Description: "05/23/1987: Twelve Embassies received threatening letters dated 04/29/1987 from individuals demanding that the Embassies take out newspaper ads in the Malaya and Inquirer newspapers supporting the National Democratic Front (NDF), the leftist coalition. Canadian ambassador Russell Davidson said, ""We are not going to give in to terrorist demands."" The letters were similar to those received in March, which the NDF disowned."
