"I am so convinced that the Filipino is excellent. I have seen many, many examples of heroism, of nationalism, of love of country, of helping other people to become better, of loving families which is essentially at the very root of what it means to be a person, and in a larger scale, to be a Filipino."

"The Filipino is empathetic. When they sing a song, everybody says, there is something unique about the way Filipino sings a song, when they dance, there is something unique about the way Filipino expresses himself. What is that uniqueness? The uniqueness is that we feel it, we’re not only technically good, we feel what we are doing and that permeates everything that we do."
