I prefer a government run like hell by Filipinos to a government run like heaven by Americans.
I want our people to be like a molave tree, strong and resilient, standing on the hillsides, unafraid of the rising tide, lighting and the storm, confident of its strength.
My loyalty to my party ends where my loyalty to my country begins.
I would rather have a country run like hell by Filipinos than a country run like heaven by the Americans, because however a bad Filipino government might be, we can always change it.
