Philippine President Gloria Arroyo has pardoned nine army officers who took part in a failed coup attempt in 2003.

The nine were part of a group that seized control of a hotel and shopping centre in July 2003 to demand that she step down.

President Arroyo made the announcement during a ceremony to install a new military chief.

She ordered a 10% pay rise for soldiers, saying she had "full confidence" in the armed forces.
