Book excerpt: Imelda Romualdez Marcos is a Filipino politician who was first lady of the Philippines for twenty-one years, during which time she and her husband are widely believed to have illegally amassed a multibillion dollar fortune, the bulk of which still remains unrecovered. Her personal wealth was estimated at $24 billion in 1979, and today it is thought to be at least $30 billion. She married Ferdinand Marcos in 1954 and became first lady in 1965, when he was elected president of the Philippines. During her tenure as first lady, Marcos owned three thousand pairs of shoes. She imported giraffes?just because she could. Her habit of initiating ostentatious architectural projects using public funds came to be described in common parlance as ?Imeldific.? In 1966, Ferdinand Marcos issued Executive Order no. 60, establishing the Cultural Center of the Philippines and appointing its board of directors. The board would elect Imelda Marcos as chair, giving her legal mandate to negotiate and manage funds for the center. The CCP is considered the central symbol of Imelda Marcos?s ?edifice complex.? Its enormous modernist concrete structures were designed by Filipino architect Leandro Locsin. Imelda Marcos declared the center the ?sanctuary of the Filipino soul.? In these pages, Giovanna Silva inspects the heritage of the country, illustrating the robust relationship between architecture and history.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First released in 1969, during a time of great uncertainty for the Philippines, this unauthorized biography of one of the most intriguing women in the world was banned in her own country. For writing it, Carmen Pedrosa, with her family, was exiled to London for 20 years.Despite that, The Untold Story of Imelda Marcos became a local and international hit, selling out all of its print runs.Now, decades after the end of Martial Law, the book returns to tell the story of Imelda Romualdez-Marcos to a new generation.A modern Cinderella tale, The Untold Story of Imelda Marcos tells of how she rose from being a destitute child to becoming the most powerful woman of the country. Starry-eyed, penniless, and provincial, Imelda was in search of good fortune in Manila. Then came Ferdinand E. Marcos, a knight in shining armor, rescuing her from poverty and misery. "e;I will make you the First Lady of the land,"e; he promised her.Complete, detailed, and replete with facts and documents that have been painstakingly hidden from the public by the administration's image-makers, her life story unfolds, one truth at a time. It explains Imelda's much vaunted charisma that, in President Marcos' own words, garnered one million votes in the 1965 elections. She is a person who is difficult to be indifferent to. This book tells us why.

Book Synopsis Imelda Marcos by : Carmen Navarro Pedrosa
Download or read book Imelda Marcos written by Carmen Navarro Pedrosa and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966, Imelda Marcos was "e;rich, young, and beautiful, an Asian Jacqueline Kennedy."e; Years later, Benigno Aquino would call her "e;another Evita Peron,"e; referring to her ruthless ambition and seemingly insatiable desire for wealth and power. By 1986, she was in exile in Hawaii, having been driven from the country she and her husband had led for over twenty years.In Imelda Marcos, Filipino journalist Carmen Navarro Pedrosa tells the full story of Imelda's life: her tragically poor childhood and her subsequent drive to succeed socially, financially, and politically.A naive young woman from the provinces, Imelda garnered attention in 1953 as the winner of the Miss Manila contest and caught the eye of a rising young congressman, Ferdinand E. Marcos. After a courtship of eleven days, they were married. Under Ferdinand's stern tutelage, Imelda would emerge as his most important political asset and, later, as one of the wealthiest, most powerful women in the world.Based on years of research and in-depth interviews with both friends and foes of the Marcoses, this biography traces Imelda's life from her poverty-stricken origins to her present state of exile, providing insight not only into her character but also into the demise of the Marcos regime and the current turbulent political situation in the Philippines.
