'''Oplan HACKLE''' was a supposed plot by rebel soldiers in the [[Philippines]] to overthrow the [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo|Arroyo]] administration, foiled by the [[Armed Forces of the Philippines]] (AFP) on February 24, 2006 (see [[Philippines under state of emergency, 2006]]).  Allegedly, the four-phase plot included a mass jailbreak of [[Oakwood mutiny|Magdalo mutineers]] and the unfolding of anti-government posters during a [[Philippine Military Academy]] reunion.

The rebel Magdalo soldiers are said to be working with the [[New People's Army]], a [[Communism|communist]] military organization &mdash; The AFP claims "HACKLE" is an abbreviated form of "[[hammer and sickle]]".
