We can see the worry in the face of Princess Jacel as she updates her father, her emotional appeal to end the attack against her father’s men, and her anger at Pres. Aquino.

“Sabah ang nagpapaganda at nagpapapangit ng relasyon natin with Malaysia mula po noong 1960s. Lumaki ang gulo natin sa Silangan dahil sa sigalot na yan. Ngayon po ay nagbago na. Partner na natin ang Malaysia sa pag uusap sa MILF. Tumulong ng isang dekada hangang umabot tayo sa pag pirma ng Framework Agreement. Tayo po ay maayos na lahi. Papasalamatan ba natin sila ng kaguluhan? Mali naman natin iyon.” — President Benigno Aquino III
