"The Filipino loves his country no less and although he is quieter, more peaceful and with difficulty stirred up, once aroused he does not hesitate. And for him the struggle means death to one or the other combatant. He has all the meekness and all the tenacity and ferocity of his carabao. Climate affects bipeds in the same way that it does quadrupeds." - Philippines: A Century Hence by Dr Jose Rizal
