Ang dangal ay hindi nasusukat sa panlabas na anyo kundi sa kabutihan ng kalooban. Honor is not measured by outward appearance but by the goodness of the heart. Gregoria de Jesus
Ang dangal ng isang babae ay hindi kayang tapakan ng kahit sino, dahil ito’y nakaugat sa kanyang puso at kaluluwa. A woman’s honor cannot be trampled by anyone, for it is rooted in her heart and soul. Gregoria de Jesus
Ang dangal ng isang babae ay nasa kanyang kakayahang ipagtanggol ang kanyang puri at karapatan. A woman’s honor lies in her ability to defend her dignity and rights. Gregoria de Jesus
Ang dangal ng isang bayan ay nasusukat sa dangal ng kanyang mga mamamayan. The honor of a nation is measured by the honor of its people. Josefa Llanes Escoda
Ang dangal ng isang tao ay nakikita sa kanyang pagiging tapat sa kanyang sinumpaang tungkulin. A person’s honor is seen in their fidelity to their sworn duty. Josefa Llanes Escoda
Ang tunay na dangal ng isang tao ay hindi nasusukat sa yaman kundi sa kanyang malasakit at pagmamahal sa kapwa. A person’s true honor is not measured by wealth but by their care and love for others. Josefa Llanes Escoda
President from 1965 until 1986; ruled under martial law after 1972. Estimated to have amassed $10 billion from corrupt activities. Born in northern Luzon in 1917; was brilliant law student. Claims to have been most decorated guerrilla during World War II later disputed. Cool and calculating but misruled badly, piled up huge foreign debt through lavish spending—yet consistently supported by United States. Blundered badly by calling election in 1986, underestimating appeal of his opposition. Flown aboard U.S. aircraft to exile in Hawaii.
