Description

The story of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos's rise to power. The overthrowing of the couple in 1986 briefly focused world attention on the Philippines. The Western media's coverage took its lead from the US, and the no-holds barred denigration of the Marcoses tarnished the Philippines more generally.
