  1. Imelda Trinidad Romualdez-Marcos (born July 2, 1929 in Manila) is the widow of Ferdinand Marcos, former First Lady, and an influential political figure in the Philippines. She is known as the "Steel Butterfly" and remains a controversial figure not only in her home country, but around the world. Her extensive shoe collection is world-renowned.

    Imelda Remedios Visitacion Trinidad Romualdez Marcos was born on July 2, 1929 in San Juan de Dios Hospital in Manila. Her parents were Vicente Orestes Romualdez (of Spanish blood) and Remedios Trinidad, the second wife of the widowed-Vicente.

    Her own branch of the family was not political. Her father was a scholarly man more interested in music and culture than in public life. Her mother, a dressmaker who grew up in an orphanage in Manila, is a Trinidad from the town of Baliuag, Bulacan, famed for the charm of its women.

    Imelda spent her childhood in the shadow of the Malacañang Palace in San Miguel District in Manila, since her family then lived near San Miguel Church. After his second wife Remedios died, and their home foreclosed, Vicente moved his family back to Leyte to live with relatives, where Imelda earned a bachelor's degree in education at St. Paul's College.

    She also became a beauty queen. At the age of 18, she was crowned the "Rose of Tacloban," became "Miss Leyte", went to Manila in 1953, and was named the "Muse of Manila" by then Manila Mayor, Arsenio Lacson, after she protested her loss in the Miss Manila pageant.

    In 1954, Imelda met then-Ilocos Norte Congressman Ferdinand E. Marcos. After a whirlwind courtship in Baguio during Holy Week, they were married in May of that year at the Manila Pro-Cathedral Church with President Ramon Magsaysay as principal sponsor. They have three children, Maria Imelda "Imee" Marcos, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., and Irene Marcos; and one adopted daughter, Aimee.

    In 1966, Ferdinand Marcos became the 10th President of the Philippines. Together with Imelda, he would rule the Philippines as a Dictator from September 21, 1972 up to until he was ousted on February 1986 in the famous People Power Revolution when he fled the Philippines.
