“Sen. Imee Marcos claims having been the founder and chairperson of Kabataang Barangay from 1975 to 1986.”
What Vera Files found
Imee Marcos was already 19, beyond the maximum age limit of 18, in 1975 when her father, then-president Ferdinand Marcos Sr., created the KB by signing the now repealed Presidential Decree 684. Documents show, however, that what Imee chaired was the KB Foundation, which was first mentioned in P.D. 1191 that Marcos Sr. signed on Sept. 1, 1977. No official document identifies her either as a founder or national chair of KB.
