More than life, I value vindication. When you are at peace with the truth and you know that you are on the side of the right and God is on your side, you are not afraid of anything, including jail.

I am First Lady by accident. I was not elected by the people but here I am.

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

I'm like Robin Hood. I rob the rich to make these projects come alive... not really rob. It's done with a smile.

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

If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.

The problems with First Ladies is that you have to set the standard. My role is to be both star and slave.
