Imelda Marcos: The Iron
Butterfly of the Philippines
The former First Lady, Imelda Marcos,
featured interestingly in a high profile documentary that had given wide
information from her early life to her being the first lady. She is a woman of
charm, grand and beauty.
The documentary revealed the extravagant
life Imelda is living while the country is experiencing the opposite, poverty.
She has her own dressmaker who made her several beautiful creations. Also, she owns
more than 1000 pair of shoes. In fact, there is a museum in Marikina that
filled with her shoes alone.
The Iron Butterfly of the Philippines has
an unbelievable charm. Irving Berlin, a songwriter wrote “Heaven Help
Philippines” for Imelda. Because of her charm, she was able to open doors for
the Philippines in international negotiations.
In the film, it was also pointed that Imelda
Marcos considers herself great and a brilliant lady that’s why she is clueless
on why some people accused her of crimes.
The documentary really showed who Imelda
Marcos is. She is really a unique and a complex woman.
