The Japanese People Will Prevail


I once had the good fortune of traveling to Japan as a participant in a Philippine - Japan Friendship Program and I remember I was very much impressed not only by the country's great natural beauty but also by its culture and people as well.

The Japanese have an enviable sense of community, discipline and order that enabled them to attain a high level of economic progress. I believe that it is these very same traits that will make the Japanese people overcome and prevail over the devastating triple tragedy of an earthquake, tsunami and a nuclear crisis that hit their country.

Like they have done time and again in the face of adversity, I know the Japanese people will prevail.

Ganbatte Kudasai!
