“ But, surely, it is time for the masses to enjoy first priority in the programs of the government.
As far as resources permit, to the best of our ability and the limit of our energy, we will put a roof over their heads, food on their tables, and clothes on their backs. We will educate their children and foster their health. We will bring peace and security, jobs and dignity to their lives. We will put more infrastructure at their service, to multiply their productivity and raise their incomes.

Portrait of Joseph Estrada Joseph Estrada,  Inaugural Address (1998)

“ These are the men and women who gave birth to the idea of Filipino freedom; who struggled in war to give it recognition; and worked in peace to make it come true. Cory Aquino brought freedom back after it was taken away and Fidel Ramos showed how power should respect the people's freedom of choice in elections.
They also began the slow and difficult work of making freedom more meaningful-not just for the rich but also for the poor who are more, but have nothing.
It is time. Time to speed up the improvement of the living conditions of the common people.
