"Peñaflorida hasn’t just wondered," Conrado de Quiros said, "he has acted. He has acted to try to recover that lost generation, to try to bring it to find its way. What he has done indicts government more implacably than any ranting against it, exposing its crime for all to see. What he has done may seem trifling, but the greatest things often have the most trifling beginnings. He has taken the road not taken, and it has made all the difference."Right now, he’s the best pound-for-pound fighter we have."

First-aid solution to education. Peñaflorida recognized the limit of his efforts. His "Kariton Klasroom," he said, "is only a paunang lunas." Soon it will have to say goodbye when the educational system is already all right.

Indicting the government. de Quiros is right: What Peñaflorida "has done indicts government more implacably than any ranting against it." People like Peñaflorida couldn't have emerged had the government been doing its job of providing education to all.
