A Showcase
Of Extravagance
The Cory Aquino Government
formed the Presidential
Commission on Good
Government (PCGG) after the fall of the Marcos Conjugal
Dictatorship in 1986. Its prime objective is the sequestration of
the ill-gotten assets
of Ferdinand E. Marcos, his relatives and cronies, and
to preserve and maintain
these until their final litigation. The
PCGG failed of its expectation to recover swiftly the so-called
ill-gotten wealth amassed
by Marcos, relatives and his cronies. Many
of the sequestered
assets were looted, plundered and vandalized. As a result
the Philippine
government lost millions. Former First Lady Imelda R.
Marcos built posh edifices
through out her reign. Imelda stored valuable art
works like priceless paintings of Filipino masters, European artists and
Russian religious icons
in Santo Niño Shrine, Tacloban, Leyte. Many
of these art objects have now been reported missing. Many of these have
been declared as fakes. Were they also bought from Vietnam?
