'''Ferdinand Marcos''' (1917-1989) was the tenth president of the [[Philippines]], ruling from 1965 to 1986.  He ruled through force, imposing martial law in 1972 and setting up a new constitution that made him a virtual dictator.  When his top political opponent [[Benigno Aquino]] was murdered, Marcos was suspected.  He was eventually forced to flee with his wife [[Imelda Marcos]] to the United States and settled in [[Hawaii]] after he claimed victory in the 1986 election that was widely believed to have been fixed.  It was estimated he escaped with a small fortune from his poverty stricken nation.
