It's very relaxing for me to sing. It's a good break from the hard training and the fighting.

I have to use my strengths, which [are] my speed, my quickness and my movements. If I do that, I really believe that I will come out on top.

You train hard and I'll train hard, and may the best man win, and good luck to both of us.

I can't walk down the streets. It's very difficult. I can't go to the mall. I have to go to hotels just to have a meal. Everybody wants to say hi and say thank you and congratulate me, so it's very difficult.

Obey God's law first before considering the laws of man.

I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.

I grew up in the Philippines, and I don’t think there is a problem with the typhoon. It’s normal for us.
