As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it.

It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep.

You, the foreign media, have been the companion of my people in its long and painful journey to freedom.

The only thing I can really offer the Filipino people is my sincerity.

It is not I who have been consigned to the bedroom of history.

As our country bled . . . its leader's wife came to this podium piously to call for a new human order, this when thousands of Filipinos were political prisoners.

I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.

I acknowledged that I owed my presidency to People Power. I resolved during my presidency that I would in turn empower the people.

I know my limitations, and I don't like politics. I was only involved because of my husband.

The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

The government cannot do everything all at once. It can't wave a magic wand and meet everyone's demands simultaneously.

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

One must be frank to be relevant.

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

The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.

Keep inviolate an area of light and peace within you.

I know there isn't anything I can do that will please everybody. But if I have done according to my beliefs, I sleep very very well.

It's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

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