- Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralín Marcos was a Filipino politician and lawyer, president of his country from 1965 to 1986. Married to Imelda Marcos, former beauty in the Philippines, which is also known for its large shoe collection.
He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1949 and to the Senate in 1959. After losing the presidential elections as a candidate for the Liberal Party in 1964, he was elected president as a candidate for the Nationalist Party in 1964, being reelected in 1969 and still in 1981.
During his government, economic and social reforms were carried out, as well as a new Constitution that gave more powers to the Presidency. Strong opposition led him to arrest his opposition leaders and institute martial law, starting a guerrilla war by the Maoists and Muslim separatists. He lifted martial law in 1981, but nevertheless, government corruption increased, as did poverty and guerrilla warfare.
In 1986, he was officially declared the winner of the elections, but national and international suspicion of massive electoral fraud was suspected, and the army was then divided and Marcos fled to Hawaii (in the course of the so-called Edsa Revolution or of Popular Power) rising to power Corazón Aquino, the widow of Benigno Aquino, one of his great opponents, murdered in 1983, when he returned to the Philippines.
In November 2016, he was buried in the Cemetery of Filipino Heroes - Mark Dignam was born on 20 March 1909 in Ealing, London, England, UK.

Mustachioed, latterly balding British comic character actor of solid pipe-smoking, plummy-voiced comportment. The son of Edmund and Kathleen Marion (née Brook), he was educated at Clifton College and made his debut on the London stage in a 1931 production of Sport of Kings. Rarely out of work for the remainder of the decade, he also sidelined as a newsreel commentator for British Movietone News and segued into screen acting with ABPC Elstree in 1938. Sumner's specialty act was the archetypal bumbling 'silly ass', which included a staple of supercilious army officers and clubroom types. Best of these caricatures was his utterly inept Major Upshott-Bagley of I Only Arsked! (1958) and the resulting spin-off series The Army Game (1957). Between 1958 and 1962, Sumner took on a new line of work as writer and producer of documentaries. In 1973, he headlined on Broadway in the comedy play The Jockey Club Stakes as Lord Coverly de Beaumont. He retired from acting in 1980 and died nine years later on the island of Alderney.- Gianni Santuccio was born on 21 May 1911 in Clivio, Lombardy, Italy.
