People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.

It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.

I have no weakness for shoes. I wear very simple shoes which are pump shoes. It is not one of my weaknesses.

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

What's wrong with shoes? I collected them because it was like a symbol of thanksgiving and love?

I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone, people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food.
