Imelda

Imelda Marcos is known for her large collection of shoes, well also jewelries, but mostly, shoes. Well, I would say that she is an intellectual person but she became obsessed with putting the Philippines on top of the list, making it on par with other developed countries, just like her obsession with her shoes. This may be because of her past, she was not really rich during her younger years. Until he met, President Ferdinand Marcos who happened to be her knight in shining armor. I think that she was obsessed with power, wealth, and putting the Philippines on top of the list because of her past.

I can't deny, that the Marcoses have done something good for our country. They improved everything in our country, infrastructures and our economy basically. Imelda became the so called mother of our country during those years and became the face of modernization later on. Many worshipped her and the Marcoses and maybe President Marcos won during the election because of her charm. But then problems started arising, problems that rose from these innovations like debts and monetary problems, basically.

Imelda was an intellectual person, an innovative first lady. But then things started falling apart and with them, she crumbled. She was too obsessed with power, wealth and fame. Which led to our country being beautiful but drowned in large debts because those structures built in the Marcos regime we corrupted.

She can not be too perfect. She can not be the perfect, charming, intellectual, innovative mother of our nation. That was her dark side, her obsession.
