U.S. gov’t: ‘Respect rule of law’
STATEMENT of the U.S. government on the state of national emergency:
President Arroyo declared a State of National Emergency on February 24. Secretary of Foreign Affairs Romulo briefed the diplomatic corps on the declaration on the same day. The U.S. Government is monitoring the situation in the Philippines very closely. The U.S. Embassy has issued a Warden Message to American citizens in the Philippines, advising them to take prudent steps to ensure their personal safety during this uncertain time. We call on the Government of the Philippines and the Filipino people to respect fully the rule of law, protect civil liberties and human rights, and reject violence.
