MANILA: Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos (pic), mother of the incumbent president and widow of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos, is in better condition in hospital, her daughter, Senator Imee Marcos, said on Wednesday (March 6).
The 94-year-old, renowned for amassing more than a thousand pairs of shoes and a vast collection of jewels during her husband's 20-year autocratic rule, was put on antibiotics as she suffered from fever and slight pneumonia, her son had said.
