Guess who was at Marikina’s Shoe Festival? Former First Lady Imelda Marcos

Quick Summary:

GUESS who paid a visit to Marikina’s acclaimed Shoe Museum just as its Shoe Festival opened this week?

Her thousands of shoes, found in Malacanang after the 1986 Edsa revolt, had been put on display as part of the Palace’s tours for sightseers, but later transferred to Marikina.  Critics billed it as a reflection of her extravagance, but defenders said she was a passive collector who amassed them as they were given to her as gifts in their two decades in power.

Former First Lady Imelda Marcos is known worldwide for her extensive shoe collection.
