                    [Summary] => A plot to destabilize the government in the wake of last month’s elections has fizzled out because of lack of support, President Arroyo announced yesterday.


She did not name any plotters, but military and police officials said earlier that forces allied with Mrs. Arroyo’s opponents had been trying to recruit soldiers, police officers and the urban poor to join anti-government rallies in a bid to derail a congressional count of the May 10 presidential vote.
