- La familia Romuáldez- Marcos es una dinastía familiar de origen filipino, cuyos miembros son reconocidos debido a su desempeño en varios ámbitos como la política, las acciones empresariales e inversiones, así como por su rol clave en la Historia Moderna de Filipinas. Sus dos personalidades más famosas son Ferdinand Marcos, presidente y dictador de Filipinas durante 21 años, e Imelda Marcos, esposa del anterior, política consagrada y primera dama de Filipinas, durante todo el régimen de su esposo. Imelda y Ferdinand Marcos, constituyeron la denominada «dictadura conyugal» en Filipinas, durante la cual se produjo una fuerte represión, en contra de sus opositores, se malversaron entre 5.000 y 10.000 millones de dólares, así como se valieron de fraudes electorales, e incluso de la proclamación de una Ley Marcial que duró 9 años, para permanecer en el poder. Tras la Revolución de EDSA, Imelda y Ferdinand se vieron obligados a ceder el poder y salir de filipinas, exiliándose en Hawái. Luego, tres años después, Ferdinand Marcos fallece, quedando Imelda Marcos, al frente de la familia. Desde entonces Imelda ha enfrentado más de 900 diferentes casos civiles y criminales, incluyendo uno en los Estados Unidos y ha logrado, sorprendentemente ser absuelta de virtualmente todos. (es)
- The Marcos family (UK: /ˈmɑːrkɒs/ MAR-koss, US: /-koʊs, -kɔːs/ -kohss, -kawss, Tagalog: [ˈmaɾkɔs]) is a political family in the Philippines. They have established themselves in the country's politics, having established a political dynasty that traces its beginnings to the 1925 election of Mariano Marcos to the Philippine House of Representatives as congressman for the second district of Ilocos Norte; reached its peak during the 21-year rule of Ferdinand Marcos as president of the Philippines that included his 14-year dictatorship beginning with the declaration of Martial Law throughout the country; and continues today with the political careers of Imelda Marcos, Imee Marcos, Sandro Marcos and reached its peak again with the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Imee Marcos has attributed the continued reign of the Marcos family to the inherent feudalism of Philippine culture. Although nominally democratic, Philippine society effectively blocks individual Philippine citizens from having much political power, forcing them to be dependent on powerful figures that social scientists have called "bosses" or "caciques". Sandro Marcos, the most politically prominent of the fourth generation of Marcoses, has argued that political dynasties are simply a "natural progression" for members of powerful families. Although Article II Section 26 of the current Philippine constitution, promulgated after the Marcoses were ousted from the Philippines in 1986, explicitly prohibits the perpetuation of political dynasties, little legislation has since been put in place to enforce the provision. The prominence of the Marcos family in Philippine politics has been stopped twice. The first came with the victory of Julio Nalundasan over Mariano Marcos and the subsequent arrest of Ferdinand Marcos for his murder, the publicity for which brought Ferdinand Marcos to the national consciousness and eventually led to his rise to power. The second was when Ferdinand Marcos’s dictatorship was deposed by the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution and the Marcos family was exiled to Hawaii. After Ferdinand Marcos's 1989 death, the remaining members of the family were allowed to return to the Philippines to face various corruption charges in 1992. However, they were able to return to political power that same year, to the dismay of many Filipino people, with the election of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as congressman for the second district of Ilocos Norte. At least one other branch of the family, that of Ferdinand Sr.'s sister Elizabeth Marcos-Keon, is also in politics, with her son Michael Marcos Keon having been elected board member in 2004 and governor of Ilocos Norte in 2007.
