Quotes by Vicky Pinpin-Feinstein (?)

“It had become common knowledge in those days that the Marcoses used the country's treasury as if it was their own personal bank account.”

“As for Imelda, her vanity and hunger for material things were insatiable. She lived in splendor while the poor masses were left living under bridges and scavenging the Smokey Mountain garbage dump for food and scrap to sell.”

“To me, there was no such thing as 'staying neutral,' especially when blood had already been spilled. The stakes were simply too high. To keep neutral was to stay asleep, to sleepwalk through life, and that was unacceptable.”
