"National leaders who find themselves wilting under the criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest."
-Cory Aquino

Saints vs. Heros
"Saints are touched by the hand of God, they do no wrong, they are faultless, full of the light of heaven—but they belong behind glass cases, painted eyes lit by Christmas lights, of little use in a country where every man is a sinner because he lives. Heroes make themselves. They are human, their faults are their own, and their extraordinariness is not in their perfection, but in their struggle."
- Patricia Evangelista, "After Cory"
