"Money is a tool. It’s neutral. It’s not alive. Something dead cannot make me happy. There was a time I was surrounded with so much money, living the worldly life, what every woman dreams of: traveling the world, living in a big beautiful house, and driving expensive cars, and being surrounded by luxury, the latest it bags, the best branded clothes. But without God... I was not happy. That’s when I discovered that this is not what makes me happy after all."

"To obey God in giving tithes. Tithes is 10 percent of gross income, gross salary. When I first encountered this, I was like “What???” But when you come to think of it, all our money is God’s and He’s just sharing it with us and we’re to be faithful stewards. If we can prove to Him we can be good managers, He will bless us with more."

"Now that I'm a mother, I would probably say, the priority when you're pregnant is to take care of your body.

So I believe it would be best and wise for her to step down."

"I surrendered myself to God. I read the bible and learned about Jesus more…. Dito na talaga nagsimula ang turnaround ng buhay ko. Nothing in my life was working that time, but the only change was when I surrendered my life to Jesus."

"I’m getting emotional because I feel that it’s really a privilege. I’m turning 50 this year, and God allowed me to live this long so that I can share the beauty and the story of transformation and redemption that he has done in my life and for other people."

"You need people to encourage you, especially when you’re most tempted to give up."

"My dream was to really live by the beach, and Boracay is one of the best beaches in the world, it was the best decision we ever made."

"When the Lord gave me the man who I truly deserve to be with for the rest of my life—everything changed for the better."

"Everything is good. Life can only be better if you are with the man, you truly love."

"Climate change is so compelling that we need to do something about it."
