"As much as I don’t want to, I need to close this chapter in my life. I thought I was okay but today I realized that I might not be as ok as I thought I was. It finally sunk in that I am no longer part of it. Today, I found myself crying because I am still not ready to let go of this dream but I know I have to and I know God has better plans."

"There are times when we really choose the partner who is not right for us. We are exposed to guys who may be popular and good-looking. But somehow, the right one will also come."

"I have this passion to help women heal, get over bitterness, find accountability."

"People evolve, you just have to try something new, and if it fails, then, okay, you learned from it. Try something else."

"Find your purpose. From there, all the right dreams will follow."

"For me it would be the first one. The final question asked was who was the influential person, it’s more personal. It’s easier to answer something that’s personal and nothing scripted and about the war and something heavy. So for me, if you answer something that comes from your heart, it’s easy, the flow is very easy. You know like your values, go back to your personal life, your core values, it's easy to answer that."

"My biggest realization when I gave birth to Coco [Corinth's nickname] was how great God’s love is for humanity. Now that I had my own son, imagining what it would feel like to sacrifice him for everyone else’s sins—this concept and ultimately love—suddenly became so real to me."

"A lot of individuals would always bring you down. But I say this because I was able to experience this, I was able to battle this by giving myself positive affirmations such as 'I am worthy', 'I am capable', and 'I can do anything through my power and through my own voice.' That's what every individual should do to have their own self-worth."

"No, I don’t feel any pressure right now! Well, my family’s role for me is so important because there was the wa- they’re, they was the one who’s very (laughs). Oh I’m so sorry. Um, my family, my family. Oh my god. I’m… Ok, I’m so sorry. I, I told you that I’m so confident… Eto, um, wait… (laughs). Um, sorry guys because this was really my first pageant ever because I’m only 17 years old and (laughs) I, I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of the top 10. Hmmm, so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you. (Her unforgettable answer in Binibining Pilipinas 2008)"

"What flows, flows. What crashes, crashes. What’s meant to be, will be!"

"Ako, I'm the type of person to listen and understand. And then I learn from everyone else. It's not like I [only] learn from my own situations, but I learn from other people's situations too... I learned so much from each and every person inside the house."

"I think everyone needs just some rest and relaxation and that’s what the Dream Spa is all about – beautiful things and a beautiful lymphatic massage."

"Dream Cream instantly hydrates your skin. Its lightweight and gentle formula is packed with skin-plumping hyaluronic acid and ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture for non-stop hydration."

"Because the way that your skin just feels after is just right. We always say that it’s like a glass of water for your skin."

"Having a self-care routine is very, very important."

"I love to go out on the beach, out in the sun. I surf a lot."

"Because if you don't give yourself enough time, you'll be cranky, you'll be angry, your patience varies."

"And I feel like if I forgo this pageant career, then I would spend the rest of my life regretting why I didn’t do it. It was such a difficult decision, but it paid off. It paid off eventually and I’m just so glad that I made that decision, I made that risk."

"As I go around the elderly havens, I've seen the need to lobby for more facilities for them, where they can still be allowed to be productive and to pursue greater things with the help of the GOVERNMENT, their FAMILIES, and respective COMMUNITY."

"It serves also as a message to everyone that if your dreams mean more to you than money, than fame, or than anything else, then it’s worth pursuing. It’s worth risking everything. You can see that in the life that I live. And now I am proud to be Bb. Pilipinas Globe. I left my life there, but I’m beginning anew here. And I began it with a bang."

"So parang, at least when you have your peace, you get to be safe and you're happy again with your child."

"Right from the start, I've been actively campaigning for more opportunities and programs for our elderly population."

"This journey of mine is a testament really that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams. I was already — I mean I’m already 26 when I took this leap of faith, but it paid off in the end. So just be brave in your decisions in life and fully commit to it and it will pay off."

"An important part of my Bininining Pilipinas journey is my social cause for our SENIOR CITIZENS."

"Number one, definitely don't forget to wear your sunblock!"

"More than anything else, it should be embraced and celebrated. It should be seen as a phase of culmination of everything beautiful about our individual lives."

"When you surf, because you put sunblock, it's slippery, on the board. Never mind the sun block."

"“I have always believed in your mission of creating meaningful connections for people with IDD to gain self-confidence and self-esteem,”"

"I spent it building my career (in Dubai), building it from scratch. I started from zero. And when I was finally in a position where I was already comfortable in terms of my lifestyle in Dubai, I was already 26, and I felt that this chapter or this aspect in my life, it’s not yet complete."

"Can’t wait baby!!!"

"Always moisturize and don't forget to bring aloe vera gel! Anything cooling if you go out in the sun."

"Building something magical."

"Aging will always be part of one's life, so getting old should not be greeted with fear."

"“And also to the ambassador, just like what he told me earlier, is to really enjoy my time in Japan when I go there. Because that is something that I also want to do, not just to be there for the competition, but to enjoy every aspect of the Japanese culture,”"

"“As a Filipino, we have strong ties with the Japanese. And I want to bring that friendship that we have with Japan when I go there, and to introduce the similarities of our culture to the other candidates, to share with them how beautiful our friendship is with Japan,”"

"I just want to encourage women to one, always uplift and support one another; to always believe in yourself and never underestimate your capabilities, and know that we are the best in everything that we do and the world would not exist if it weren’t for us, so never forget that!"

"“I want to highlight what I did here, and will definitely share this with everyone when I go to Japan. This is actually a flex, for the ambassador to be the first to taste the tea that I made,”"

"When someone makes fun of your looks, let our response be ‘still beautiful’."

"But more than anything, as a friend, I just want to make [Wurtzbach], my team, proud. But more than them, I just want to make the entire Philippines proud. So for her to believe in me means the universe."

"Let it be, let it flow."

"It was a great experience but there are things you really have to be brave about other stuff like letting somebody go. Aside from loving bravely, there are other types of bravery we do in our lives."

"Having my friends, and my team, and my family, and a lot of the fans come out and show their vocal and very public support, it really meant the world to me to know that I actually had the capabilities to do it, and in a massive support system behind me. So it was definitely encouraging and, definitely, that one last and final push that I needed to announce my joining and candidacy."

"I'll go the extra mile to share an experience with somebody. I never want to do something by myself. The best experiences are always shared with someone so that they can bring them home to their loved ones and create that ripple effect."

"The biggest thing when it comes to well-being is a reason to get up in the morning. You need a sense of purpose, you need to feel needed and that usually comes when you're with a community, when you have people who believe in you."

"Everybody is both smart and beautiful in their own ways."

"'You only live once,' so make it count and live. Live longer and healthier. I have travelled, lived in different countries, joined and won beauty competitions, started acting, and became a host/presenter, but nothing beats a healthy mind and body."

"If you want light to come into your life, STAND WHERE IT IS SHINING!' You are braver than you believe and stronger than you think! Kaya natin 'to!"

"Before you do or change your diet or drink something, make sure you don’t have bad health history problems! Always ask your doctors!"

"You don’t rely on luck. A lot of people would tell you that you need a stroke of luck but you pave your own way and intend to fulfil your own destiny for yourself, and that’s just what Cat did."

"These kids, they do not need us to win wars for them. They need us to build a world for them that will allow them to dream, to grow, to live."
