2. IMEE MARCOS
Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios "Imee" Romualdez
Marcos[5] (Tagalog: [ˈaɪmi ˈmaɾkɔs]; born November 12, 1955) is a
Filipina politician and former actress serving as a Senator since
2019. She is the daughter of Ferdinand Marcos and former first
lady Imelda Marcos and the older sister of the current
president, Bongbong Marcos.[6] She previously served as
governor of Ilocos Norte from 2010 to 2019 and
as representative of Ilocos Norte's 2nd district from 1998 to 2007.

3. mee Marcos's political career began during her father's martial law regime.
She became a member of the Batasang Pambansa and Chairperson of
the Kabataang Barangay (KB). It was during her KB term that
activist Archimedes Trajano was abducted, tortured, and murdered shortly
after publicly questioning her appointment to the office.[7] She turned 18—
the age of majority in the Philippines—just fourteen months after her
father's declaration of Martial Law,[8] and was already 30 years old by the
time her family were ousted from power in the 1986 People Power
revolution, after which they were helped by the United States government to
flee and were brought to Honolulu.

4. After the death of Ferdinand Marcos in 1989,
President Corazon Aquino allowed the Marcoses to
return to the Philippines in 1991.[9] Imee soon ran for
political office, and won three terms in the House of
Representatives and three terms as governor of Ilocos
Norte. She was elected to the Senate in the 2019
elections

5. Imee Marcos's conviction in the 1993 Trajano v. Marcos case (978 F 2d 493)
before the U.S. district court in Honolulu is noted in U.S. legal circles for
exposing the weaknesses of the act of state doctrine, allowing for similar
suits to be filed.
She has been linked to the stolen wealth of her family, identified as a
beneficiary of various Marcos offshore holdings as revealed in the Panama
Papers[16] and the findings in the court convictions of her mother Imelda
Marcos.[17] These holdings were defined as "ill-gotten wealth" by
the Supreme Court of the Philippines, and are the subject of repatriation
efforts by the Presidential Commission on Good Government.

6. Early life
Imee Marcos was born on November 12, 1955,
in Mandaluyong (then a municipality in Rizal) as the eldest child
of former president Ferdinand Marcos, and former first
lady Imelda Marcos, both of whom exercised autocratic rule over
the Philippines from December 1965 to February 1986.[20] She
has three other siblings: Bongbong Marcos, a former senator and
currently president;[21] Irene Marcos-Araneta,;[22] and Aimee
Marcos, who was adopted.

7. Marcos grew up as a young child in the Malacañan Palace, the
official residence of the president. She turned ten years old the
day after her father was elected in 1965. In an interview with her
family-backed Filipinas Magazine in 1999, she admitted that she
was uncomfortable living in the palace because it was too
confining, very formal, and fixed. She also added that it is "not
necessarily the most appropriate place to bring up a kid but it
was quite nice“.

8. While living at the palace, Marcos claimed that she attended
"regular" schools in Manila, but had to discontinue as the First
Family found it difficult to go out because of protest rallies outside
Malacañang. The rallies, all of which were faced with military
assaults which led to numerous Filipino deaths, were in response
to her family's deadly conjugal dictatorship that lasted for more
than two decades.

9. Education
During the 2019 elections, Marcos's educational background has
been steeped in controversy. Under her parents' conjugal
dictatorship, Marcos falsified her graduation from at least four
schools (including three universities), falsely claiming that she
graduated as "Cum Laude" and "class valedictorian" in two public
occasions.

10. Primary and secondary education
•Marcos attended the Institucion Teresiana (now Saint Pedro
Poveda College) in Quezon City from Kindergarten through
Grade 4 where she earned first honors.[20]
•She transferred to the Convent of Our Lady of
Assumption at Herran Street in Manila for Grade 5 to first year
high school, where she also earned first honors.[20]
•Marcos later transferred to the "American School"
(now International School Manila) in Makati
