I have been called brave in my time, but brave as I may have been against foreign invaders, I have no heart to shed Filipino blood.

My life has been devoted to the upliftment of the Filipino by reestablishing his identity and dignity.

I do not care how brave a president is; I do not care how many medals he may wear. I do not care how well trained his guards may be. If he violates the will of the people, he shall be eliminated.

Filipino talents and skills are becoming ubiquitous in many parts of the world. Returning Filipino workers have helped improve our skills and technological standards.

I'll take my destiny, whatever that may be, but I'm going to fight for my dignity and my honor.

My countrymen: we have reached a turning point in our history. The choice is yours. Shall we venture into this brave new world, bright with possibilities, or retreat to the safety of our familiar but sterile past? I am for crossing the frontier.
