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

God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.

The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.

If the shoe fits, buy it.

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.

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.

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