I'm really proud to be Filipino. Filipinos are really supportive, and I want to thank all of them. I love them!

I do not like the way oppressed Filipinos are being treated now. They are oppressed and have no one to turn to.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

I articulate the deepest need of the Filipino people, which is reform of a corrupt culture.

I don't see myself as any different from all the other Filipinos who have gone abroad looking for opportunity, to be a nurse, a labourer, a maid or a prostitute.

I feel like I have adopted the Philippines as my second country.

We young Filipinos are trying to make over a nation and must not halt in our march, but from time to time turn our gaze upon our elders. We shall wish to read in their countenances approval of our actions.

My administration's compact with the Filipino people will demand no less than the attainment of lasting peace and equitable prosperity. We will employ all the tools at our disposal to achieve this.

It's in your DNA to be a Filipino; how can you just turn your back on it?
