World news Marcos leading Aquino in official count ■ ■ . ' .... '' MANILA, Philippines (AP) — President Fer dinand Marcos was well ahead Thursday in the official vote count by the National Assembly, which his party controls. Corazon Aquino, who claims she won the election, said he must resign to prevent violence. Aquino’s aides reported that another of her campaign workers was killed Thursday, bringing the total since the Feb. 7 presidential election to more than 20. After seven hours of tabulating tally sheets from the archipelago’s 74 provinces and more than 60 cities, the assembly had Marcos ahead with 6,403,785 votes to 5,584,581 for Aquino. That gave Marcos an edge of about 53 percent to Aquino’s 46 percent with about 46 percent of the votes tallied. The assembly's count determines the out come under Philippine law. The National Movement for Free Elections, an independent poll-watchers' group called Nam frel, had Aquino ahead in its unofficial count. It gave her 7,158,679 votes to 6,532.362 for Marcos, based on 64 percent of more than 86.000 precincts reporting. The tally sheet delivered to the National Assembly from the president's home province of Ilocos Norte said the votes came from 761 precincts. The province has 624 registered precincts, Aquino claims the elections were fraudulent and the National Assembly’s canvass is rigged. Marcos, who has governed the Philippines for 20 years, appeared on government television and pledged to "honor, without reservations, the people's verdict at the polls." The president deplored the violence and said he also had lost supporters, including a town mayor he said was killed by communist rebels "encouraged by the opposition." Aquino said the president should resign because "the failure of the electoral process to move swiftly to a fair conclusion has dangerously heightened tensions." An aide read her statement soon after the Marcos broadcast. She said the resignation would “defuse some of the swelling political anger" of Filipinos who feel they have been cheated, and allow the ques tion of who won the election to be settled in a manner acceptable to all. She did not say how that could be done. ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR PROMOTIONS IS BACK!!!
