I believe that during these times, we should not forget that many sacrificed to regain our democracy.

I believe that during these times, we should not forget that many sacrificed to regain our democracy. We cannot just keep quiet because that is what happened during martial law. Our dictator then believed that he can do anything to keep himself in power.

I am not an icon of democracy. You are all, collectively, the icon of democracy.

This is really shocking. It's really a pity to lose our democracy again.

I don't have any formula for ousting a dictator or building democracy. All I can suggest is to forget about yourself and just think of your people. It's always the people who make things happen.

I am not embarrassed to tell you that I believe in miracles.
