They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.

I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady; I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.

We practically own everything in the Philippines.

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

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

I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it's doable.

I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.
