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.

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

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

As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it.

You, the foreign media, have been the companion of my people in its long and painful journey to freedom.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.

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