Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.
From Corazon Aquino
I acknowledged that I owed my presidency to People Power. I resolved during my presidency that I would in turn empower the people.
I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.
I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.
You, the foreign media, have been the companion of my people in its long and painful journey to freedom.
You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. And here you have a people who won it by themselves and need only the help to preserve it.
The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.
I know my limitations, and I don't like politics. I was only involved because of my husband.
One must be frank to be relevant.
It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep.
