| Tatler PH cover : Imee at 60 |
It has been 29 years since they were chased from the palace. Amid a stream of discoveries regarding the unexplained wealth, more than 70,000 imprisoned, poverty level at 42% and thousands tortured and “salvaged”.
And now, instead of justice the son would utter that there was nothing to be sorry for those days of Martial Law, even peddling the canard that if his father were not ousted, the country would now be at the level of Singapore.
The surprising thing is that almost all of them are now back in elective position with Bongbong Marcos announcing his candidacy for the position of Vice President but with no declared runningmate for President. It is just like a woman declaring she has a fiancé but does not know who the fiancé is. That is how absurd this country has become.
The Wayward Media
But wait there is more! See the cover of the latest Philippine Tatler. Imee Marcos the Eldest but has shown no signs of aging. It’s OK anyway, she has the money to spend for all the upgrades. The cover says she is 60 but yes, still oooh lalala!
But even those who know the crimes and injustices are ooohhhing and aaahhhing! That there seems a dysfunction in our values system and a national dyslexia being experienced. The victims must be turning in their unmarked graves.
In fact, this will go viral since social media will weigh in on this very fast. There will be consequences. Maybe not violent and not hardcore. There those who remember and they may get back at Philippine Tatler one way or another. The Tatler which originated in Britain would not have issued an edition with Eva Braun after 1945. They knew there would be consequences. One consequence would be that the high end advertisers would leave Philippine Tatler for Town and Country, Metro or even Lifestyle Asia just to distance them from this faux pas. I can now see the smiles of Summit Media, One Mega Group, and ABS-CBN Publishing. Even BusinessWorld's High Life stands to win.
Perhaps, there was a lapse in judgment by the E-I-C of Philippine Tatler. A concussion caused by a helicopter crash is enough reason for this absurdity. Any which way, Philippine Tatler takes a hit with this one. Maybe this is what caused for the Memory Bank to get Bankrupt.

To see Imelda at the food court without the pomp and splendor normally attached to her wherever she goes brought up a myriad of emotions. I felt a bit sad seeing this. It reminded me of my Mama's last days. But I quickly snapped out of that sadness because I was reminded of the incident two years ago ......Read More
Negros Island was in a woeful state at the eve of the snap elections in 1986. Negros as a word was synonymous to "Crisis" in those days. For the longest time, the sugar industry, romanticized by the well-heeled landowners of Negros and Iloilo, was the prima donna of Philippine ......Read More
