says "Joojee"

“I’m grateful for having been appointed Regional Trial Court judge by President Aquino in 1987. I will not fail her. She was an icon of democracy, a light in the dark days of martial law. Despite all odds, she led the opposition to oust the dictator.

She taught the extreme right and the extreme left that violence and armed struggle are not the only means of taking political power. She proved that we don’t need brilliant leaders but honest and clean people to lead the government.

Thank you for the 1987 Constitution. Thank you for democracy. Thank you for the appointment.”
