“The Marcos family suffered in exile for 36 years when [they] couldn't come home" to the Philippines.”
What Vera Files found
The Marcoses lived in exile for just five, not 36 years. In August 1991, then-president Corazon Aquino allowed their return to the Philippines to face multiple 60 criminal and civil charges, including graft and tax evasion. Since their return to the country later that year, former first lady Imelda Marcos and her children Imee and Bongbong have held elective positions in both national and local levels.
