For voicing out his nationalist sentiments, Vice President
Teofisto Guingona, Jr was called a "communist."
His reply:
"When
I speak out for the protection of the nation, that
includes Filipinos of whatever creed or conviction.
When I fought for human rights during martial law,
I stood for all Filipinos, regardless of ideology.
"And when I humbly propose certain measures today which
I believe will be good for the economy, I do not do
so for vested interest or communists but for the people
in general, especially the poor and downtrodden who
need help."
