The Philippines has no policy that demands sacrifice of human lives.

The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.

It is simply the truth that the political system that I am part of has degenerated to the point that it needs fundamental change.

The Philippines has no policy that demands sacrifice of human lives.

The Philippines and the U.S. have had a strong relationship with each other for a very long time now. We have a shared history. We have shared values, democracy, freedom, and we have been in all the wars together in modern history, the World War, Second World War, Cold War, Vietnam, Korea, now the war on terrorism.

I want justice to be so pervasive that it will be taken for granted, just as injustice is taken for granted today.

Optimism is infectious, and opportunity irresistible. Progress follows progress. Someone, even government, just has to get it started.
