And on March 18, 2008, this 2300-page asset list was handed over to the new Philippine government.
After the new government led by Mrs Aquino came to power, it immediately ordered the freezing of all assets of Marcos and his relatives and friends in China, and set up a clean government committee headed by Salonga to specifically check the Marcos family's property at home and abroad. After three years of arduous investigation, ICAC initially determined the assets of the Marcos family as follows:
The Philippines has 450O mu of real estate, 5,000 mu of land, 23 farms, 232 companies, 18 TV stations, 36 radio stations, 29 planes, 13 yachts and 65,438 billion US dollars in cash. Tons of gold and jewelry are equivalent to $654.38 billion. In the United States, there are four office buildings in Manhattan, new york, Beverly Hills Villa and Honolulu Villa. 700 million dollars in cash and jewelry. In Switzerland, the bank deposit is $654.38 billion.
In Australia, it's over 500 million dollars. In Brazil, at least $300 million. In addition, in Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Britain, Bahamas and other countries and regions, the Marcos family also has a large amount of property deposits. I'm afraid no one can tell how far these discoveries are from the assets actually owned by the Marcos family.
When Marcos and his party first arrived in Honolulu, they were warmly welcomed by the Hawaiian Governor and his wife and senior officials of Hickam Base. Although their living conditions are not as good as China's, they are comfortable and elegant. The mayor of Honolulu also asserted that the possibility of Marcos settling in the city was as high as 99%. However, with the passage of time, Marcos gradually expressed dissatisfaction with the United States' delay in returning the detained 300 boxes of luggage, and the Reagan administration's attitude towards exiles gradually became cold, even saying that the United States "does not intend to give Marcos any diplomatic privileges."
In this case, Marcos had to negotiate with the governments of Spain, Mexico, Panama, Indonesia, Singapore and other countries to request permission to go to political asylum. Upon learning of this situation, the Aquino government immediately pointed out to the countries concerned that whoever took Marcos in, the Philippines would break diplomatic relations with him. In this way, even countries that are willing to accept Marcos can only show helplessness in the end. Marcos, who is seriously ill, lives alone in a foreign land, feeling sad and lonely, living like a year, showing strong homesickness from time to time, hoping to return to China as soon as possible.
1On May 4th, 988, Marcos' 95-year-old mother died in the suburb of Manila. After hearing the news, Mr. and Mrs. Marcos insisted on going back to China to attend their mother's funeral and threatened to fly back secretly. However, after consulting with the leaders of the two houses of Congress and the Cabinet Crisis Committee, Mrs. Aquino announced: "Based on the consideration of national interests over personal interests, I am not allowed to let the former president return to China at this time."
On May 6, 2009, Marcos died of pneumonia and heart disease. Its supporters demonstrated in front of the US Embassy in the Philippines, demanding that the US and Philippine governments allow Marcos to return to the motherland from a humanitarian standpoint. However, Mrs. Aquino still said that "in order to avoid unfortunate events", the Philippine government did not allow Marcos to return to China, and his body was not allowed to be transported back after his death.
On September 28th, Marcos finally died of heart failure in Honolulu at the age of 72. Because the American authorities issued a ban on air transportation of Marcos' remains at the request of the Philippine government, imelda had to temporarily put Marcos' coffin in an air-conditioned temporary mausoleum in the valley of Honolulu Temple Memorial Park after the funeral for her late husband in June +654381October+May, 6438. This shows that the soul of Marcos is likely to wander here for a long time before it can return to its homeland.
