Imee Marcos

Imee Marcos fascinates me as a study in legacy and ambition. Born in Mandaluyong into the Philippines' most scrutinized political dynasty, she earned a Princeton education and then built a substantial career of her own: nine years as governor of Ilocos Norte, a congressional seat, and now the Senate, plus a turn as a television presenter. Carrying a surname that draws fierce admiration and fierce criticism in equal measure is its own burden, and she has navigated it with notable composure. Regardless of where one stands politically, her staying power and influence across Asia are undeniable. I find her steadiness under permanent scrutiny genuinely impressive.
