And we are the reason why the world keeps coming back for more. No matter where the universe takes me, I'll always be proud to call the Philppines my home. And no matter what happens I will always be proud to call myself Pinoy."

"If I could choose to live in any woman’s shoes, it would be Apo Whang-Od. She’s an amazing symbol of cultural preservation. She’s an amazing symbol of ageism. She has been defying boundaries, stereotypes, and that is something that I have tried to inspire everybody around me as well, which is to own your unique story, own your traditions, love where you came from, love who you’re with, who you’re surrounded with. And truly, with that unique story, you can make your country proud. You can show the universe what your country has to offer.

"Don’t lend money you can’t afford to lose."

"Like I always say, winning or losing is not the beginning or the end. It’s only a step towards your own future, whatever it’s that you do."

"I think people should do what suits them and make them feel comfortable."

"Health, wealth, and time to spend it."

"I always wanted them to speak in their language, whatever they’re comfortable with…"

"In a way, I’m able to explain why I said this, I said that."

"I love the business as it is kasi it has made it very comfortable for me. Everything I have ( because of showbiz). A lot of what I have comes from the business."

"By being busy, working, having many friends."

"I think that’s the new age. That’s just how they are now."

"Now, they let kids make mistakes. Like my daughter (Isabelle). She let her children fall. And when they cried, that was fine. Unlike me before, when they fell, I got upset. It was very different."
