Nationwide, none of the FSLN's strategies-expensive advertising, the rhetoric of love and reconciliation, the electoral alliances with Contras and Somocistas, the alliance with the Catholic Church ...and various evangelical leaders, the vote against therapeutic abortion-seem to have made any difference. Asked about the poor care pregnant women generally receive in the public health care system (which makes the abolition of therapeutic abortion more dangerous than it would be in a country with good pre-natal care), Noel Pereira Majano, congressman from the Liberal Party and president of the National Assembly's Justice Commission, responded: One has to keep one's cool in making statements about the effects of abortion.

"With the exception of a brief period of American control in the first half of the twentieth century, conflict has persisted in the Mindanao, the southern island group of the Philippines, for 500 ...years, since the first acts of resistance towards Spanish colonization in the sixteenth century. In fact, this conflict is the second longest internal conflict in history. The population of the Philippines is a mosaic of diverse ideologies, religions, and cultures that have coalesced into three distinct regions of the archipelago. At times, these regions have been at odds with each other. While several attempts at conflict resolution have been made over the years through many different forms of government, the conflict has not yet been resolved and groups continue to struggle against the central government for political consideration, concessions, and/or autonomy. Those living in the Mindanao, for whom resistance is central to identity, still writhe against the forces that wish to control them." (Military Review) Author Gary J. Morea discusses the conflict in the Philippines, suggesting peace efforts in the form of amnesty, reintegration, and reconciliation (AR2).
