Romualdez-Marcos

“When you see a person, you cannot sa ‘Oh, she’s 32% beautiful.’ No, you cannot quantify beauty. You cannot quantify love.”

“It is easy to be beautiful because it is natural.”

-Imelda Marcos

Undeniably, among all the films we’ve watched in our STS class, this film, Imelda Marcos: Steel Butterfly of the Philippines, moved me the most. I don’t know if it’s her stunning face or her strong aura, but she’s got that thing that catches people’s attention.

She’s a really vain person. She’s confident and she knows what she’s doing most of the time. She has goals and her dedication towards them is impressive. She’s bossy and she usually gets everything she wants. Because of all those, I am amazed by her existence. Everything was perfect in the first few years of the Marcos’ reign. I don’t know how, why, and where things went wrong, but it’s all too sad. What was once beautiful turned out to be very disastrous. Like what they all say, all good things must come to an end. She is, afterall, just like other politicians—power hungry and selfish. I’m not saying all politicians are corrupt, but it’s quite evident that majority are.

Oh ohh, my dear country, I pity you.

P.S. I don't understand why people like her voice. :)))
