Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo System Quotations

Our political system needs changing. It needs to move away from personalities and patronage to a system of party programs and consultation with the people.

By and large, our political system has betrayed its promise to each new generation of Filipinos, not a few of whom are voting with their feet, going abroad and leaving that system behind.

Our educational system should make the Filipino fit not just for whatever jobs happen to be on offer today, but also for whatever economic challenge life will throw in their way.

We must weed out corruption and build a strong system of justice that the people can trust.

In all the things I've gone through as a politician, I have seen that in this system it is really very difficult to make any headway without being somehow tainted. And let me say, 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.'