Book Synopsis The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos by : Primitivo Mijares
Download or read book The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos written by Primitivo Mijares and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-17 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's Foreword This book is unfinished. The Filipino people shall finish it for me. I wrote this volume very, very slowly. 1 could have done with it In three months after my defection from the conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos on February 20.1975. Instead, I found myself availing of every excuse to slow it down. A close associate, Marcelino P. Sarmiento, even warned me, "Baka mapanis 'yan." (Your book could become stale.)While I availed of almost any excuse not to finish the manuscript of this volume, I felt the tangible voices of a muted people back home in the Philippines beckoning to me from across the vast Pacific Ocean. In whichever way I turned, I was confronted by the distraught images of the Filipino multitudes cryingout to me to finish this work, lest the frailty of human memory -- or any incident a la Nalundasan - consign to oblivion the matters I had in mind to form the vital parts of this book. It was as if the Filipino multitudes and history itself were surging in an endless wave presenting a compelling demand on me toSan Francisco, California perpetuate the personal knowledge I have gained on the infamous machinations of Ferdinand E. Marcos and his overly ambitious wife, Imelda, that led to a day of infamy in my country, that Black Friday on September 22, 1972, when martial law was declared as a means to establish history's first conjugal dictatorship. The sense of urgency in finishing this work was also goaded by the thought that Marcos does not have eternal life and that the Filipino people are of unimaginable forgiving posture. I thought that, if I did not perpetuate this work for posterity, Marcos might unduly benefit from a Laurelian statement that, when a man dies, the virtues of his past are magnified and his faults are reduced to molehills. This is a book for which so much has been offered and done by Marcos and his minions so that it would never see the light of print. Now that it is off the press. I entertain greater fear that so much more will be done to prevent its circulation, not only in the Philippines but also in the United States.But this work now belongs to history. Let it speak for itself in the context of developments within the coming months or years. Although it finds great relevance in the present life of the present life of the Filipinos and of Americans interested in the study of subversion of democratic governments by apparently legal means, this work seeks to find its proper niche in history which mustinevitably render its judgment on the seizure of government power from the people by a lame duck Philippine President.If I had finished this work immediately after my defection from the totalitarian regime of Ferdinand and Imelda, or after the vicious campaign of the dictatorship to vilify me in July-August. 1975, then I could have done so only in anger. Anger did influence my production of certain portions of the manu-script. However, as I put the finishing touches to my work, I found myself expurgating it of the personal venom, the virulence and intemperate language of my original draft.Some of the materials that went into this work had been of public knowledge in the Philippines. If I had used them, it was with the intention of utilizing them as links to heretofore unrevealed facets of the various ruses that Marcos employed to establish his dictatorship.Now, I have kept faith with the Filipino people. I have kept my rendezvous with history. I have, with this work, discharged my obligation to myself, my profession of journalism, my family and my country.I had one other compelling reason for coming out with this work at the great risks of being uprooted from my beloved country, of forced separation from my wife and children and losing their affection, and of losing everything I have in my name in the Philippines - or losing life itself. It is that I wanted to makea public expiation for the little influence that I had . . . .(more inside)
Download or read book Imelda written by Cecilio Arillo and published by Iame. This book was released on 2012 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the adverse and intriguing story on the controversial life of Imelda Romualdez Marcos, former First Lady and now a member of Congress representing Ilocos Norte's Second Congressional District in the Philippines, and her poetic and creative ideas in a troubled world. A product of inquiry and the demand for a fair and accurate narration and exposition of contemporary historical events, this book is Imelda's vivid and dramatic story in a series of interviews about her pain and joy; about her glory and solitude; about her wealth and deprivation; and about her riveting recollections in politics and love with President Ferdinand E. Marcos, during which time and up to now she endured persecution, discriminatory investigations, court trials, sadness, betrayal and relentless public humiliation.No living woman in history has experienced that much ordeal in the hands of her hateful and vengeful tormentors as Mrs. Marcos did.Ousted with her husband, President Marcos, from power in the so-called 1986 EDSA uprising, exiled her entire family to Hawaii, deprived of their homeland and worldly possessions and then ridiculously charged with 901 criminal and civil cases, including violations of the dreadful US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) in New York for which the judge and the jury found her innocent of all the charges.
Book Synopsis Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes by : Myles Garcia
Download or read book Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes written by Myles Garcia and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until they were expelled from power thirty years ago, in early 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos (she, the Shoe Queen) jointly ruled the Philippines with impunity for 20+ years. They were an efficient cash-and-carry team—while he raided the national till, she shopped 'til she dropped. In the words of the US congressman investigating them, "Compared to her (Imelda), Marie Antoinette was a bag lady," . . . while Ferdinand made master embezzler Bernie Madoff look like a rank amateur. With the passing of 30 years, this book becomes a full accounting of the rapacious and avaricious rule the pair enjoyed—how they hoodwinked an unsuspecting people, and the truth behind many of the dirty tricks they employed revealed at last. The present is an opportune time to take stock, especially as their only son and heir, Ferdinand, Jr., and others of his ilk, launches a comeback attempt for national office in this year's Philippine elections, and trying to re-fabricate history in the process. This book will set the record straight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Popular Music Analysis: Expanding Approaches widens the scope of analytical approaches for popular music by incorporating methods developed for analyzing contemporary art music. This study endeavors to create a new analytical paradigm for examining popular music from the perspective of developments in contemporary art music.

