There is much that women can bring into politics that would make our world a kinder, gentler place for humanity to thrive in.

Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.

I believe that during these times, we should not forget that many sacrificed to regain our democracy.

I know my limitations, and I don't like politics. I was only involved because of my husband.

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

My biggest disappointment was, of course, the coup attempts, ... The economy was proceeding very well, but in 1989 we had the most serious coup attempt and ... many of the investors who were set to come here had to tell me that they chose to go to other countries because of the uncertainty brought about by (the coup attempt.) If that had not happened, I'm sure our economy would just be booming today.

It wasn't until we got over the self pity that we were able to accept suffering as apart of our life with Christ. A man or woman reaches this plane only when he or she ceases to be the hero.
