Wise Words from Melanie and Paris

1979 Miss International Melanie Marquez

MEMORABLE MELANIE

Melanie Marquez has kept us entertained through the years with her quotable quotes.  Her first memorable quote was at the Binibining Pilipinas in 1979.  When asked what her best asset was, she said, “My long legged.”  She won the Binibining Pilipinas International title, then the Miss International crown in Japan months later.

At a talk show after her break-up with Derek Dee, Melanie was asked if she had some ords for Derek’s mother (whom she partly blamed for the separation): “Oo nga,” said Melanie, “pero i-English-in ko para maintindihan niya.” She looked into the camera and said, “And to you, Mrs. Dee, I have two words for you.  Ang labo mo!“

Her reply to a duke who was asking for her calling card: “Why I will give my calling card, I’m not a call girl.”

While waiting backstage during a noontime show after watching Nikki Valdez do her dance number: “Nikki, you’re so galing. You should go to the States. You will sell hotcakes!”

During the Joey Marquez-Kris Aquino scandal:

• “Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan.”
• “Don’t judge my brother; he’s not a book.”
• “Hindi ba kayo naawa sa kapatid ko…sa mga kwento nya? Di ba kayo na-PERSUAVE ng mga kwento niya? Hindi si Joey ang tipong mambubugbog ng babae…talaga lang malapit siya sa mga gulo…PRO-ACCIDENT kasi siya eh.”
• “Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo…Pag di ka naman manutok ng baril.”
• “Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same.”
• “Bakit ang dami mong tanong? You’re so questionable.”

In Morning Girls with Kris and Korina, while promoting her movie with Aleck Bovick: “Please watch HIRAM starring Aleck Baldwin (referring to Aleck Bovick) and myself. It’s DIRECTOR by Romy Suzara.”

After giving birth, in an interview on The Buzz: “My answers have been prayered!”

To ex-flame Senator Lito Lapid: “Hello…Huwag kang tumahol sa sarili mong bakuran noh!”

Before Christmas: ”Well, I want to spend my holidays with my family most probably out of place.”

When asked on S-Files if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, was her Mr. Right: “Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point.”

Talking about her law studies: “I’m taking law slowly, not fast.”

PEERLESS PARIS

Paris Hilton is also known for her quotable quotes.

The Non-Thinking Paris

• “I don’t want to be known as the Hilton heiress, because I didn’t do anything for that.”
• “One of my heroes has always been Barbie. She may not do anything, but she always looks amazing doing it.”
• Paris on her technique on the red carpet: “I don’t really think, I just walk.”
• “Whatever I write in email, it doesn’t mean anything. It is just words I write.”

Clueless Paris

• “Wal-Mart… do they like make walls there?”
• “What’s a soup kitchen?”
• Paris, when asked by the British press if she fancied Tony Blair, “Who? Oh yeah… he’s like your president? I don’t know what he looks like.”

Paris, Paris, Paris

• “There’s nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde, like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and, right now, I’m that icon.”
• “Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in.”

Out-of-this-World Paris
