 Tapos na ang panahon kung kailan ang Pilipino ay kuntentong nakapako sa lokasyon, nag-aabang ng susunod na tutulak sa kanya, nakaantabay sa susunod na pagkadapa. Ngayong nakabangon na tayo, halina't umusad na rin po tayo; halina't akayin ang kapwa't ituon ang paningin sa hinaharap; halina't pagpagin ang mga agam-agam at dumiretso tungo sa katuparan ng ating mga pangarap.

— Mula sa talumpati ni Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino III noong ika-27 anibersaryo ng EDSA People Power Revolution

Sa pagsagip at paglilikas ng mga naiipit sa kaguluhan sa ibang bayan o nasa panganib ang buhay sa panahon ng sakuna, buong giting kayong rumeresponde para sa kapakanan ng kapwa Pilipino.
