    By Antonio J. Montalván II  |  Sep 12, 2022 11:45 PM

    With news of the recent demise of Queen Elizabeth II flooding all social media apps, stories of Imelda’s love for royalty have resurfaced. If she were still first lady today, she would have booked a chartered Philippine Airlines flight to London pronto and she could gain entry to the funeral mass on September 19 at Westminster Abbey where government leaders and crowned heads of Europe, Africa and Asia are expected to be present.

    I’m re-reading the book “Ferdinand E. Marcos, Malacañang to Makiki” by Col. Arturo C. Aruiza, who served as aide-de-camp and confidant of the late president for 21 years until the latter’s death in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1989.

But first, they must acknowledge their failure to listen.”

    If surveys on the fast-approaching elections hold, the Philippines will soon have a president who has difficulty discerning fact from pseudoscience — the way his mother also does.

    A creation myth in Philippine folklore, the Marcoses co-opted the Malakas at Maganda myth in the 1970s and anointed themselves as “the strong one” and “ the beautiful one” under “the new society.”
