Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos, escapes his country with his family for Hawaii on February 25, 1986, via U.S. Air Force planes after a fraudulent electoral victory over Corazon Aquino. His departure ended his 20-year rule and allowed Corazon Aquino to assume the Presidency.
When the Marcos family arrived in Hawaii they carried significant, undeclared wealth and after Ferdinand Marcos's death1989, the remaining members of the family were allowed to return to the Philippines to face various corruption charges in 1992. However, they were able to return to political power that same year, to the dismay of many Filipino people, with the election of Bongbong Marcos (Son of Ferdinand E. Marcos) as congressman for the second district of Ilocos Norte. He was elected to president of the Philippines in June 30, 2022.
