“Bakit mga bata, dahil sila ang kasalukuyan at kinabukasan ng ating bayan. So, sila ang magiging katuwang natin para ipagpatuloy ang mithiing pangmatagalang kapayapaan ng ating rehiyon at ng ating bansa—kaya ngayon palang umaagapay at sumusuporta na tayo sa kanila,” Disamburun said. 

(Why children? Because they are the present and future of the nation. So, they will be our partners to continue the long-term peace of our region and our country—that is why we are now accompanying and supporting them.)
