In the Philippines, the host should always be willing to defer to the wishes of the guest.

My friends in the opposition have forgotten that the constitution of the Philippines was amended in 1973 with their participation. The constitution mandates the administration, including the Batasan, or legislature, to convert slowly into a semiparliamentary form of government. The president in such a situation can issue decrees and edicts.

Once a champion, always a champion.

History should not be left to the historians. Rather, be like Churchill. Make history, and then write it.

If you are a host to your guest, be a host to his dog also

Every guest hates the others, and the host hates them all
