Aquino says communists have lost people's trust
President Corazon Aquino said the 18 year insurgency has lost its heart and soul as the people reject the movement. She urged civil rule and unity between army and people while warning those who misread the national will will fall by the wayside. The opposition Grand Alliance for Democracy plans a Batangas rally to kick off May elections with 24 candidates including Marcos links. Manila Times reports Marcos funneled funds to pro Marcos candidates via Hong Kong as Enrile and allies protest. The leftist group National Democratic Front rejected amnesty and urged continued talks without a truce.
