Pero Iba sabi ng Wikileaks .Pakipaliwanag nga sa akin daga,kuting eh Tigre pala saka mga zombie. Kasi sabi ninyo kagalang galang eh. Eto link ; gmanetwork/news/story/303565/news/nation/wikileaks-imelda-marcos-was-a-pest-more-than-a-guest-in-us Regarded as pest than a guest She seldom notifies them. She simply arrives unannounced. Then, she starts making difficult demands and poking her nose into delicate matters. Shes come to be regarded as pest than a guest, Anderson further wrote. One could assume that Kissinger agreed with Andersons portrayal of Imelda as he did not give any comment on Andersons report. His cable to Manila was sent at a time when media was heavily censored in the Philippines due to the declaration of martial law by Imeldas husband, then-President Ferdinand Marcos. In his report, Anderson specifically cited an instance when Imelda loitered around New York City with little to do. He said reports had it that she was waiting for Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco to die so she could attend his funeral. Meeting with the Fords An earlier memo by Kissinger said that Imelda was in Washington on November 19, 1975 to serve as a keynote speaker at the World Population Conference. She and her daughter, Imee, even had tea with Betty Ford, wife of former US President Gerald Ford, at the White House on the same day. Imelda then stayed in New York for a few more days until her November 21 flight to Madrid to attend Francos funeral. She likes the pomp and ceremony of such international occasions,” Anderson wrote, as shown in Kissingers cable. “Meanwhile, she asked to be received at the White House. There was a bickering over schedules but a 45-minute tea break was arranged with Betty Ford. He said when Imelda showed up at the White House, she was held at the gate because the guards were not notified about her arrival. She was furious,” Anderson said. “Then, President Ford neglected to drop by to greet her at the tea session. She became more furious. Anderson also said that when Imelda and Betty exchanged gifts, Imelda was so disappointed with her gift that she left it behind. She was literally sputtering with rage, according to my sources, when she [flew] back to the Philippines, he said. Aside from this, Kissinger also quoted a January 30, 1976 report by Anderson about how the Marcos family and their rich friends bought all the copies of the Cosmopolitan magazine issue in the Philippines, which listed Imelda as one of the 10 richest women in the world. Now, this is quite an achievement for a working girl who was an airline stewardess only a few years ago. Then she married Ferdinand Marcos and he became president of the Philippines. Well, their sudden rise to riches is not a story they want to advertise in the Philippines. They didnt want to censure Cosmopolitan magazine. That would have attracted attention to the story and would have led to bad, world-wide publicity, he said. Gatecrasher? Other instances of Imeldas alleged misbehavior at international events were also mentioned in other diplomatic cables. A US Embassy cable dated April 30, 1974 mentioned Imeldas grandstanding in Hong Kong when she commented about the relationship between China and the Philippines. Another cable dated October 25, 1974 also hinted how then-US Ambassador to the Philippines William Sullivan disliked Imeldas visits to the US. He said Imelda has all sorts of interests [regarding her visits] which are far from reconciled. We are doing nothing at this end to stimulate hopes for meeting with [the] President, and not he will be out of [the] country for [a] good portion of her visit, Sullivan said of that specific visit. A December 23, 1976 cable also quoted Sullivan as warning the US State Department about Imeldas claim that she was invited to the inauguration of then newly elected US President Jimmy Carter. It is conceivable that [the] invitation story may have surfaced [in Philippine media] in expectation [that the] US government would be reluctant [to] embarrass Mrs. Marcos if she insisted on attending [the] inauguration, he said. Sullivan also said that it should be recalled how Imelda attempted to invite herself to the inauguration of former US President Richard Nixon in 1968 and to the dedication of the Sydney Opera House where she made [an] effort to upstage the Queen. — KBK, GMA News
