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.

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

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 get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.

Our opponent [Cory Aquino] does not put on any make up. She does not have her fingernails manicured. You know gays. They are for beauty. Filipinos who like beauty, love and God are for Marcos.

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.

Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
