- Sometimes my mouth can get the better of me.
- [on Donald Trump] He is a bigot and I am not.
- [from a campaign speech] Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as a mayor. You drug-pushers, holdup men and do-nothings: you better go out because I'll kill you. I'll dump all of you in Manila Bay and fatten the fishes.
- [warning to Filipino drug dealers] I will hound you to the very gates of hell.
- I will just say to my countrymen that do not despair. Kaya natin ito Covid na ito. Maliit na bagay ito sa buhay natin. Marami tayong dinaanan...mas grabe, mas mahirap, mas magluluha kayo (We can handle this Covid. This is but a small thing in our lives. We have gone through more intense, more difficult, more tear-jerking experiences).
