“The Marcos family landed "with nothing" in Hawaii, where they were flown from Malacañan Palace with the ouster of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in 1986.”
What Vera Files found
The Marcos family did not go into exile empty-handed. In 1986, the United States Customs Services seized sets of jewelry, appraised in 1991 by Christie’s auction house at $436,420 to $559,630, that the Marcoses brought with them to Honolulu. Known as the Hawaii Collection, this was turned over to the Philippine government in 1992.
