Governments urge Marcos' dismissal
United Press International
Governments around the world yesterday called for a return to democracy in the Philippines, and Filipino diplomats stationed abroad urged President Ferdinand Marcos to resign.
In Canberra, Australian Foreign Minister William Hayden said the sooner Marcos resigns, the quicker that divided country will "get on with its proper and lawful business of democratic government."
Hayden made the tempered call for Marcos' resignation after a meeting with Ray Fernandez, the former Australian ambassador to the Philippines who was recalled after the fraud-tainted election. Feb. 7 in which Marcos was officially declared the winner
On Saturday, Philippine Lt. Gen.
Fidel Ramos and Defense Minister
Juan Ponce Enrile broke with Marcos
and held themselves up with
loyal soldiers in a military compound
in the outskirts of Manila.
Ramos and Enrile said they broke with Marcos to protest gross irregularities in the election, which opposition candidate Corazon Aquino says she won, as well as widespread corruption in the Marcos administration.
In Washington, the White House warned Marcos and his loyal troops against any violence and called for a peaceful transition to a new government. Reagan said he would cut off military aid to the Philippines if Marcos' forces used violence against the rebels and civilians.
The British Foreign Office in London said, "These latest developments reflect the strength of feeling in the Philippines over the fraudulent conduct of the elections and the pressing need to restore democracy."
Spain's socialist government issued a statement saying, "The Spanish government believes that the only possible way to a solution hinges on respect for the will of the people, a majority of whom has expressed its support for democratic change, and the formation of a legitimate government based on that will."
Five countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations — Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei — said a critical situation had emerged in the Philippines which might spell bloodshed and civil war.
"As members of ASEAN, all of the five countries have followed with increasing concern the turn of events," said a communique issued in the capitals of the five nations. The Philippines is the sixth member of the Asian alliance.
Thai Foreign Minister Stitthi Savastialas said Thailand would not congratulate Marcos on his reelection, reversing Bangkok's earlier decision to send a congratulatory note to Marcos.
In Moscow, the Philippine ambassador to the Soviet Union unrew his support behind a provisional government announced yesterday.

Aquino supporters stage rally near White House
In the country's capital, protesters read a proclamation to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., calling Aquino the winner of the Feb. 7 presidential election and asking the U.S. government to honor the will of the Philippine people.
WASHINGTON — Some 200 supporters of Corazon Aquino, chanting "stay Marcos to Siberia," staged a rally across from the White House yesterday and asked President Reagan to assist the Philippines in a peaceful transfer of power.
United Press International
Demonstrators picketed in several U.S. cities, including the Philippine consulate in New York, demanding that Ferdinand Marcos leave office. Six pickets took up positions in front of the consulate with signs that said "Stop U.S. Support for Marcos" and "Marcos Sten Down."
"We call upon President Reagan
Most protesters were wearing yellow ribbons, the symbol adopted by the Marcos opposition.
to acknowledge and honor the sanctity of the votes of the Filipino people to desist from giving aid and comfort to enemies of freedom and democratic institution to pave the way for a peaceful transfer of government," said Heherson Alvarez, of the Ninoy Aquino Movement.
Kerry — a member of the U.S. delegation sent to the Philippines to oversee the elections — told the rally at Lafayette Square that the tide had turned in the strife-torn country.
"People know that the army protects people, but today the people are protecting the army," he said. "The world stands in awe of the special commitment to courage of the Phillipine people. They have given a new definition to the term freedom fighter.
