Bayanisms

(His quotable quotes)

All the men of wisdom have them- and BF joins their ranks!

  1. Magbihis nang angkop, bilang paggalang sa iyong sarili at upang igalang ka rin ng iyong kapwa.
  2. A man may be a king in his domain but once he sets foot on the sidewalk, he has to bear in mind that he is bound by the rules of society and has to live by them.
  3. The people have to touch and smell the river water. It is hoped that this exposure will galvanize them to muster enough political pressure for the government and the rest to act and conserve the river.
  4. Kailangang mangibabaw ang makatarungang kapakanan ng nakararami laban sa pagkakanya-kanya (anarkiya). Pantay-pantay kung may disiplina.
  5. Ang pamayanang may paniniwala sa kanyang pamahalaan ay umuunlad.
  6. Our main concern is to see the people of metro manila with an uplifted spirit, proud in self-dignity and honor, full of self-respect, observant, concerned with the government and his fellowmen and that each man shall be a symbol of hope, aware of his social responsibilities.
  7. For change to happen, order must be put in first.
  8. Ang disiplina sa bangketa ay para sa lahat, lalong higit sa mahihirap na siyang naglalakad ditto.
  9. Bilang isang namumuno, masakit man sa aking kalooban ay hindi ako maaaring makiiyak sa mahihirap, sapagkat kung bulag sa luha ang aking mga mata, sino pa ang aakay sa kanila?.
  10. Good taste, together with discipline and excellence are the three basic values we uphold and consistently promote in the city. They are guiding principles in ensuring that quality consciousness becomes a key ingredient in the conceptualization and implementation of our programs and services. Similarly, these are the very values that we encourage our constituents to live by.
  11. Bureaucracy must operate in an environment of transparency in order to win people’s respect and confidence.
  12. As leaders, we are expected not only to carry on but to do better and make it faster because the sands of time are running out in many of our fellow citizens. I believe that progress must come faster, otherwise, more people will go to bed on empty stomachs. Progress must come sooner otherwise more children will miss their milk bottle, their school and joys of childhood. Progress must come faster, otherwise, more people will get sick, lose their jobs and give up homes.
