“On Vice President Leni Robredo: I don’t think she can ever be ready to govern a country. Reason? Incompetence. She’s not capable of running a country like this, Philippines.”

“On Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: For God's sake, Mr. Trudeau, my own citizens are rebelling against us; killing my soldiers and policemen and civilians. And I cannot use the helicopter because they are citizens but they are out to overthrow my government. If you cannot understand , you should not be there in that mighty post of yours. Because you do not know the history of the world and geopolitics.”

“On drug addicts: If they are there in your neighbourhood, feel free to call us, the police or do it yourself if you have the gun. You have my support. If he fights and fights to the death, you can kill him. I will give you a medal... If you are involved in drugs, I will kill you. You son of a whore, I will really kill you.”

“On former Solicitor-General and 2019 opposition senatorial candidate Florin Hilbay: He acts like a man and pretends that Agot is his girlfriend. Be true to yourself. You're gay.

“On former Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno: Talagang dapat paalisin ka, noon pa. Bobo ka na, putang ina, kung anong pinagsasabi mo. I’m putting you on notice that I’m your enemy and you have to be out of the Supreme Court. I will see to it. And after that, I will request Congress go to the impeachment right away.”

“Mr. Obama, you can go to hell.”
