"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny;
when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

I believe that the Constitution is a good one as a theoretical guarantee of liberty and human rights. But writing constitutional documents is the easiest part, making it work is the real test. -- "a living constitution The Ramos Presidency" by Joaquin G. Bemas, S.J. first printing 1999 & second printing 2000 page 36

JOSÉ PROTACIO RIZAL MERCADO Y ALONSO REALONDA (born 19 June 1861, Calamba, Philippines- died 30 December 1896, Manila, Philippines), patriot, physician and man of letters whose life and literary works were an inspiration to the Philippine nationalist movement.

QUESTION: To Jose Rizal, what is the most important contribution of every Filipino to his country’s progress?

ANSWER: The main thing is that every Filipino must be a good man, a good citizen so that he can help his country to progress by contributing his heart, and if need, be his arm. (With the head and heart, we ought to work always; with the arm when the time comes when physical strength is needed. The principal tool of the heart and the head is the pen. Other prefer the brush; others the chisel. On my part, I prefer the pen.)
