Setting the example
Ang unang hakbang ay ang pagkakaroon ng tuwid at tapat na hanay ng mga pinuno. Magsisimula ito sa akin. Sisikapin kong maging isang mabuting ehemplo!

Go!
For all the unworthy and the unqualified, especially those who got appointments by sheer political accommodation and connection, resign and relinquish your position.
For once in your life, summon some sense of propriety!
Please, resign and go!

Depart, I say;
and let us have done with you.
In the name of God, go!"
In the name of God, go!"
