Imee Marcos used PAL as an express service to deliver her breastmilk daily from Europe to Manila

Caroline Kennedy (m. 1969–1985) was a British writer who lived in the Philippines for several years. She was married to National Artist Ben Cabrera and knew the Marcoses well.

She once had the chance to ask Irene, Imee’s younger sister, how Imee was able to breastfeed her son while traveling around Europe. Excerpt from her website post dated June 6, 2010:

“Later that same summer I found myself sitting on a sofa next to Imee’s younger sister, Irene. She and her new husband, Greg Araneta, were visiting London on their honeymoon. I now had a perfect opportunity to ask Irene why Imee had left her baby Ferdinand at home. “Daddy thought it was safer for him to stay in Manila,” Irene replied. “But I think I heard her saying she was still breastfeeding…” “Yes, she was.” Irene sounded bored. But I was intrigued. “How on earth did she continue to do that when she was travelling around Europe?” I persisted.” Irene glanced at me as though I was stupid. “Simple, Caroline!” she laughed. “She just expressed her milk everyday and then Daddy sent a Philippine Airlines plane to wherever she was and it would bring the milk back!” Irene shrugged her shoulders as if to say – isn’t that what every mother does when she’s away from her newborn baby for several weeks?”

That time coincides w/ PAL flight delays & cancellations of in Europe

Sec. Dominguez Rebukes the so called ‘Success’ of Masagana 99 as per Imee Marcos

Transcript:

Imee Marcos: Yes we’ll forward to that po, umm during Masagana 99 in the 70’s there was also very effective use of commercial banks, rural banks and even cooperative banks and I believe that scheme would truly work. However perhaps we could consider enlarging the national government’s stake even in that regard.

Second question po..

Sec. Dominguez: MA’M BEFORE WE GO AHEAD..

Imee Marcos : Yes!

Sec. Dominguez : SINCE YOU SAID MASAGANA 99,

Imee Marcos : Opo!

Sec. Dominguez : I WAS THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE THAT CLEANED UP THE MESS OF MASAGANA 99. THAT WAS LEFT BY MASAGANA 99. THERE WERE ABOUT 800 RURAL BANKS THAT WERE BANKRUPTED BY THAT PROGRAM AND WE HAD TO RESCUE THEM.

SO WHETHER IT WAS A TOTAL SUCCESS OR NOT HAS TO BE MEASURED AGAINST THAT.

Imee Marcos : The success po perhaps was not in banking it was certainly in rice exportation. So..

Sec. Dominguez : Ah, no. WE NEVER EXPORTED RICE. WE NEVER EXPORTED RICE, MA’M.
