...explore the path of negotiations to the utmost," she told a group of soldiers at Camp Aguinaldo, the armed forces headquarters near Manila. Still, Aquino held hope that negotiations might be renewed, at least on a regional level. The insurgents rebuffed the idea outright as a "malicious move to sow dissension and division within insurgent ranks." Said a rebel leader: "This is the most important phase of our struggle, and we shall do everything to kill Cory's soldiers." Countered Defense Minister Rafael Ileto: "We won't allow anyone to threaten us. We are prepared. I think...
