Claim: Noong Deceber 21, 1998, pumunta si Imelda Marcos sa Senado upang makiusap sa kanila na tulungan siyang implement ang Last Will and Testament ni Pangulong Marcos upang hindi na maghirap ang Sambayanang Pilipino. Ngunit dahil mga alipores ni Cory ang mga nakaupo sa gobyerno, inignore lamang nila ito.

Complete details: A video by the YoutTube account Filipino Future claims that former First Lady Imelda Marcos went to the Senate in 1998 to plead with the Senators to help her implement the Last Will and Testament of her husband, former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr in order to stop the suffering of the Filipinos from poverty. She claims that the former president had amassed his fortune not by stealing from the government coffers but by trading gold. The video further alleges that it was the machinations of former President Corazon Aquino influencing her cohorts in the Senate that prevented Ms. Marcos from carrying through her late husband's wishes
Why we fact check this: Ms. Marcos was in the Senate because of a Senate inquiry requiring her to explain how their family has amassed their wealth amid allegations of it being ill-gotten. Please click the links below for more details refuting this spurious claim in the video:
