And now here I am, Kori Akino, the widow of Ninoa Akino. Somebody who has been highly visible the past two and a half years and during the past electoral campaign, I was seen in 68 provinces. So, I would just like to remind Mr. Marcos and his supporters, if it is not only Kori Akino that you are fighting, you are fighting millions of Filipinos, so you better think long and hard before you decide to do anything with Kori Akino. And I hope I will always have your support and certainly I will do my very best so that I will be worthy of the trust and confidence that you have reponed in me. Maran, Maran, salana, por favor.

And I searched my concerns and I felt that I could not serve a government that is not expressive of the sovereign will. As of now, I cannot inconscience recognize the president as Michael as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. And I am appealing to my brother members of the cabinet to heed the will of the people expressed during the last election because in my own region, I know that we cheated the election to the extent of 350,000 votes. We will stay here until we are all killed. We are here to stay a stand. If any one of us will be killed, I think all of us must be killed. The question that I ask myself before I came before you is, is it worth living to serve a government that does not really represent the will of the people? Mr. Marcos, I don't think he is the newly elected president of the Philippine of India. That is why we are withdrawing our allegiance to him.
As our commander-in-chief, as of this moment, we still like in average. I have with Minister Inreli and the reason for my being here, ladies and gentlemen, is that because the armed forces of the Philippines are cease to be the real armed forces of the country, which is supposed to be the defender of public safety and enforcer of the law. I am withdrawing my support for the President, that power and authority that is legally with me as the commander of the Philippine Constabulary and the Integrated National Police, and the very little that I have as bicycle staff. The President of the President of Marcos, who is the president of the United States, is the president of Marcos. He is the head of the President of Marcos, who is the head of the President of Marcos. The President of the Philippine Constabulary, who is the head of the President of Marcos, is the head of the President of Marcos. to save us from ISIS & men in Jerusalem from today was visited by我們的 collective civilian.
