Marcos ruled the Philippines for 20 years, exercising authoritarian power and undermining democratic processes. Evidence showed that Marcos and his associates looted billions of dollars from the government, which took on enormous loans to keep the economy afloat, leaving the Philippines in a desperate financial state. Marcos and his wife, Imelda, also gave rise to a political dynasty, with their children Imee and Ferdinand, Jr. holding numerous prominent positions.
