Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences lifetime achievement award. Other than that it was probably that she had enough shoes to shod half of her nation. Mrs. Marcos was neither a film nor a television star, she merited the award because of her "lifelong pursuit and passion for the establishment of the culture and arts in the Philippines."

Despite her reputation for extravagance, including shopping trips to the world's poshest boutiques and lavish beautification projects in a nation wracked by poverty, she retained supporters and even won a congressional seat in 1995. She ran unsuccessfully for president in 1992 and again in 1998.

Many Filipinos were incensed by her unashamed opulence, but others, especially the generation born after 1986 with no memory of martial law under the 20-year Marcos regime, view her as a celebrity.

Despite some 900 civil and criminal cases she has faced in Philippine courts since 1991 - cases ranging from embezzlement and corruption to tax evasion - she has emerged relatively unscathed and never served prison time.

Marcos is running for a congressional seat in Ilocos Norte under her husband's political party, the New Society Movement, which has weakened considerably since his death. In Ilocos Norte, a laid-back province of 390,000 where the late strongman built a network of fine roads, an international airport and seaports, the Marcoses are adored.
