Atty. Jacqueline De Guia:
"The exercise on human dignity is to focus on persons. Looking at the person himself and not the numbers. If you look at the numbers it becomes impersonal."

"Participation is the exercise of citizenship... We cannot exercise participation in an environment that restricts that. We cannot exercise participation if you are not empowered to do so. That would relate to education, health, security..."
