The general idea is to take a leisure drive to Los Banos, Laguna in Luzon Island from Davao City in the Mindanao Island, spend most of the vacation time in Luzon, and then drive back through the opposite side of the country.
Papa Sez and Mama Sez are on their second decade together. In fact, one of those milestones they are celebrating during this Island Travel Adventure is their 11th Wedding Anniversary! And they will be on the road on this date! (photo by Simon Ostheimer)
Imelda's life is depicted in a series of dioramas in the first floor rooms of the Museum. Even more telling about how she wants to be portrayed to the world are the artworks in the second floor.
The huge Malakas at Maganda wooden art piece in a wall of the Firefly Room reflects the widely known desire of the Marcoses to be likened to the legend as the father and mother of the Filipino race, i.e. from whom all Pinoys come from. The legend tells about Malakas (meaning strong) and Maganda (meaning beautiful) coming forth from huge bamboos as depicted in the art piece shown in the photo above.
The Romualdez's family tree with Imelda at the top, showing her special status even within her family.
Imelda is depicted in this painting as the mother of all Filipinos, cradling them as mother nurturing her children. Nature's bounty is reflected in the richness of the seas. Her husband, Ferdinand, is relegated to the background (even partly concealed by the drapes) in the photo above.
