By and large, our political system has betrayed its promise to each new generation of Filipinos, not a few of whom are voting with their feet, going abroad and leaving that system behind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I articulate the deepest need of the Filipino people, which is reform of a corrupt culture.
I do not like the way oppressed Filipinos are being treated now. They are oppressed and have no one to turn to.
The Philippines is a country in which a man of morals can't be president, in which a politician who hasn't been linked to any wrongdoing isn't assumed to be honest, but merely better at hiding his corruption.
Filipinos are not worse than any other colonized people except that our colonization was a little longer, and the independence movement was always dictated in political terms, never in social ones. We borrowed terms, but we didn't understand them.
Should Filipinos decide to have me as their leader, I will ensure that just like in Makati, everyone will benefit from whatever development our country would attain. No one will be left behind.
I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.
I really do not know. I really do not know how to solve the problem of the Philippines. I cannot be the savior of this republic.
Our educational system should make the Filipino fit not just for whatever jobs happen to be on offer today, but also for whatever economic challenge life will throw in their way.
As the leader of the nation, I say in behalf of the Filipino people to the world: we are strong and principled believers in democracy.
If the Philippines must remain under the control of Spain, they will necessarily have to be transformed in a political sense, for the course of their history and the needs of their inhabitants so require.
