My grandchildren are growing up and they could not understand why the Marcoses are still being crucified although we keep on telling them that we did not steal from the Filipino people.

The Philippines is a terrible name, coming from Spain. Phillip II was the father of the inquisition, who I believe died of syphilis. It is my great regret that we didn't change the name of our country.

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

I would have to ask the public to choose between a culture of hate or a culture of love. I am sure our poor will pick the latter. With the Marcos assets, we could regain this value of sharing love with one another.

We practically own everything in the Philippines.

I have a different way of thinking. I think synergistically. I'm not linear in thinking, I'm not very logical.
