Before September 11, we were fighting terrorism in our southwestern Philippines, and it was a lonely fight. However, we were able to contain it now in one island in that part of the Philippines. But after September 11, and after the creation of the global coalition against terrorism, now we have allies, and I believe now it will easier with allies.

While there's been much progress on terrorism, there's still much work to do and it is very important that the countries work together in order to address this threat together.

I follow my father's philosphy; 'Do what is good, do what is right, and God will take care of the rest.'

The military is faithful to the constitution. They will come in only to protect the people from the enemies of the state.

I will follow my father's footsteps by doing what is right, and God will take care of the rest. My father is my role model. My living role model is Cory Aquino.

In the harshest possible terms, I condemn political killings.
