Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 11) — The anti-graft court ordered on Friday the arrest of Ilocos Norte Representative Imelda Marcos after it found her guilty for seven counts of graft.

The 89-year-old Marcos was sentenced to imprisonment for a minimum of six years to a maximum of 11 years.

The Sandiganbayan said the former first lady can have a provisional liberty if she posts a cash bond while appealing the conviction.

Marcos, who is running for Ilocos Norte governor in the 2019 elections, was also perpetually disqualified from holding public office. But Ombudsman Prosecutor Rey Quilala said she can still run until the Sandiganbayan's decision becomes final and executory.

Guess she’s still ticking. Question is will they lock her in the cell with all those shoes?

Unbelievable! She’s 89 y/o, and still playing the part of a well dressed Outlaw. Some say True Evil is hard to kill.
Oh, the books she could write. Trouble is, no one would believe most of her details. She was as good a Liar as Hillary.

After she passes, a score of ex-maids, nannies, paid off mistresses and Shoe Salesmen will write about her.

The Philippines can arrest a corrupt former first lady.

Why can't we be at least as effective as the Philippines?

The Marcos son may even make a Marcos comeback, see article. That’s even crazier. I haven’t seen much else on this though.

The house next door is owned by couple from the Philippines. There son currently lives there and works here in the US. We know them quite well and just recently like a week ago she emailed a picture of her with Imelda in a doctors office waiting room. Talk about a coincidence.
