Education--- you don't get GCSE classified as Firsts and Seconds, and even if you did she would be too old to have recieved them as the GCSE is a relatively new certificate of education. She would have been awarded the GCE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.182.199 (talk) 04:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re Ancestry

I'll need to look this up again, but I think that Rep. Imee's ancestry can be sourced from the controversial biography of her mother, The Unauthorized Biography of Imelda Marcos (can't remember the author). There is definitely someone among her ancestors who is Spanish, though I can't remember if there is someone Chinese. I'll need to confirm this, though. --- Tito Pao 21:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

According to Carmen Navarro Pedrosa in her books, The Untold story of Imelda Marcos and the Rise and Fall of Imelda Marcos, Imelda's grandmother, Trinidad Romualdez y Lopez was a daughter of a Spanish Franciscan friar, Francisco Lopez..

Her story was corroborated by Imelda's official biographer Kerima Polotan in her book, Imelda Romualdez Marcos.

In my interview with Mrs. Imelda Marcos on August 26, 2004, she confirmed her Spanish ancestry: "My father was so strict, and he had 3/4th Spanish.

As to the Chinese ancestry, Imee's father, President Ferdinand Marcos has Chinese ancestry.. This was confirmed in my interview with Cong. Imee on September 6, 2004. According to her:

Imee Marcos: Chua ang Marcos dati. alam mo ba yun? Alam mo yung Marcos-Chua
Interviewer:Yun nga po ang nabasa ko...
Imee Marcos: Yung ibang pinsan namin, Marcos... yung ibang pinsan namin, Marcos-Chua... yung iba Chua.

In his book, The Marcos Dynasty, Sterling Seagrave alleged that Ferdinand Marcos' real father was was Judge Ferdinand Chua (and not Mariano Marcos), scion of a wealthy, politically powerful Chinese clan who came to the rescue at crucial moments in Marcos' early career.
