- Corona: Hindi kaila sa lahat na ginamit ng administrasyon ang buong makinarya ng gobyerno laban sa akin.
- Corona: Wag tayong maniwala na ito ay laban sa katiwalian. Kung ganun lang, may katiwalian bang ibinintang sa akin?
- Corona: Ako ba ay hadlang sa kung ano o kung kanino o kaya'y tinik sa lalamunan? So far po, lahat ng nakita ko rito, ay hatred.
- Corona: Hindi ba tamang sabihing "Tama na ang pagkawatak-watak ng bayan?" Hindi ba ito dahilan bakit hirap umusad ang pamahalaan?
