Proton and alpha decay from the giant resonance region of {sup 28}Si excited with a 129 MeV alpha particle beam has been measured in coincidence with inelastic alpha particles detected at 0{degree}. The angular correlation data show the presence of decay from both {ital E}0 and {ital E}2 giant resonances. The {ital E}0 giant resonance decays primarily through the {alpha}{sub 0}, {alpha}{sub 1}, {ital p}{sub 0}, and {ital p}{sub 1,2} channels with the branching ratios 18{plus minus}6 %, 24{plus minus}8 %, 23{plus minus}9 %, and 18{plus minus}8 %, respectively. Substantial direct decay is observed.
