"As a country in the path of typhoons and in the Pacific Rim of Fire, we must be prepared as the late..." — Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

The military is faithful to the constitution. They will come in only to protect the people from the enemies of the state.

Filipino businessmen must have the ability to compete freely in the global economy.

In a global arena, what our businessmen need in order to be competitive is transparency and a level playing-field.

We must promote solid traits such as work ethics, a dignified lifestyle, matching actions to rhetoric, performance rather than grandstanding.
