Here’s part of President Aquino’s Speech during TOYM 2013 Awarding Ceremony:
“Many people have asked me what will happen to the country when I step down from the presidency as if they’re implying that I am the only one putting in long days and nights for this country. Events like this remind all of us that there will never be a shortage of Filipinos who are willing to take on the task of nation building. In fact, there are so many of us who are working to uplift and empower our fellowmen.”
