. We are still here!

Total waste of money and time,not to mention the creation of the Philippines as an unstable place for investing.Very sad time for the Philippines.

The fall of asia's pearl of the orient philippines.

What if this coup was a success

I thought those were jets but no they were propeler planes

1989 the most historical year

what was the reasong behind all those coupdetat? and what was your opinion on cory asking the US to kill filipino soldiers

My dad at that time was a cadet OPC at that time their camp in tanay,Rizal was almost led by a Rebel officer luckily when they traveled to manila in the outskirts of the city they where stop by the government forces they arrested all the rebel collaborating officers that time and send back all personel back at camp, my dad was Class of 89 officers preparatory course In his Military career he experienced 2 of the 3 coup de etat here in the Philippines which the last one was the Oak wood mutiny which his company was the on that crashed the tank at the Oak wood hotel❤

This happens when a dull witted housewife becomes a president overnight!

i am not satisfied and happy to what happened in the pass they throw the legitimate president marcos sr and look what they done to our country

my uncles took part in this coup his on the gov side Airforce SF

Just rewatched this and noticed the PAL 742 at 0:45. Judging from the JT9Ds, could that be EI-BTS or EI-BZA?

In 1989 My mom was Grade 6 and 12 years old she hide table because there’s sound gun fire and bomb his dad said: wala ako dyan manatili kayo

some Filipinos arejust smiling

Certified war aesthetic 😎👌

It's too bad a lot of the rebel soldiers in the Visayas and Mindanao were not able to reach Manila. I remember watching the local news in Cebu of rebel soldiers disembarking from civilian ro-ros coming from Mindanao. They were stranded in Cebu since the PAF commander of Mactan Air Base sided with the Aquino government. Would've been a different story if they all reached Manila.

The people that could care less about their country. But, their own GREED.

Dito kasama yung uncle ko na scout ranger kung saan pinasok nila yung pinaka malaking bangko ng pilipinas

US Marines at the ready to fight In Upper Mau

Worst

Cold War vibes Philippine edition.

Where did you find the footage?

Fight for filipinos

And you still voted for the people responsible for this.. you would have a military junta similar to myanmar had they succeeded

Claiming this will happen in 2022

The Philippine military, enjoying power under Marcos, when a democratic government was established, had a withdrawal symptom. They were addicted to power and sensing Marcos' weakness wanted more power, led by Honasan and RAM, with Enrile behind perhaps pulling the strings.

Past event already and provided hard lessons for the military, which have been learned. The Marines have developed a motto of "NEVER AGAIN". What is the point in showing that sad and unfortunate episode in our history. There are still quarters who call for coup d'etat and withdrawal of support from the duly elected President and bloggers have been falsely stating that PMA generals are in conflict with the President. These events tend to confuse the Filipino people and tend to breed disunity and partisanship which will result in the weakening of the country to defend herself against non-respecter of international norms and laws and thus easily accomplish their aims/goals of dominating our beloved Philippines and the seas around her. Nonetheless, the AFP and other armed forces in the country has remained steadfast in its avowed devotion to its mandate and avowal of support and defense of the Constitution and the duly constituted authorities and the Filipino people. Be FREE than sorry.

My Father are one of those Rebel Soldiers withdrawing support to President Cory Aquino! They have red and white Arm band sign of long live Democracy!…

This was during the days when the PH was an American banana republic.

can you make the 1986 edsa revolution

this also cope thunder?

That happend when Marcos Sr. Died.

The planes in the video arent tora tora's they are t24 trojans

When there’s a coup d’etat on Marcos again, I’m screwed

Natatawa lang ako sa mga comment. Akala ko kasi kami kami lang ang tumatawag sa plane as "Tora Tora" . Since yun yung tawag ng mga uncle namin.. Kapag nag ke kwento kasi ako sa ibang kaibigan ko, halos di nila gets kung ano daw yun. Hahaha

Bat Wala Sa Libro Yan
