I acknowledged that I owed my presidency to People Power. I resolved during my presidency that I would in turn empower the people.

The only thing I can really offer the Filipino people is my sincerity.

It is not I who have been consigned to the bedroom of history.

As our country bled . . . its leader's wife came to this podium piously to call for a new human order, this when thousands of Filipinos were political prisoners.

I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they don't, that's too bad.

It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep.
