". . . We are doing so at a time when the nation is torn, anguished, and bleeding,
when 54 million Filipinos cry for succor, when our countrymen are fast losing hope
that nonviolent means can restore those freedoms . . ."
- Joaquin "Chino" Roces
Chairman, Cory Aquino for President Movement
(from a speech delivered on October 15 1985)
