I will prove my innocence, ... I guarantee the Filipino people that I will be vindicated because the truth is on my side.
Through the ballot, we can defend our democracy from the threat of dictatorship.
I hope that the truth shall eventually give me back my freedom.
I'm convinced I will be cleared of all these charges that were unfairly leveled against me.
My term ends in June 2004 and I have no intention to change that.
The truth will come out in the end.
