There are many things we do not want about the world. Let us not just mourn them. Let us change them.

Let us not be so naive as to think that revolution is just a matter of social or economic discontent.

We want the Israelis to leave. They want to leave - so let us let them leave.

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

There are many challenges, there are many obstacles; let us try to change the obstacles to advantages.

Whatever be the challenges, whatever be the obstacles before us, I say to you as I say to everybody else that we will overcome.
