President Quezon's Speech (At Camp Keithley, Lanao, June 6, 1936)

President Quezon

We must work together as one and help each other, I would rather have a country run like hell by Filipinos that a country run like heaven by the Americans, Because however a bad Filipino government might be, we can always change it.

People of Lanao :

Mindanao is one of the most important component of the Philippine archipelago. Many beautiful places can be found in lanao so people of lanao Let us have no more of that fiction that Moros and Christians cannot get along together; no more of that nonsense that Christian Filipinos cannot govern their non-Christian brothers. You, the Mohammedans, and you, the Christians, constitute one people, and over you preside a Chief Executive and a National Assembly elected by you, and you alone. Mohammedan Filipinos will receive exactly the same consideration, the same protection, the same treatments as the Christian Filipinos. In this country Mohammedan Filipinos will feel the weight of the hand of justice as much as the Christian Filipinos, if they violate our laws. The first and most important duty of every government is to maintain peace and order, and this duty will be performed by the Government of this Commonwealth. The first and most important duty of every citizen is to be peaceful and law-abiding, and I hope that this duty in turn will be performed by our people.
