"Culture is not mere adornment; it is a vital engine of livelihood and economic growth."

"Seize the moment? No. Create it."

"What we choose to preserve today—our knowledge, our traditions, our stories—will ripple through time, shaping lives long after we are gone."

"Let us work continuously, conscientiously, and collectively - moving and transforming our nation and society from a state of fragility to one of agility."

"These terraces endure because of the quiet brilliance of a people who, long before the world had the language for it, understood sustainability, engineering, and balance."

"I would be doing Filipinos injustice if I did not work hard to be able to address their concerns, respond to their needs and protect their rights and welfare."
