My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.

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.

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

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

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 beyond logic and rationality.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.
