'Celebrate our History' 

"I dream of a Philippines where we celebrate our history, we honor our ancestors, especially our heroes and heroines. And all the ordinary people we never forget, we remember those who went before us."

 

 

(Quote from then Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros in an interview with Manila Bulletin in 2009)
