In an unprecedented move, the government agency mandated to recover the ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses and their associates has opened an exhibit of some artworks sequestered from the family of the late ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) temporarily lent selected artworks originating from Italy, the former Soviet Union, and the former Yugoslavia, which are part of the art pieces traced to the Marcos family, to the Vargas Museum of the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman.
