I know there isn't anything I can do that will please everybody. But if I have done according to my beliefs, I sleep very very well.

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

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

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 was very privileged and really blessed with so many material and spiritual gifts that I should give back, ... I should do something for my people, but ... it's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

I believe that during these times, we should not forget that many sacrificed to regain our democracy. We cannot just keep quiet because that is what happened during martial law. Our dictator then believed that he can do anything to keep himself in power.

The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.
