Imelda's jewels go under the hammer

[dArKeR]

Manila - Jewellery once owned by former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos is to be auctioned overseas, an agency hunting billions of dollars stolen by ex-dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his widow said on Tuesday.

At least two international auction houses have expressed interest in selling off the trinkets recovered by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG), chairperson Haydee Yorac said on Tuesday.

Asked at a forum organised by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines for a valuation of the jewellery, Yorac said "around 10 million US dollars".

Where are the Media Whores who should be publishing the truth? Marcos killed more people, was more brutal to citizens, and stole more money than Saddam did? (And with direct cooperation with the US Government.)
