I still can't believe I lied to Imelda Marcos, one of the Philippines most (in)famous and controversial figures in modern Philippine history. The fact that I even got to meet her still shocks me to this day. In this episode of Filipina. American. Creative., I share with you the story of Imelda and Ferdinand Marcos, as well as never-before shared experiences of when I traveled to the Philippines to sing for and meet Imelda Marcos. (And yes, I reveal in detail the lie I told her!)

NAGSINUNGALING AKO kay Imelda Marcos & NAKAKALAYO | A True Account of My Time with a Controversial Filipina
Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nagsinungaling ako kay Imelda Marcos, isa sa mga pinakasikat at kontrobersyal na pigura ng Pilipinas sa modernong kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Ang katotohanan na kahit na nakilala ko siya ay nabigla pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Sa episode na ito ng Filipina. Amerikano. Creative., Ibinahagi ko sa inyo ang kaunti tungkol sa kwento nina Imelda at Ferdinand Marcos, pati na rin sa mga hindi ko pa naibahaging karanasan noong bumiyahe ako sa Pilipinas para kantahin at makilala si Imelda Marcos. (At oo, inihayag ko nang detalyado ang kasinungalingan na sinabi sa kanya!)

Imelda does NOT have ALL designer shoes. She is a huge supporter of the Philippine shoemakers. So all these people give her shoes. It's like what Oprah does. Any shoes Imelda wears become popular brands. During the Marcos time, our shoe industry was rich and well known. In fact, it has been reported that some Italian Shoe makers would be invited to Marikina for transfer of skills. Imelda is well loved until now. The bad stories about her were propaganda from the Aquino administration. The Marcos family are good people. Beautiful Story though.

America was part of the black propaganda against Marcos and so was Imelda. She was a gem for us Filipinos and don't tell us that she was convicted because she was not. Our company where I worked in the 70s happened to be one of the major contractors for the many projects that Imelda initiated and she was indeed a working first lady. The shoes that most media described as extravagant were gifts from local shoemakers that she promoted on her travels around the world.

@TESZMillan 2 года назад

@nightsky5023 Год назад

I couldn’t agree more. The Marcoses were demonize by almost everyone, but the truth always comes out in the end and it comes out victorious. The Philippines was very highly regarded on the world stage until the Aquinos came along and pretty much drag the entire country into the sewer, dumbed the population, rewrote our beloved country’s history, made themselves heroes, took the country’s resources all for their own personal interest, smeared all Filipinos on world stage, and made us all poor that it forced a lot of us go out the country for work and work as domestic helpers. What they did was unthinkable and degrading to our entire race. But YAHUAH brings justice to all and with His blessings, most Filipinos are waking up to all the lies that have been told. Thank you for sharing your story with our beloved former First Lady. She is the epitome of Grace, class, and kindness. May her examples never die for the next generation to learn from and emulate. ❤

Senator Imee was gracious and soft-spoken, and you will not at all feel like you need to be on guard with her. She makes you feel like you can just be yourself and at home around her. I assume Senator Imee takes a lot from her mother. That's the incredible thing about that family.

Her love for the culture, arts & sports are evident in her wearing the local costume with butterfly sleeves. She was the ambassador of the Philippines by showcasing the Philippines' Arts through dance & song, She always brought along with her the Madrigal singers & the Bayanihan dancers. She gave scholarships to great sportsmen, & individuals with special talents. During the Marcos era, it was the first time the Miss Universe was held in the Philippines, Thrilla in Manila, The Chessmaster championships, etc...

That's a real mcoy! The real caring and loving first lady. She did all the beautification of towns and cities in the Phil, initiated our green revolution program and cleanliness programsin all the schools and local government. Children planted trees and tended their own vegetable gardens. She established the Heart and Lung Centres in the Philippines, and she established the Cultural Centre of the Philippines as she a great patron for the arts and all things arts in the Philippines. No one has ever done what she had achieved for the Philippines. Thank you for sharing us that side of Imelda Marcos.

Hello Tesz how is your career now, i hope you still sing. Since you somehow admire Madam Imelda n many aspects, i would suggest that you see Rita Gadi's account on You Tube and will somehow learn more of the Marcoses who were ridiculed by the Aquino's then and until now.

@TESZMillan 2 года назад

Thank you, Susan! I still sing - in fact, I released a song I had translated into Tagalog last year since I’m still learning my family’s native language. You can hear it on my RU-vid channel as well - it’s called “Dito na Tayo / Be Here Now.” You’re the second person to recommend Rita Gadi. I’m excited to look at her channel.
