“Citizens of good will from all walks of life are worried. They are concerned that damage is already being done to the country and our democracy. Uncertainty and the specter of a dictatorship are looming over our country once again,”
“After 6 years of the corrupt being on the run, we now face a possibility of a leader coming into power who cares nothing about honesty, integrity, transparency, responsibility, or even just basic decency. Sa harap ng lahat ng ito, responsibilidad ng kahit sinong mamuno na pag-isipan ang interes ng pangkalahatan”
“Sa tingin ko naman, sang-ayon ang lahat: Mas mahalaga ang kinabukasan ng ating bansa, kinabukasan ng ating mga kababayan, kaysa political career ng kahit sinumang politiko o kandidato,”
“I call for unity. I call for decency. I call for democracy. I call for the rule of law. I call on Senator Poe: Grace, mag-usap tayo (Grace, let’s talk). I will adjust schedules to your convenience. Sabihin mo lang kung saan at kailan, at darating ako. (Just say where and when, and I will come.) This is for unity, this is for our country, for our future.”
