    • Cory then proceed on her peace agenda with the

    existing communist insurgency, aggravated by


    the dictatorial and authoritarian measure of
    Ferdinand Marcos. She asserted;
    “My predecessor set aside democracy to save it
    from a communist insurgency that numbered less
    than five hundred. Unhampered by respect for
    human rights he went at it with hammer and tongs.
    By the time he fled, that insurgency have grown to
    more than sixteen thousand. I think there is a
    lesson here to be learned about trying to stifle a
    thing with a means by which it grows.”
    • Cory’s peace agenda involve political initiatives
    and re-integration program to pursued insurgents
    to leave the countryside and return to the
    mainstream society to participate in the
    restoration of democracy.

    • She invoked the path of peace beacause she


    believed that it was the moral path that a moral
    government must take.
    • Nevertheless, Cory took a step back when she
    said that while peace is the priority of her
    presidency, she ”will not waiver” when freedom
    and democracy are threatened.

    • She said that, similar to Abraham Lincoln, she


    understand that “force maybe necessary before
    mercy” and while she did not relish the idea, she
    “will do whatever it takes to defend the integrity
    and freedom of (her) country.”
