THE LAST OF THE FOUR MARCOS SIBLINGS

In Timpuyog Journal of August 15, 2012. At the height of martial law in the 1970s, only a few people were given access to the Marcoses, particularly the siblings: Pacifico, Elizabeth, and Fortuna the youngest.

What happened to Fortuna? Why did she not play a role in the regime of her brother Ferdinand Marcos? What does she think of the younger political generations of the Marcoses?
The article tackles more of the questions.
Also in the same issue in an article by Andres Miguel Pasion in "Simsimparat iti Sirok ti Anonang" the question of killing oneself: She was beautiful, the slender kind, fair-complexioned, with a ready smile that would have disarmed you. She would have had wonderful, wonderful years ahead of her. Yet on the night her lover told her their relationship had ended, she killed herself--all of her 21 years on earth. If you were Lani, the village lass of Ambatali, Ramon, Isabela, who decided to end her life one Sunday night, what would you have done in a similar situation?
