Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady; I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.
