...weeks since the riots, Marcos-the Philippines' most decorated war hero-has holed up in Malacanang as if it were the Alamo. The charming old Spanish colonial palace has become a fortress. Workmen have welded closed two of its four massive entrance gates. Armed guards patrol the Pasig riverfront; soldiers in combat dress and plainclothesmen, guns bulging under their loose-fitting barong tagalog shirts, are all over the Malacanang's banyan-shaded grounds...
