I am beyond logic and rationality.

Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.

I beg Osama to stop warring. He is a Muslim, and Islam means peace. Nobody wins in a war... I wish I were tapped in the problem about Iraq. I knew Saddam enough that I could have talked him into surrendering. But it's too late.

My grandchildren are growing up and they could not understand why the Marcoses are still being crucified although we keep on telling them that we did not steal from the Filipino people.

The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don't give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.

In the material world, where everything is valued, when you commit yourself to God, beauty and love, it can be mistaken for extravagance.

I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.
