“We are trying to pull our country out of the
Dark Ages, of the dark continent into which
we have been destined by the elders before
us, by some of the Filipinos who forgot that
they, too, are Filipinos. And while they are
the elite of our society, they are not privileged
to colonize or to patronize other Filipinos.”
