I don't have any formula for ousting a dictator or building democracy. All I can suggest is to forget about yourself and just think of your people. It's always the people who make things happen.

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

It's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

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.

The government cannot do everything all at once. It can't wave a magic wand and meet everyone's demands simultaneously.

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