The problem with the TV program is that you are left not being sure if it is a case of Ruby Wax just mischief making and Imelda is a true lady, or whether there is truth in all of the rumoured quotes...

true!!! all are just hear say until proven guilty!!!......i myself is a martial law baby..grew up under marcos regime and all i can say is life was good back then.Originally Posted by lastlid
I was here as a teenager back then and was often warned by those older than me to keep my mouth shut as the questions I asked were dangerous daw..
I was here until the revolution arrived and have often since thought myself lucky to have survived those dark days..
For those that died at their bequest I have nothing but pity and sympathy..
For those that lived through those times in ignorance..I feel pity also.
At last... I live here in peace.
I have encountered many intelligent and professional people in Philippines who say that they preferred life under Ferdinand Marcos. The corruption was less widespread, mainly centered round Marcos and his cronies in those days and the country was certainly a lot safer(as long as you did not p**s off the president) KFR groups and violent criminals had a fear of the law and violence against women was dealt with harshly. Death penalty was still on the statute.
However,I have to say that i have met few people that can say anything good about Imelda. Many believe that she was the cause of her husband's downfall and were disgusted by her flagrant flaunting of wealth and opulence whilst many suffered.
My wife grew up in the dark days of martial law and detests vehemently everything about the Marcoses.
Freedom was restricted,there was nightly curfew and merely gathering in a group in a public place was an offence. Even young women were required to do military training.
But to some Life was good back then
History will judge the Marcoses but I feel the epitaph will not be kind
