Paper for English Mimic Speech

There’s a crisis in this country. These drugs. We might still end up like the South
American countries and their fractured governments.

I am declaring war, I am not ordering the police to just a few punitive actions,
that’s why it was not me or I that declared the drug problem and placed it at a level
as a national security threat. It was President Arroyo then who was so worried
about the problem that she raised it to the level of, as a national security threat and
therefore, calling the Armed Forces to do something about it, if the military will
not do its part and leave it to the police alone, we cannot ever ever suppress drug
problem.

Powerful statements but very limited. Do not ever commit the mistake, Filipinos,
of going into a pure Parliament. It would be disaster for this country. Somebody
should hold the Armed Forces and the Police to control the country. In the mean
time that we march forward to the progress to the next century and after this,
children and— our children will improve on it but at this time, it would be good to
have a federal system because the present unitary type has done us no good.

I said I will fight criminality and drugs. Most of the criminal acts are really on the
account of the drug menace. So I will not relent, the campaign will be continuous
and I will be, as I have said in the campaign rallies all over the country, I will be
harsh as I can ever be.
