Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios "Imee" Romualdez Marcos[5][failed verification] (Tagalog: [ˈaɪmi ˈmaɾkɔs]; born November 12, 1955) is a Filipina politician and former actress serving as a Senator since 2019. She is the daughter of Ferdinand Marcos and former first lady Imelda Marcos and the older sister of the current president, Bongbong Marcos.[6] She previously served as governor of Ilocos Norte from 2010 to 2019 and as representative of Ilocos Norte's 2nd district from 1998 to 2007.
Imee Marcos's political career began during her father's martial law regime. She turned 18—the age of majority in the Philippines—just fourteen months after her father's declaration of Martial Law,[7] and later became Chairperson of the Kabataang Barangay (KB) and a member of the Batasang Pambansa. It was during her KB term that activist Archimedes Trajano was abducted, tortured, and murdered shortly after publicly questioning her appointment to the office.[8] With her interest in media, she helped establish the Metro Manila Popular Music Festival in 1978,[9][10] and was made director general of the Experimental Cinema of the Philippines in 1982. She was already 30 years old by the time her family was ousted from power in the People Power Revolution of 1986, after which she and her husband Tommy Manotoc were exiled in Morocco.[8][11]
After the death of Ferdinand Marcos in 1989, President Corazon Aquino allowed the Marcoses to return to the Philippines in 1991.[12] Imee soon ran for political office, and won three terms in the House of Representatives and three terms as governor of Ilocos Norte. She was elected to the Senate in the 2019 elections.[13][14][15]
Imee Marcos's conviction in the 1993 Trajano v. Marcos case (978 F 2d 493) before the U.S. district court in Honolulu is noted in U.S. legal circles for exposing the weaknesses of the act of state doctrine, allowing for similar suits to be filed.[16][17][18]
She has been linked to the stolen wealth of her family, identified as a beneficiary of various Marcos offshore holdings as revealed in the Panama Papers[19] and the findings in the court convictions of her mother Imelda Marcos.[20] These holdings were defined as "ill-gotten wealth" by the Supreme Court of the Philippines, and are the subject of repatriation efforts by the Presidential Commission on Good Government.[21][22]
