Imelda Marcos

Imelda Marcos is one woman with high standards. She’s a person with high hopes for herself and for the country where she resides and she is a person willing to do everything just for fortune, fame and love. Before meeting Ferdinand Marcos who happens to be her knight and shining armor, Imelda was just a girl in search for her obsessions in Manila. I can say that after meeting her one true love, Imelda suddenly became an epitome of modernization and many bowed down to her.

She is our former First Lady and she did everything just to let the Philippines be on the top. For me, that was the goal of the Marcos Regime, to let people across the world be familiar of the country “Philippines”, that’s why she and her husband did everything just to seek everyone’s attention about our country.

She was a slave of her obsessions. From a simple provincial woman to an extravagant and elegant lady – Imelda made herself one of those Filipina beauties worth seeing and following. And she amazingly accomplished all of these by herself; through attending parties of known people, befriending many elites of the country and through hosting auctions and events. She clearly paved everything just for herself.

But all of these slowly took away a piece of her. Knowing that and basing from the interview of her failed assassination, she said that she wanted to be stabbed not by someone ugly and not by an old bolo. We can really see how she is corrupted by money and power that she wanted everything even her death to be elegant.

In conclusion, Imelda Marcos is a woman who strived hard to be on top and worked hard to stay there. She is a person that signifies royalties in Europe countries. And she is a person changed by poverty, fame and elegance.
