Holding the American Ear

Imelda in her natural environment. Courting the ears of Powerful Men. She has the attention of the strongest man in the world. The American President.

the former ms. manila..
the face that launched a thousand political rallies..
the face that sent activists to their final resting place..
the face that bankrupted the philippine coffers..
the face that supressed freedom of the press..
et ce tera et ce tera et ce tera....

Many papers have been written about her, here in the United States.

She is the topic of many PhD doctoral thesis papers.

She is the Asian version of Marie Antoinette.

I do not know why so many American Political Analysts and Political Thinkers are obsessed about this woman. Could it be her beauty? Could it be the fact that she has the ability to play politicians with a mere twist of her finger?

American Presidents such as Johnson, Nixon, and Reagan were influenced by her fiddle.

President Marcos, probably one of the greatest politicians in the world, was living testament to the power of her influence.

Probably so, Calle.

I took a class in Political Science some 2 years ago and the course was entitled, "American Foreign Diplomacy" and the professor was Dr. Tamashiro, a great professor, in my opinion. I had a rather colloquial discussion with him on regards to Philippine-American policies regarding the Abu Sayaff, we diverged into conversations in Philippine History and he started telling me about Imelda Marcos.

The depth of information he was sharing with me and his tone was rather obligatory towards Madam Marcos. I sensed that he had some kind reverie towards the woman, on basis of her political maneuvers.

Our conversation remains in my memory because it shows to me how much interest the United States has on the Philippines. Current discourse in the Philippines is observed by American Think Tanks and classes are actually being taught, studies being conducted on the present circumstance within the Philippines as we speak.

I have a friend who is in a graduate level course for Political Science, a PhD doctoral student, who is focusing mainly on American Foreign Policy in Asia-Pacific, with focus on American-Philippine Relations in the 21st century.

I love our discussions. Dare I say 'colorful'.

Yours,
