Corazon C. Aquino quotes
All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.
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.
It is not I who have been consigned to the bedroom of history.
One must be frank to be relevant.
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 nation was awakened by that deafening shot.
They came out in the millions to show their dogged support for the woman the dictatorship claimed it had defeated in the election.
You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. And here you have a people who won it by themselves and need only the help to preserve it.
You, the foreign media, have been the companion of my people in its long and painful journey to freedom.
