    Between 1965 and 1986, during which Marcos called the shots, he, alongside his wife, frittered away billions of the country's money meant for governance.

    Imelda, the first lady, was the proud owner of the largest women's wardrobe in the world, which featured five thousand(5,000) pairs of ladies' shoes.

    The President and his wife bought mansions in major cities of the world and invested in the top-rated multinational companies around the globe, even though the citizens of the Philippines remained in the firm grip of hunger and poverty.

    When Marcos and his wife were forced out of office, an unspecified number of corruption cases were brought against them.
