Former First Lady Imelda Marcos has nothing but kind words for fallen dictators, including ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein who, she said, helped the Philippines during the Marcos regime.At the launching of her line of fashion accessories dubbed "The Imelda Collection" at the Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel yesterday, she said it was her "Imeldific" attitude that won the trust and respect of powerful world leaders who were ready to offer help to the Filipino people.
Mrs. Marcos recalled the kind gestures of Hussein and Cuban President Fidel Castro who offered aid to the Philippines during the Marcos era.
"My grandson, Borgy, said \u2018Mama Meldy I remember when you went to Saddam Hussein and you were invited there and told them that we needed jobs for Filipinos in the Middle East.\u2019 Sadly today, Hussein is facing the gallows but he was the first one who generously welcomed thousands of Filipinos, Muslims and Christians to the Middle East," Marcos said.
She also recalled how Fidel Castro explained to her Cuba\u2019s reasons for isolation from the free world.
"Fidel Castro was telling us that they were really trying to fight for justice, sovereignty, dignity and self-respect," she said.
Mrs. Marcos said she also felt abandoned during the theft court trial in New York but did not feel bitter from the ordeal. She won the case.
