Philippines ? A Philippine court sentenced nine military officers today to jail terms ranging from 12 to 40 years for taking part in a foiled coup plot against President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2003.

The nine are part of a group of 31 junior officers accused of leading a daylong mutiny in which they took over an upscale hotel and mall complex and rigged it with explosives in Manila’s financial district of Makati. They later surrendered peacefully.

At the conclusion of the five-year trial, Judge Oscar Pimentel of the Regional Trial Court of Makati sentenced two officers to 40 years in prison and seven others to 12 years. They are facing separate court martial charges.

Pimentel also ordered five years served in detention to be subtracted from the sentence.
