"Pasanin mo ang sarili mong krus.
Lakarin mo ang buong bayan.
Ikalat mo ang balitang may pag-asa.
Gisingin mo ang iyong mga kababayan
mula sa kanilang di-mapakaling pagtulog.
Hamunin mo sila, tulungan mo silang
itakwil ang pagkaalipin."

"Pick up your cross.
Walk across the land.
Spread the message of hope.
Awake your countrymen
from their stupor,
urge them, help them
throw off the yoke of tyranny. "

- excerpt from "Pick Up Your Cross" by Ninoy Aquino (1975). Filipino translation by Isagani R. Cruz. "Ninoy: mga Tula, Liham, at Talumpati" (pp. 40-41). Filipinas Heritage Library Collection.
