Imelda, a name that once shone brightly on the Philippine political scene, has lived a legendary life, from a poor little girl to a powerful "mother of the nation" to a political giant devoured by greed. Her story was once talked about, and now, when all the glamorous past is buried in the dust of time, when the smokescreen of greed and power has cleared, we can't help but ask: she once greeded tens of billions of dollars for the country, and when she was discovered, she had moved to the United States, and now the money is gone?
Coming from a poor family, Imelda's fate seems destined to be the company of hardship. The poverty and hunger of her childhood shaped her insatiable thirst for material things later in life. However, it is this desire for a better life that drives her to continue to struggle, from a bookstore clerk to becoming a beauty queen, and then to her marriage to Marcos, step by step to the peak of the political stage.
However, as power swelled, the seeds of greed also took root in Imelda's heart. Under the aura of becoming the "first lady", she was not satisfied with just enjoying the glory and wealth, but reached out to the treasury of the country. Corruption has become a "family business" shared by her husband and hundreds of millions of public funds, while the Filipino people struggle with poverty and misery.
However, when the popular anger intensified, the Marcos regime was finally overthrown in a political storm. Imelda and her husband fled to the United States with hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth, but they did not know that the seeds of insatiable greed had taken root in their hearts, waiting for the future to sprout.
In exile in the United States, money seems to be the only thing to rely on. However, wealth is always depleted much faster than one might think. Spending all day and wine, spending money like dirt, for a time full of pride, but as the years passed, hundreds of millions of wealth gradually passed from the fingertips, until the last minute disappeared.
Now, where does Imelda go? The glory and wealth of the past are long gone, and the political partners who were once willing to follow her are long gone. Perhaps, she has learned to face the ruthlessness of the years calmly, and perhaps, she has planted the seeds of regret and reflection in her heart. In any case, whether Imelda, who was once greedy for tens of billions of dollars, has now recognized the price of greed, only time will give the final answer.
