*"Ang pangalan ko ay Jose Paolo De Jesus. Hindi ko kailanman tinawag ang aking sarili na si Alyas Robin Hood. Sapagkat sinasagisag ni Alyas Robin Hood ang mga taong nasaktan. At tulad ng sa akin, gusto kong bumangon pabalik. Ngunit ano ang ginawa ng makapangyarihang mga tao? Pinatay nila ang aking ama. Nilipol nila ang aking mga pangarap. Sinasagisag ni Alyas Robin Hood ang mga taong walang pagnanais kung hindi mapahintulutan ng lipunan. Sinasagisag ni Alyas Robin Hood ang mga taong hindi maaaring gumawa ng anumang bagay kundi upang i-save ang ibang tao nang walang anumang pagbabayad. Lahat tayo ay si Alyas Robin Hood! ""*
