“The Policies and Achievements of the Government and Regeneration of the Filipino” (Excerpt) by Manuel L. Quezon The aspect in his speech that I found the most interesting was "I want our people to grow and be like the molave, strong and resilient, rising on the hillside, unafraid of the raging flood, the lightning or the storm, confident of sits own strength. If we have the will to survive and the will to achieve social efficiency, we can not delay this task of spiritual regeneration. Let us begin to mold the typical Filipino.     To insure the accomplishment of this task of national spiritual reconstruction, we shall formulate and adopt a social code—a code of ethics and personal conduct—a written Bushido—that can be explained in the schools, preached from the pulpits, and taught in the streets and plazas, and in the remotest corners of our land. We shall indoctrinate every man, woman, and child in its precepts. By every means and power at my command, I shall strive to enforce its principles and to require that they be so universally and constantly observed, that our children may breathe it in the air and feel it in their very flesh. Every Filipino is a part and an objective of this great national movement, the success of which depends upon his own success in building up his character and developing his faculties."    I found it interesting because in his own words, you can really feel that he truly believes in his people and that he has high hopes for us. But since he has high hopes for us, he also laid out plans and methods in order to achieve his expectations. He also believes that the participation of everyone is needed for this movement to succeed.
