The Pope is having dinner at your place, what would you cook for him?

I will probably serve the Pope my specialty, kare-kare.

How much time do you spend in the bathroom?

When I am not pressed for time I usually spend around 45 minutes because that is also the time I wax and pluck my eyebrows.

The person you would like to see as President of the Philippines?

 I don’t have anyone in my mind at the moment. I would probably know when they start laying their real cards on the table as well as their plans for the country. For now the presidentiables are focused on building “name recall strategy.”

What would you do if an indecent proposal comes your way?

I’ve had a couple of indecent proposals but my stand is, I go for emotions and not for the money. It’s a big NO.

Worst thing I ever did for love was giving my whole self without leaving something for myself and in the process losing my own identity.

 How do you release your anger?

I am the type of person who hardly gets mad so I just keep the anger to myself most of the time. Once I am really mad I just cry because of frustration. What I do then is take a deep breath, give myself time to cool down so I can think with clarity.

What is your security blanket?

My family and my children. I am and will always be beautiful in their eyes. And of course the one who loves me now because of who I am — the only mayor in my life, Patrick (Meneses).

If you could be someone for a day, who would you be? Why?

 I want to be Princess Diana. I know how good she was and how colorful her life was. My dream is to be a princess.

If you were to have the body of someone whose body would it be?

 Jessica Alba. She is so hot.

What is the biggest misconception about you?

That I am mataray and I am not. I am a jolly person.

What makes you happy?

Life itself. Just the thought that you are alive and blessed are reasons to be happy.

The three Marias in my life — Gelli de Belen Rivera, Carmina Villarroel, Candy Pangilinan.

A watch.

What is your early morning ritual?

Eat breakfast, read all the newspapers, play with my kids and take a shower, then head off for whatever schedule I have for the day.

My two failed marriages. 

This is your last night in the world, who do you want to spend it with?

 I’d spend it with my children.

If you can plan your death, how would it be?

I’d like people to remember me as someone who didn’t step on anyone’s toes and I’d like to be cremated and share the ashes with people who became a part of my life that include my family and supporters.

The best book you’ve read?

48 Laws of Power.

 That would be to not give my all and leave something for myself.

Royce dark chocolates that is part of my diet... the chocolate diet.

Going out of town and getting a massage.
