Atty. Pablito V. Sanidad
“It is for us to honor her memory by keeping alive the principles she stood for in public service and use them to judge those who may wish to lead this country and claim that they have the best interests of our people at heart.”

“If there is anything that Haydee’s life has shown us, it is this: You can tell the truth and get away with it. You can tell the truth and still be so loved, so respected and so feared. Haydee knew, much more than anyone in public life today, the awesome power of truth, of honesty and of personal integrity.”

Graeco Paul Antipasado
“And I cannot say with certainty if there will even be another Haydee Yorac. For now, I can only hold out hope and optimism, because that is what Atty. Yorac reignited in me.”
