Renato Reyes Quotations

Since we've had many rallies before, ... it's now easier to organize. People are more disciplined, and they know their roles.

patently illegal because it would curtail peoples right to express themselves in what is believed to be a historic rally site and freedom park.

We will leave. But we will not abandon our stand.

What is noticeable from the moves of the administration is that they are merely concerned with short-term responses that aim to elicit short-term public approval. Why is it that the oil monopolies and their profits remain untouchable? Why is it that the oil deregulation law remains untouchable?

It's quite an irony that we're commemorating martial law and we see that the militarist mind-set is so deep in this administration, ... The standard response to protest actions are massive troop and police deployment. These things are obviously intended to intimidate people, short of what Marcos did in 1972.

The lessons of people power are not lost to the anti-Arroyo movement.
