‘Solution to war is not more war,’ Marcos says in Day of Valor speech
BATAAN, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday emphasized that “the solution to war is not more war,” and peace can only be achieved if mutually agreed upon by both persons or countries in conflict.
Speaking at the 83rd anniversary of the Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) at the Mount Samat National Shrine in Bataan, the President said the current generation of Filipinos must learn from the hardships of those who fought in World War II.
“We celebrate today the heroism of all those who fought here in Bataan. And we celebrate the peace that was hard-earned by the blood and the sacrifice of all our servicemen, not just Filipinos, not just Americans, but also those who fought bravely for their countries,” Marcos said.
“The lessons that we learned are that the solution to war is not more war and that the solution to war is only peace,” he added.
The President also stressed that “peace cannot be attained by one person, [or] by one country alone. And that we have to bring together all the parties that are involved. These are the lessons that we hope to have learned.”
But Marcos, without specifying any country, also said he is “a little disappointed” to see that some parts of the world are yet to learn that lesson.
