Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has lifted the state of rebellion declared after an attempted coup last month.
The military has said the 19-hour takeover, staged by about 300 elite soldiers at a luxury hotel in Manila's Makati financial district on July 27th insurgence had been contained.
