The Tepēilhuitl Crisis of 1997 was a month-long period of social and political unrest in Pulacan.
The crisis culminated in an attempted coup d'etat against Tezozomoctli by elements of the National Guard led by Colonel Thabo Banika (T.B.) Tshola.
Background
By 1997, Pulacan had spent 5 years enduring its worst economic recession since the end of the Great Kayatman War. The steel market collapse that induced the recession was exacerbated by the compounded mistakes of multiple administrations. The bombshell exposure of chronic mismanagement by the Secretariat of Finance in early 1993 had resulted in then-General Secretary Motlasi T. Chabaya committing a fatal act of autodefenestration from the Republican Palace in Mabesekwa, the seat of the Supreme Colloquy. Thus, voters went to the polls in October of 1993 in an atmosphere of shock, institutional mistrust, and economic frustration. Elected to replace Chabaya was Pantla Papalotl of the Nguzo Party. The position of President, however, remained in the hands of Capanilli Tezozomoctli, a lifelong member of the Popular Alliance for the Republic (PAR).
