I had the rather weird chance of talking to ex-Philippine dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos when he yet alive in exile.I am writing this because I have never shared anyone this story and those were rather perilous times after people power ousted the dictator in 1986.
The queer part of this story, is that I got his hawaiian number from no less than the Office of his ex-Minister of Defense-Juan Ponce Enrile- who led the people power military mutiny which kicked him out of the presidency. To make things funnier, I actually used the phone of the Ministry of National Defense then
Thus, I called along with about 7 other Philippine defnse reporters and it was a Marcos aide who answered, "Who is this please?".
I said, "Oh, this is the Defense Press Corps and we want to talk to the President". Of course, he wasn't the President anymore, but then a little "courtesy" went a long way.
The next thing was a rather weak voice. "This is me."
He did not say this is "The president", so at least it was clear that he knew his time was up.
Even what he said was rather strange , "Please tell my people to support Defense Minister Enrile and General(Fidel) Ramos and never to use violence."
At that time there were yet his loyalists groups protesting in the streets because they wanted him back. One of them was a rather sexy model by the name of Annie Ferrer.
Marcos' last words were, " Oh and would you please tell that girl, what's her name?...(Annie Ferrer) that I give her my regards and kisses".
It was one of the most eerie interviews.