The essays in this collection investigate a variety of analytical, theoretical, historical, and aesthetic commonalities popular music shares with 20th and 21st century art music. From rock and pop to hip hop and rap, dance and electronica, from the 1930s to present day, this companion explores these connections in five parts: Establishing and Expanding Analytical Frameworks Technology and Timbre Rhythm, Pitch, and Harmony Form and Structure Critical Frameworks: Analytical, Formal, Structural, and Political With contributions by established scholars and promising emerging scholars in music theory and historical musicology from North America, Europe, and Australia, The Routledge Companion to Popular Music Analysis: Expanding Approaches offers nuanced and detailed perspectives that address the relationships between concert and popular music.

Book Synopsis The Marcos Legacy by : Cecilio Arillo
Download or read book The Marcos Legacy written by Cecilio Arillo and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE book is not only about the legacy of President Ferdinand E. Marcos but also the ignominious story of how two governments - and others - driven by a mixture of greed and vindictiveness, ganged up on him and his family, divested them not just of lawful power, but of honor as well as of possessions. This is the story of how legal systems were manipulated for sinister ends, how God-given rights were wantonly violated by governments professing respect for human rights. This book also consists mostly of official documents that are incontrovertible proof of the unjust punishments inflicted upon the Marcoses without them first being found guilty by the courts of law. These documents chronicled lies, frauds, flawed logic, anomalous processes and judicial partisanship that made adverse decisions against them possible in various courts. The accusatory and punitive documents comprised a paper trail of shameful acts that their authors would regret come Judgment Day. What human law can justify, for instance, the desecration of the dead? What commitment to human rights can legitimize their sustained violation? What advocate of justice can glory in denying it from the accused? Justices, lawyers, students and laymen would no doubt be amused or bewildered by the whirlwind allegations lodged against the Marcoses, and the maze of processes they went through. Legal systems are vulnerable to manhandling that frustrates justice. Most of the holdings against the Marcoses have been based on the discretion of officials of uncertain impartiality. Both legal experts and laymen have to wonder, for example, why one American court cautioned that its decision was not to be published, and why the Supreme Court of the Philippines insisted in another decision that its ruling should not be construed as a precedent. President Marcos's vision and ideas about leadership, government and constitutionalism still remain fresh and timeless today. He believed in fair and transparent political competition, operated in the national interest, created more friends and widened his network of friendship throughout the world, including in hostile places where others feared to tread. His enemies and critics saw almost everything he does as a threat to their political ambitions and economic interests. Strangely, they literally "hanged the wrong man" (Hubris 2000) at a time when he was fighting a deadly kidney disease that had emaciated his athletic body not in his homeland but in the United States, a country known for its liberal democracy and many of whose leaders had treated him with dignity and as a reliable ally only to be crucified and abandoned for political, security and economic expediency. Even his wife, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, their children and grandchildren were not spared from all manners of indignity. These tribulations befell the Marcoses, Imelda Romualdez-Marcos most of all. But despite the indignities, she has not crumbled and continued to fight their detractors. Before this book went to press, she has already suffered more than 31 years of persecution that have merely steeled her resolve to regain the family's honor, and perhaps mothered or fathered what the hyenas of history have left of the Marcos fortune. Already 88 when this book went to press, she continued her quest for justice, realizing that there is more at stake than her family's name and material wealth: the unity of the Filipino people, their capacity for reconciliation and their willingness to outgrow the betrayal and conflicts of the past. The Marcoses had been confronted originally with 358 civil and criminal cases (mostly against Imelda), of which some 100 were still current, the rest having been dismissed. Such an extended ordeal certainly adds deeper meaning to what the Irish writer William Butler Yeats penned many decades ago: "The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time."
