Philippine President Corozan Aquino spoke Friday be- fore the national gathering of ex-corpsmen and women, some of whom served in her country. She commended the activities and objectives of the corps. which first entered the Philippines in 1961 and where it has continued to keep one of its largest con- tingents of volunteers in-the world. ·'You are fortunate indeed," she said, "for peace is a great and worthy cause."
