Running for Congress
No that is not a joke. She is doing this so that she can restore the "Good Name" of her husband Ferdinand. Considering that he obtained wealth through corruption, kick-backs and illegal contracts. His government ruled through the military.
To most people, the reign of Ferdinand Marcos, the former Philippines dictator, is synonymous with rampant corruption and the brutal suppression of dissent.

"He was our best ever president," declared the flamboyant 80-year-old, resplendent in tangerine blouse and matching trousers, set off by jade and diamond jewellery. "During his time, we had territorial integrity, freedom, justice and human rights. Whatever else people may say, those were the best times ever for the Philippines."
If she wins the shoe shopping will commence.
