I salute the 51 congressmen who voted (for the impeachment complaints.) It's not over yet. There will always be hope.

I am not an icon of democracy. You are all, collectively, the icon of democracy.

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.

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

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

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'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.
