"“That’s why we have to demand it, as voters [and] as people. It is our job as voters to be more noisy about ‘right namin 'to, right namin na mapanuod kayo.’ Gusto namin marinig more than your jingle, more than your TikTok dance, whatever. What are you about–– we want to know. We have to demand this. This is our right. It’s like being in a bad relationship. If you accept it, and you’re okay with it, aren’t you kind of accountable? You have to speak up. We have to reclaim our voice as the voting public."

"I let it go, I found genuine happiness. And as much as my life is probably not as extravagant—nothing close to my life before—I couldn't be any happier."

"No parent is perfect, but I'd rather mine be messy from living fully."

"2016 wasn’t just about being successful. It was about becoming."

"Every now and then, it’s always nice to get out and see and explore our home, our own island home because it helps us fall in love back again on this island."

"The life I get to live with my family and loved ones is a gift in itself already, and receiving warm greetings from all of you is the cherry on top. My heart is full."

"I've found peace in slowing down, raising my beautiful babies by the sea, with nature all around,"

"I turned 35.✨ embracing the privilege of going on another lap around the sun.🌞 Growing wiser, and with a deeper appreciation for the simple island life I chose"

"Live in the moment and build more meaningful relationships, spend your money creating all of these memories rather than things you'll probably won't remember."

"Physical beauty is part of the package, but real beauty is inside."

"I'm not yet a star. I have to earn it."

"I entered the industry not to be rich and famous. I entered because I wanted to act."

"I just stopped caring about the way I looked."

"I feel like after a year of not having her around or not hearing her voice, it made me realize that I was just in autopilot mode since she passed away. I wasn't okay, but I have children. And so I pretty much lived every day in survival mode."

"It's been difficult losing my mom."

"As she herself, her life itself was her greatest obra maestra."

"We'd just like to say that her undeniable legacy will definitely forever live on through her work, through her children, grandchildren, and the many lives she's touched."

"Do not “give power to your tiredness.”"

"Good motivation is when one tries to be mindful of one’s acts. Doing things consistently could be beneficial to one’s self."

"“A little research or a life coach can go a long way in providing the how-tos. And in Scripture after Scripture, God encourages us to ‘be strong and courageous,’ because the battles we face are actually His to win, if only we seek His help. Bringing Him into the fight with us makes fear start to fall away.”"

"“If forming good habits were easy, we’d all be happy, healthy, and fit comfortably in that cute party dress. But it’s the good habits that give us a run for our money, right? Which means we need to bring our best to the effort.”"

"“So yeah, at the end of the day, you give hope in your own way, but you also give a chance to people who are running and really want to serve by helping them out.”"

"To let them express what they feel. So, it’s also difficult (for us) because sometimes you carry it with you all the way home. You really get affected, especially when the story involves millennials who grew up abandoned by their mother and father. The latest was someone who didn’t receive any love from a mother.” These are the things that are hard to let go of because you know that in your own small way, you could really help them, and it’s not always financial. Just by listening to them, it’s already a form of aid that we are doing in the program."

"I, in my capacity as President of the Cinemalaya Foundation, will be able to help the MMDA improve its coverage of this aspect of the Metro Manila Film Festival. Because alternative films are really there also to complement and to also give another view of... to complete the view of what Filipino films are in this country."

"Criticisms are unavoidable. Filmmaking is really like that. These filmmakers should consider themselves lucky because they are in a friendly environment—they have our full support. Imagine if they decided to start on their own.”"

"So I just said what I felt like saying. I didn’t know it was going to grow into this huge thing."

"I cannot depend my happiness anymore on somebody else."

"It would be better to have somebody, to have a companion, but if it is not meant to be, I can use myself, my being for a greater purpose. Maybe I am out there to help people, to be for other, not only to be for one person."

"I hope we can all be reminded of caring with other human beings."

"I just hope we can all be reminded of love, of compassion and forgiveness."

"In His time, I God's time."
